Cats are prone to stressors in their immediate environment. Exposure can have negative impacts on their health and well-being, especially when it’s long-term. Some of the top stressors for cats include boredom, anxiety, perceived threats, declawing, loud noises, loss of a favorite human or another pet, arrival of a new pet or member of the household, parasitic infestations (internal and external), changes in the daily household routine, and parties, just to name a few. Prolonged stress in cats in cats can pave the way for urinary tract problems, allergies, skin problems, and even cancer. If a cat is ill, stress can delay recovery. Stress can also cause behavior problems in cats. These may include excessive grooming, destructive behavior, chewing or scratching, marking, and inappropriate elimination among others.
