Separation anxiety is a common problem among dogs, but can cats also experience it?
According to experts, cats can experience separation anxiety, but it is less common than in dogs.
Cats may show signs of separation anxiety by excessively meowing, urinating outside the litter box, or destroying furniture.
Cats may also become more clingy or withdrawn when their owners are away.
Separation anxiety in cats can be caused by changes in routine, moving to a new home, or the loss of a companion.
To help cats with separation anxiety, experts recommend providing plenty of toys and activities to keep them occupied while their owners are away.
Cats may also benefit from pheromone sprays or diffusers, which can help to calm them down.
Owners can also try gradually increasing the amount of time they spend away from their cats to help them adjust to being alone.
If a cat's separation anxiety is severe, medication may be necessary to help them cope.
