Understanding Feline Overstimulation
Cats are sensitive creatures, and overstimulation can occur when they experience too much sensory input at once. Common signs include dilated pupils, twitching tails, and sudden aggression. These behaviors indicate your cat may feel overwhelmed and needs a moment to calm down.
To help your feline friend, create a quiet, safe space where they can retreat. Limit loud noises and sudden movements, and avoid prolonged petting sessions. Observing your cat’s body language is key to understanding their limits. With patience and care, you can ensure your cat feels secure and relaxed in their environment.
