Cat acting different out of nowhere

Hello there!

It sounds like you're feeling concerned about your feline friend, and I’m here to help. When a cat suddenly changes its behavior, it’s often trying to tell us something. Common reasons might include stress, environmental changes, or a health issue. Has anything changed at home, like new furniture or guests visiting? Even something small could be significant to a cat.

Health-wise, pain or illness can cause changes in behavior. Keep an eye on your cat’s eating habits, litter box use, and activity levels. If they're hiding more, being unusually vocal or quiet, or not showing interest in play or food, these could be red flags.

At home, ensure your cat has a calm and safe space to relax. Keep feeding and play routines consistent to provide reassurance. If your kitty seems stressed, a little extra attention or quiet cuddle time could be comforting.

Be observant for signs that might require urgent attention, like difficulty breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of pain, such as limping or excessive grooming. These indicate it's time to see a vet promptly.

If your cat's behavior doesn’t improve, or if you notice any of those worrying signs, setting up a video consult through Dial A Vet might be a great next step. We're here to help figure things out together!
