Feliway

Unwanted or strange cat behaviour is often due to cat stress.

Why do cats show unwanted behaviours or get stressed?

Cats like to be in control of their environment.

Cats carefully mark their home environment using facial marking, therefore, if we remove or disrupt these marks by moving furniture, bringing in a new item, excessive cleaning, building work, DIY etc we can disorientate our cats and in some cases bring on stress.

What are the unwanted cat behaviours (signs of cat stress)?

Unfortunately, as a prey species cats have developed ways of hiding any weakness, including, stress. Cats may show very little sign that they are upset and the signs they do show (being so different from those displayed by more social species like dogs and people) are commonly misinterpreted as bad or ‘naughty’ behaviour rather than a cry for help.

Signs to look out for include:

• Urine spraying
• Vertical scratch marking
• Hiding away or refusing to interact
• Over grooming
• Tension or multi-cat conflict

Further Advice

As well as taking cats away from their territory bringing new arrivals into their territory can also be a stressful experience. Cats are “sole survivors” and would not live in groups in the wild therefore living in groups in a domestic situation can also cause problems. The most common problem is multi-cat tension.
