Question

How do I know if Autumn has separation anxiety? What are the more commonly observed and documented traits that cats with separation anxiety display? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 5 years and 8 months old | 10 lbs

Daniel Fonza, DVM · Accepted Answer

Cats with separation anxiety can exhibit many signs. Hiding / reclusive behavior, meowing / vocalizing more, scratching at walls or doors, shaking, inappetance, drooling, etc. can all be signs that your cat is experiencing separation anxiety. I would recommend using products such as Feliway and NaturVet Quiet Moments Calm Chews with Melatonin which you can find online or at your local Petco. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
