Hello there! I'm glad you reached out. Head pressing or burrowing in cats can be a bit concerning, so let's explore what's happening. Cats may press their head against a wall or object due to a few reasons. On a less worrisome note, your cat could simply be feeling snug or exploring their surroundings in their quirky feline way. However, it's important to know that head pressing can also signal underlying medical issues.
Causes may include hypertension (high blood pressure), liver issues, neurological problems, or toxic ingestion. If your cat is indeed head pressing, it's crucial to observe any changes in behavior, such as disorientation, reduced appetite, vision changes, or seizures.
At home, ensure your kitty has a safe, calm environment free from stressors with water and a litter box available. Monitor them closely, and try to gently redirect their head if you see them pressing consistently.
If you notice worsening symptoms or if head pressing continues, it’s best to consult a vet promptly, as some underlying causes can be serious or require treatment. Consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can delve deeper into what might be going on and get your furry friend feeling better as soon as possible. Take care!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
