Skittish cats have to be offered ample space and time to let them acclimate to their environment and interactions with humans. This helps the cat be less afraid of her environment and human companions. If your home has other pets or perhaps you have young children around, your pet cat might be fearful of them too. It is therefore imperative that your pets are taught to live peacefully with each other. But this might take time. Additionally, children must be taught not to move too fast around the new pet cat until such time that they are used to having each other around. A sick cat could also become skittish. She might run away and just hide even if the humans around her are taking care of her.
Should your normally friendly cat all of a sudden become skittish, you may want to visit your veterinarian to see if something is wrong. A cat being skittish might be caused by all these things. If your cat is skittish you still have some options to deal with it and change her.
Make an appointment with your professional vet Town N Country if you have any concerns about your pet’s behavior.
