Stress affects cats differently for different reasons. This is likely due to genetic factors, but there are undoubtedly environmental factors as well, such as a lack of early socialisation.
Taking your cat away from home, whether it be for a trip to the vet or a stay at a boarding cattery, can cause acute stress. When a cat is extremely stressed, they frequently act very upset at the time, but as long as they have time to calm down comfortably at home afterwards, the effects shouldn't last very long.
Other cats are one of the main stressors for cats. If there are enough resources for the number of cats and if they all get along, having more than one cat in your home can work well. Some cats may experience extreme anxiety when sharing food or water bowls, resting areas, or litter trays, which may result in chronic stress. Even if a cat lives alone, they may still run into issues if they meet other cats outside that they don't get along with. If other cats can see into your house, your cat won't be able to flee by going inside, which might make life very challenging.
Even other animals can worry cats. While many cats and dogs get along well (often better than if they were both cats, some cats find it difficult to deal with certain situations, such as the introduction of a new puppy.
Even well-intentioned family members might stress out a cat if they try to pet, fuss over, or pick them up when they don't want to be touched. Small children, who can't tell when cats don't want to connect, or new newborns crying and needing attention from the people in the house can also be a cause of ongoing stress for cats who prefer regularity and privacy
Some cats may suffer from chronic stress if they are bored and frustrated by lack of opportunities to fulfil their behavioural needs.
If you think that the thing is going to be out of control then visit to your veterinarian, consult with him, take his/ her suggestion. If he/ she may suggest some anxiety medicine for cats, then try to give that to your furry on time to time basis, it will surely provide your pets some relief.
