Professional reminder:Cat emotional problems usually require 3-6 weeks of continuous intervention to be effective, so please be patient. It is recommended to use a mobile phone to record 15 seconds of daily videos of cats every month to facilitate comparison of behavioral changes. If there is still no improvement after trying the above methods for 2 weeks, it is recommended to make an appointment with a professional cat behaviorist for consultation.
By analyzing recent hot data, it was found that about 82% of cats’ emotional problems are related to changes in the environment. Regular evaluation of the "cat happiness index" (including the four dimensions of diet, excretion, social interaction, and activity) can effectively prevent the occurrence of emotional problems.
