Cats, as cute pets, are quite neurotic and easily produce stress reactions to external stimuli. For cats, stress reactions are often closely related to changes in the environment. For cats arriving in a new environment, owners must closely observe the cat's adaptation status to prevent the cat from harming itself or others due to stress reactions, which in severe cases can endanger the cat's life. So how should we soothe them?

The first sip of water and the first bite of food after the cat arrives in a new environment are very important. After the cat arrives in the new environment, place it in a quiet room, avoid too much external stimulation. Do not allow children at home to play noisily nearby. In a quiet environment, the cat will gradually relax, and then you can feed the cat. If the cat has not eaten for a whole day after arriving in the new environment, you should take it seriously and promptly take the cat to the hospital for examination.

How to soothe a cat? First, we should place the cat in a quiet room, preferably checking every two hours. See if the cat has eaten, defecated, or urinated. Then accompany the cat in the room every 3 hours, and you can bring some treats to entice it. Playing with the cat and grooming its fur will help it relax more. You can buy some cat toys to place in the room or sprinkle some catnip there. If the cat is adopted from a previous owner, you can bring over the toys, cat mats, and cat beds it used before, which will help the cat adapt to the new environment.

Prohibited actions for a cat in a new environment: do not bathe the cat within one month. The cat is already very tense in a new environment, and bathing will reduce the cat's immunity. A decline in immunity during the stress reaction period can seriously affect the cat's health; do not change the cat food within one month. Cats easily recognize the flavor of one kind of food. We can take one week as a cycle, adding a small amount of new cat food each time into the old cat food, which helps the cat adapt to the food.
