What to do if your cat is depressed

If your cat is depressed, you should timely provide comfort and treatment. You need to spend more time with your cat, and you can often stroke its head and body to make it feel your love. At the same time, you should also pay attention not to scare your cat, or it will worsen its condition. If the condition is severe, you will need to use medication under the guidance of a pet doctor.

Spend more time with your cat

Cats, like humans, need companionship. If you find that your cat is depressed, you can spend more time with it and play with it. You can use a cat toy to play with your cat daily and divert its attention. In addition, you can also take your cat out for a walk in your spare time to let it relax and gradually recover from its psychological state.

Give more love to your cat

When your cat is depressed, you need to provide it with more love and help it get out of its depressed state. For example, you can often gently stroke your cat's head and body at home to comfort it. You can also prepare more delicious cat food and toys your cat likes, and create a comfortable environment for it to relax and lower its guard.

Do not scare your cat

Depressed cats are extra sensitive to their surroundings and people, so you should be extra careful not to scare them. Even when giving them a bath, or bringing other animals home, which could worsen their condition.

Medical treatment

If your cat's condition is severe, you should consult a pet doctor in time and use medications to alleviate anxiety symptoms under the guidance of the doctor. Some of these medications include Trazodone, Gabapentin, and Alprazolam.
