Hiding May Be A Sign Of Illness In Cats

broken image

Some cats that are in pain or not feeling well may hide under the bed or furniture. Although they are known for their high tolerance to pain, they instinctively find ways to hide what they are feeling, something that they inherited from their wild ancestors. In the wild, showing pain is a sign of vulnerability that potential predators can easily take advantage of.

 

Cat parents are unable to sense that there is something wrong with their furballs especially if they don’t spend as much time interacting and playing with them. Spending time regularly with your pet will enable you to spot the not so subtle red flags that can be a telltale sign that your pet is ill. A sudden change in your pet’s daily routine, such as lack of grooming, a poor appetite, depression, or lethargy are important signs t hat should never be ignored. You should make an appointment with your animal hospital Carrollton, GA sooner rather than later.
