Back at the pet rescue home, Fern has some free time and she wants to spend it with her two new arrivals. Her mind goes blank and she can’t remember the different steps on how to help a cat with separation anxiety. She searches for her notes but can’t find them either. So, Googling here comes Fern!
That’s it! Fern has found the information that she needs. Time to put it into action!
Let’s continue with the next part – Cat puzzle feeders
• Create a Routine - Kittens benefit from routines just as much as their pet parents do. If you leave and return at the same time every day, this can help your kitten adjust to the changes they’re experiencing and reduce their separation anxiety.
• Make Time for Play and Exercise - Schedule designated times to play with your kitten each day.
• Turn on Some Music - Deciding to leave on the TV or radio for your kitten when you leave the house is a great choice. Whether you decide to play music, put on a TV show or even play an audiobook, this can help give your kitten some engagement and distraction. In addition, hearing a human voice can make her feel less alone.
• Try Stimulating Puzzles and Games - Puzzle feeders are a great way to reduce anxiety and keep your kitten mentally stimulated. Pour half of her recommended daily amount of food into the puzzle feeder each morning and then refill each evening. This will keep your kitten busy throughout the day and can help ease feelings of anxiety.
• Remain Calm and Confident - You’re the pack leader so your kitten is likely to follow your lead. If you take a long time to say goodbye to your kitten before you leave for the day, you’re likely to spur those feelings of separation anxiety in her. Instead, keep your goodbyes short and sweet. If you can’t resist a longer goodbye, say goodbye with lots of petting and praise about 10 to 20 minutes before you leave. Then, you can leave without feeling guilty! (Info from here)
