How to reduce stress when taking your cat outside
1. Use a cat carrier or flight cage
Cats are naturally timid animals. Therefore, it is recommended to put the cat in a cat carrier or flight cage if you need to take it outside. The owner can put some familiar toys or items in the cage or carrier, which can effectively reduce the stress caused by the unfamiliar environment outside.
2. Choose a suitable mode of transportation
Unpleasant transportation methods can also cause stress to cats. The noise, dust, and strangers on the road will make the cat feel scared. Therefore, it is recommended to drive your own car when taking the cat outside, which will make the cat feel more secure. If you don't have a car, you can also choose to take a taxi.
3. Use pheromones
Pheromones are liquids that release information hormones into the air, which can relieve the cat's emotions. Therefore, the owner can spray a little pheromone on the cat carrier in advance. When the cat is put into the carrier, it can relieve the cat's nervousness and reduce the stress response. In addition, pheromones can also be tried to relieve the stress, anxiety, and pressure caused by moving to a new home for the cat.
