The annual holidays can be a really nerve-racking time for your cat. This is the time of the year once
that strange tree goes up, bright trinkets are adorned (but all your cat hears is “No, no, bad kitty!” once
she tries to explore them), delicious food is prepared (cats need not apply to eat it!), and lots of strange folk move tramping into the house.
Some cats are in their glory, being in the middle of the tree decoration tradition, piece others react to differences in the family by cowering in fear. Plus, if the holidays stress you out (raise your hand if they don’t; the rest of us would-be like to cognize your secret), it’ll be communicated to
kitty, and she may react in kind. And sometimes that fear and stress manifests itself in your cat urinating outside her litter box.
Here are three steps you can do to reduce holiday stress for your cat.
First, support the family changes to a minimum. Think just about wherever
you mightiness put the Christmas tree. If you put the tree
in a place that usually belongs to kitty, she could be mighty upset with you. Her reaction could range from concealment for days to urinating underneath the tree, if not trying to pull it down. Look for a location that pleases several the human and animal population in your house. If that’s not
possible, and knowing how cats can be, you’ll have to settle for pleasing one or the other. My bet is it’s whoever pays
the bills.
My cat Scout thinks the Christmas tree is a new litter box location. She’ll urinate on the tree cover. That’s a treat to clean! I have to support a plastic liner under the tree to facilitate the clear up. I do double certain to support all the litter boxes clean, but she feels a need to express herself creatively at this time of the year. It’s her way to conducive to the tree decorating tradition.
Next, if you own a scaredy kitty, confine her to a safe room once
hosting holiday events in your home. If possible, confine your kitty in a place that guests won’t stumble in. Put her food, water, and a clear litter box in the room. Finish in from time to time to reassure her that it’s alright.
If there aren’t adequate concealment spots in her room, think just about putt a box or large paper bag in with her, and encourage her to burrow in it.
Finally, purchase several natural flower essence compounds to put in her food or water all during the holiday season.
There are several nice remedies that are suggested for situational stress. Add a few drops in kitty’s food or water
twice a day, and you’ll see results inside
24 hours. Flowering essences are besides safe for human consumption, so if you’re contemplating a fall into insanity, take a few drops yourself!
You can besides purchase synthetic endocrine substances that move pre-packaged in a bottle that plugs into any electrical
outlet in your home. This remedy lasts about a month.
Good luck, and happy holidays to you and your family – humans and animals!
