- Allow the cat (where possible) to have free access to outdoor areas such as a balcony, courtyard, or garden and provide (always) different resting areas in different areas of the house.
- Pay attention to “stressful” situations for the cat such as moving house, the arrival of another cat or the arrival of a baby, frequent guests at home, loud noises, retirement or cattery, etc. You can also help your cat with natural pheromone therapy.
