   HOW TO CHEER UP A DEPRESSED CAT
   
   by Admin February 24, 2021
   
   
   Depression is the response of the mind and body towards various inducements.
   Depression can be displayed in the form of numerous mental and physical
   behavioral changes, which can also encourage the development of certain
   diseases. It is usually believed that cats have it easy, but it is very
   common for these feline creatures to experience stress and depression. Stats
   show that depression is experienced by almost 40% of indoor cats due to
   tediousness and dull lifestyle. Cats are very concealed and conservative
   animals and it can be difficult to know if they are depressed. Here are some
   elements that may indicate if your cat is depressed and, how to cure cat
   depression.
   
   
   CAUSES OF CAT DEPRESSION
   
   Depression in cats can arise due to many factors. From an inactive lifestyle
   to abandonment, there can be various reasons causing a cat’s depression. For
   example,
   
    * Moving houses / constructional work in the house
    * Meeting now people, cats or babies
    * Interaction with violent outdoor cats
    * Losing a loved one
    * Arrival of a new house pet
    * Being yelled or scolded at
    * Inactive / boring lifestyle
    * Lack of attention
    * Injury or illness
    * Abandonment
   
   
    EVALUATING IF YOUR CAT HAS DEPRESSION
   
   If you are curious to know whether your cat is experiencing depression,
   following are some symptoms to look out for:
   
    * Constant snoozing
    * Overeating
    * Appetite loss
    * Lack of self-grooming
    * Excreting outside the litter box
    * Lethargy  
    * Loss of interest in once enjoyable activities
    * Sudden weight gain or loss 
    * Aggressive behavior (hissing and scratching) 
   
   
   HOW TO CURE CAT DEPRESSION
   
   Here are some things you should do in order to elevate a depressed cat’s
   mood:
   
   
   ATTENTION
   
   Cats are very attention craving animals. If not given the right amount of
   love and attention, they may fall a prey to depression. Socialize with your
   feline friend every day using interactive cat toys such as fishing toys,
   feathers and bouncy balls to chase around. Occasionally playing with laser
   toys can also be fun but frequently chasing the laser around can leave the
   cat irritated and confused as it is incapable of catching the laser.
   
   
   A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT
   
   Just like human beings, a clean and sanitary environment will keep the cat
   healthy and happy. Cats are very clean and well-groomed animals and love to
   be in a clean and spotless environment. Cats clean themselves by licking the
   dirt and debris off their coats using their tongues, which contains small
   bristle like spikes. You should not smoke around a cat as smoke particles get
   stuck on their fur and the cat might ingest those particles while cleaning
   its coat. It is also vital to keep your cat’s litter clean or else it will
   excrete outside the litter box.       
   
   
   ACTIVE AND BUSY LIFESTYLE
   
   Interactive cat toys are very beneficial to prevent depression in kitties and
   keep them lively and active. A playmate for your cat can also be a great way
   of keeping your cat active. You can place bird feeders/houses outside your
   windows or get a fish tank as gazing at fish/birds can be a very enjoyable
   activity for cats.
   
   
   AVOID DECLAWING  
   
   Declawing is the process of amputating the tip bone of a cat’s toes. It is a
   very cruel and painful surgery which serves no beneficial purpose for the
   cat. In fact, it causes severely negative physical and psychological effects
   in the cat’s health. Some alternatives are to use soft nail and claw
   caps/covers and using scratching posts so that the cat does not scratch your
   furniture and sofas.  
   
   
   AVOID YELLING AND LOUD MUSIC
   
   Cats are very sensitive to loud sounds and noises. They have one of the
   widest hearing ranges in mammals. Scolding and Shouting at your cat can have
   a negative impact on your cat’s health. They are incapable of understanding
   why they are being shouted or scolded at. It is even advised to not use
   collars with bells as the constant jingling can be very annoying and
   stressful for cats.
   
   
   NUTRITIOUS FOOD
   
   Healthy and nutritious foods result in a healthy cat. Make sure that the
   kibble you use does not contain any harmful substances such as Butylated
   Hydroxyanisole (BHA), Carrageenan, Glucose / Dextrose etc. Cats can be very
   particular so try to introduce variety as eating the same type of food can
   drive the cat to simply, stop eating it. You can also use treats as a way to
   encourage disciplined behavior in cats.
   
   
   REGULAR VISITS TO THE VET
   
   Visiting the vet regularly for preventative checkups and deworming sessions
   is very necessary. Visits to the vet can help to determine your cat’s health
   and diagnose any injury or illness that may also be causing depression. Even
   if a cat seems perfectly healthy, it should still see the vet at least once a
   year.
