Helping Your Cat Overcome Fear


Do you have a feline friend that acts fearless and adventurous yet shows signs of distress during a thunderstorm or when there is a loud sound? Some felines get scared during these types of situations. If you have noticed that your kitty would begin to pace or break a sweat in these conditions, contact your veterinarian immediately. However, if you observed that your feline friend just goes into hiding when there is thunder or loud noise, there are some home remedies you can do to calm your cat down.

During a thunderstorm and you see that your kitty is scared, try to make a distraction and keep her preoccupied or take her somewhere else where it is quiet and not too noisy. Some ways to distract her are to provide her with toys, engage in playing with her, hand her some treats, or just relax with her on the sofa and read or watch some shows on TV as you would normally do. These activities could help keep your cat calm and relaxed.  When your cat senses that you are relaxed and at peace, they tend to mimic your tranquility.

If you have any questions or concerns about your pet’s health and/or behavior,  don’t hesitate to contact your animal hospital Ellicott City, MD.
