Cats sometimes experience stress after changes to their routine, such as a trip to the groomer. However, lethargy and unsteadiness might also point to dehydration or an allergic reaction to grooming products. If your cat shows no improvement or if additional symptoms develop, it’s crucial to consult with a vet to rule out any underlying health issues.
