The correct way to deal with stress reactions in cats:
Soothe it gently first without disturbing it too much. Let it stay in a familiar, safe place and slowly adjust and recover.
When moving, don’t throw away your cat’s favorite items. Bring them to your new home to increase your cat’s familiarity.
If symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea occur, you can feed probiotics in an appropriate amount to regulate the intestines and relieve the discomfort caused by stress.
Divert your cat's attention with toys or food she likes to ease the effects of stress.
If you have a loss of appetite, be sure to try to get it to eat. Not eating for a long time will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and is not good for health.
Once a cat has a severe stress reaction, such as hunger strike, vomiting, anuria, etc., it must seek medical treatment in time without delay.
