People will be depressed, so will cats. Although they are relatively independent animals, they also have their own feelings and will also have times of sadness. So what should I do if my cat is depressed? There are several solutions:

1. Accompany more cats

Cats need to accompany them, just like humans. If they find that the cat is depressed, the owner can contact the cat more and have fun with it. Generally, they can use the cat stick to play with the cat every day to divert the cat's attention. In addition, you can also take the cat out to play frequently in your spare time, so that the cat can feel relaxed and slowly recover from its psychological state.

2. Care more for cats

If the cat is depressed, the owner needs to give more care to help the cat get out of the depression. For example, you can often gently caress the cat's head and body at home to soothe its emotions. You can also prepare more delicious cat food and toys that cats like to play with, creating a comfortable environment for the cat and allowing it to relax its vigilance.

3. Never let the cat be frightened

Depressed cats will be extremely sensitive to things and people around you, so at this time, the owner should be careful not to let the cat be frightened, or even bathe it, and do not take other animals home, otherwise the cat's condition will be aggravated.

4. Drug treatment

If the cat is in a serious condition, you need to consult a pet doctor in time and use drugs to relieve anxiety symptoms for the cat under the guidance of the pet doctor. Among these drugs are trazodone, gabapentin, alprazolam, etc.
