Disturbing things while putting cat to sleep

Hello there! It's completely understandable to feel concerned when your cat seems unsettled while going to sleep. Cats can become restless or disturbed for a number of reasons. It might be as simple as a change in their environment, like a new noise or different sleeping spot, which can make them feel uneasy. Cats are creatures of habit and any disruption to their routine can throw them off a bit.



Another reason could be discomfort or pain. If your cat is older, they might be experiencing joint pain or arthritis, which can make finding a comfortable position difficult. Stress or anxiety, possibly from a recent change, can also lead to restlessness.



For at-home care, try to maintain a consistent bedtime routine and ensure that your cat has a cozy, quiet sleeping area. Calming pheromone diffusers might also help to create a more serene environment.



Keep an eye out for signs such as excessive grooming, decrease in appetite, hiding, or vocalizing more than usual - these could indicate a more serious problem like pain or an underlying health issue.



If your cat's behavior doesn't improve or you notice any of these concerning signs, I'd recommend booking a video consult with a Dial A Vet professional. They can provide reassurance and guide you based on your cat's specific needs.
