- Create a quiet, comfortable space for her to rest.
- Ensure she has easy access to fresh water and a clean litter box.
- Spend quality time gently petting or speaking softly to her.
In times like these, providing a soothing and quiet environment can help your cat feel more at peace. Dimming lights and reducing noises can create a comforting atmosphere. Making sure her necessities like food and water are easily accessible is important, as is offering gentle affection to reassure her without overwhelming her. Your presence can be incredibly comforting.
