Anxious Cat - The timid tabby!
Your cat is not the most courageous cat and may flee or get scared around visitors or other animals or when left alone for too long. However, with proper care and attention, your skittish kitty can learn to be more confident.
Create cat only hiding areas (beds, cardboard boxes etc.) throughout your home, so they have plenty of opportunity to hide and know they have an escape. Having a hiding place helps, as avoiding the stressful situation that is making them anxious is how they cope.
FELIWAY Can Help!
Using FELIWAY CLASSIC Spray when introducing these safe places can be really beneficial. It will make these places feel extra special and safe for your cat by spraying ‘comforting messages’ in the box, on blankets, or bedding which makes cats feel really secure and calm. Your cat will always love reassurance, so continue to give the same love and affection daily.
For extra support and comfort a FELIWAY CLASSIC Diffuser can help. Just plug in the room your cat spends the most time in. This can help build their confidence as they learn to feel safer, calmer, and reduce the amount of time spent hiding. These suggestions will continue to nurture your relationship with your cat. Your cat will be spending more time with you and less time hiding, so you’ll both be even happier together. Never force your cat to face their fears - this only increases their fear and could exacerbate their issue.
