Pet owners are unsure whether a cat can have mental issues. When you observe your cat and see that she has a behavioral problem, she could be suffering from a condition in the nervous system.
If your cat seems to move slower, she might be suffering from some form of brain injury. The other possible causes could be environmental poison, nerve disorder, mutations, and cognitive malfunction.
If the brain injury is the culprit, you shouldn't have to worry if your cat seems fine. When you see that she continues to function well despite the brain injury, just let it be. But if you want peace of mind, you can get a diagnosis from the vet to see if there's nothing to worry about.
In case your cat is quite old, her feline dementia should not be confused with brain injury. When your feline friend is about nine years old, she may start to walk awkwardly, become aggressive or suffer from incontinence.
If you have any questions or concerns
about your pet’s behavior, don’t
