Cats love to have places to hide and spend time alone, however excessive hiding and trembling can be a sign of anxiety.  If you notice that your pet is exhibiting anxious behavior, here are a few tips to help keep your cat calm.

Tips to Reduce Anxiety:

• Offer An Enriched Environment - Make your home more reminiscent of the outdoors.  Install a fish tank or hang a bird feeder outside of the window.  This can help your cat feel more comfortable at home.
• Give Them Toys - Toys don't have to be complex.  Even an empty paper bag can be entertaining for your cat.  You can also give them a wand toy that they can pounce on and hunt.
• Switch Their Food - Cats are natural hunters.  Try to mimic that during their meals!  You can switch their food bowl to a puzzle feeder that dispenses kibble when it is batted about.
• Don't Over Pet - We love to spend time with our cats and pet them when we're allowed, but many cats don't like to be petted.
