One of the biggest challenges cat owners face is realizing that their pet is not feeling well.
It is the very nature of animals that when they feel unwell they keep a low profile.
There is a reason for this. In nature, cats hide when they feel bad, so as not to show their weakness to potential enemies.
This instinct has remained in domesticated cats. However, there are ways to know if a cat is unwell.
How to understand that a cat is not feeling well
The following signs indicate that your pet is feeling unwell:
- strong changes in behavior, such as refusing to eat, wanting to hide away;
- aggression and desire to bite;
- disruptions in toilet visits when the cat walks past the litter box.
In addition, a warm dry nose, discharge from the eyes and nose, as well as the so-called third eyelid will definitely not escape the attention of an attentive owner. In such cases, it is definitely worth contacting a knowledgeable specialist.
