Offer meaningful choices
Cats benefit from safe elevated places, quiet hiding spots, and resources placed in different rooms. This helps them control their environment and reduce tension.
Play in ways that reflect natural behaviour
Short games that imitate stalking, hiding, and hunting can be more engaging. Let your cat rest afterwards and rotate toys regularly.
Keep a predictable rhythm
A reasonably consistent routine for feeding, play, and rest helps many cats feel safer. Contact a veterinarian if you notice sudden behaviour changes, loss of appetite, or signs of pain.
