The Anxious Cat: A Calm, Practical Companion for Understanding and Soothing Your Anxious Cat

Does your cat hide at the sound of a doorbell, spray urine when stressed, or overgroom until bald patches appear? You are not imagining it—anxiety in cats is real, common, and deeply distressing for both of you. This warm, evidence-informed handbook gives you the tools to decode your cat's fear signals, identify triggers, and build a calming environment that respects feline nature. You'll learn how to create safe spaces, use pheromone diffusers and enrichment activities, adjust feeding and litter-box routines to reduce tension, and gently introduce handling or carrier training. Step-by-step guidance covers recognizing subtle stress cues, working with your veterinarian on behavior-modifying medications or supplements, and knowing when to consult a certified feline behaviorist. Whether your cat's anxiety is mild or severe, you'll find compassionate, practical strategies that help her feel secure—and help you feel confident. Part of The Happy Pet Library.
