How do you help a stressed cat?

1. Provide a calm and quiet environment**. Find a place for your cat where they can retreat from noise and activity.

2. Make sure your cat has access to food, water, and a litter box at all times**.

3. Spend time with your cat playing, grooming them, or just relaxing in their company**.

4. Provide hiding places. Cats feel safe when they have a place to hide. Provide your cat with several hiding places, such as a cardboard box, a cat bed, or a cat tree.

5. Use pheromones. Pheromones are chemicals that cats produce to communicate with each other. Some pheromone products can help to reduce stress in cats.

6. Talk to your veterinarian. If your cat's stress is severe, your veterinarian may recommend medication or other treatments.
