和我们很多人一样,猫也离不开它们的家。自然地,恐惧或焦虑的一个常见原因是离开熟悉的环境,进入一个新的、不熟悉的环境。高盛说:“任何让他们离开家乡的事情都会造成压力。”去度假?约翰逊警告说,带上你的猫之前要三思。“我甚至不建议登机,”她说。“他们非常依恋熟悉的东西,在那里他们感到安全,知道食物充足。所以对猫来说,环境的变化是压力最大的经历之一。”她建议尽可能请宠物保姆,而不是带你的猫去旅行。如果你要搬家呢? “Whenever cats go to a new home, I always suggest that they only have a bathroom to start, because they feel comfort in small, confined spaces,” Johnson says. She advises gradually opening up the rest of the house to your cat once she has made herself at home.
