What are the signs of depression in the cat?

The signs of depression in the cat are easily identifiable: He has little attraction for food , he sleeps little, he is not interested in news brought home and he can become irascible when we want to pet him.

What are the causes of cat depression?

The causes of malaise in the cat are multiple. First of all it can come from a trauma in particular or from a place of residence that does not correspond to it. Indeed, the territory in the cat is essential: Having a hunting instinct, if he finds himself in an environment that does not allow him to express himself as a cat, he will be unhappy.

Depression can also come from living conditions in which it evolves, the cohabitation with other cats for example may not correspond to it. It should also be known that the cat does not distinguish between good and bad. Thus it is very difficult for him to understand when his owners punish him, and this can give rise to a feeling of "bad being" in him, of seeing fear.

An environment that changes regularly (moving ...) can also cause depression in the cat. Finally, if the cat has a hyper-attachment to the person who cares for him and he finds himself separated from her, there is a good chance that he will, again, a depression.
