Separation Anxiety Solutions Part 2

고양이는 개보다 훨씬 독립적 인 성격을 가지고있어 분리 불안이 적습니다. 그러나, 그들의 변덕스러운 성격은이 문제를 아주 작은 경고로 촉발 될 수있는 현재의 위협으로 만든다. 설상가상으로 고양이는 개와 같이 분명히 증상을 드러내지 않습니다. 고양이가 화가 나면 스트레스 해소를 위해 여러 가지 일을합니다. 키티를 괴롭히지 않으려면 고양이의 별거 불안에 대한 몇 가지 주요 증상과 해결책이 있습니다.

분리 불안 증상 :

• Excessive leg rubbing or clawing- While most cats are affectionate, there is usually a limit. If your cat insistently passes its daily allotment of rubbing every time you walk in the door, or likes to greet you with a scratch, you might have a problem.
• Shadowing and Blockading- If your cat is following you from room to room, or trying to stand between you and the front door, he or she probably doesn’t want you to go too far.
• OCD cleaning- Cats keep clean with daily grooming. However, if your cat is grooming to such an extent that it’s losing fur, then separation anxiety is a definite possibility.
• Ignoring the litter box- Cats know exactly where they should go, but depending on their attitude towards you they may just choose to do their business on the bed. This is not a sign of a contented kitty cat.
• Chewing, scratching, or biting- If your cat begins to have a problem keeping its destructive impulses confined to the scratching post, they may be suffering from separation anxiety.
• Loss of appetite or nausea- nervousness and anxiety can cause your cat to eschew its food and even retch. Be on the lookout for this unfortunate behavior.

고양이는 항상 그렇듯이 강아지보다 조금 복잡합니다. 이렇게하는 동안 키티가 계속 행동하는 것을 유지하기 위해 사용해야하는 트릭은 조금 복잡합니다.

Separation Anxiety Solutions:

• Counter-conditioning-You’ll have to be extremely repetitive with your actions before leaving the house in order to reduce the amount of stress a cat has when it sees them. Cats pay a lot of attention to detail so anything that you do regularly including:
  • Picking up your keys
  • Putting on your shoes
  • Opening up the door
  • Carrying a purse/suitcase
  • Packing a bag


• All of these should be repeated 10 to 50 times in a clear line of sight for the cat.
  • Use catnip- Toss some in your suitcase so the cat correlates the bag with fun rather than you leaving, or leave some on the ground when you leave to keep kitty busy.
  • Leave the TV on the nature channel or other cat-centered programming
  • Leave harp music on the radio. Apparently, harp music is shown to have a soothing effect on felines. Who’d have thought?
  • Toys- Just like dogs, cats can be easily distracted.
  
  Apply these cat tactics, and the anxiety problems should cease fairly quickly. But if your cat’s behavioral problems persist, it is advisable to consult your vet for further professional council.
