It's concerning when a usually active cat suddenly becomes quiet and less mobile after getting stuck, as this can be a sign of potential injury or distress.
- Watch for signs of pain or discomfort
- Monitor her mobility and behavior
- Consider a vet visit if behavior doesn’t improve
It's possible that your cat might be feeling sore or has a minor injury from being squished under the chair. Cats often hide signs of pain, so if you notice any limping, reluctance to move, or other unusual behaviors persisting, it's wise to consult a vet. A professional can perform a thorough check-up to ensure she's okay.
