Stressor Audit – Is My Cat Stressed?
For many of us, our pet cats are stressed and we may not even realise it is a problem. Many health issues developed by our feline friends are made worse by physiological stress. For example, inflammation of the bladder wall (cystitis) is strongly linked to stress hormone in the blood. Therefore it is very important that we examine our cat’s social lifestyle rather than reaching for the pills.
So how would you know if your cat might be suffering with stress? Please take my quiz below to find out…
I understand how easy it is to miss the early signs of stress in cats. As a qualified feline behaviour specialist, I work closely with cats and their owners to uncover the underlying causes of behavioural and stress-related issues, rather than simply managing the symptoms. My background in feline behaviour, health and handling allows me to look at the bigger picture and understand how a cat’s environment, routine and social interactions can affect both their emotional and physical wellbeing.
My approach is holistic and cat-centred. I take the time to assess your cat’s lifestyle, home environment and individual needs, offering practical, achievable advice to help reduce stress and improve overall quality of life. This may include recommendations around environmental enrichment, resource placement and routine adjustments, all tailored specifically to your cat. My aim is to help cats feel safe, secure and understood in their own homes, while supporting owners to build a calmer, happier relationship with their feline companions.
