Intense day of editing a big document and then a wasted afternoon taking this twat to the vet because he freaked out without me there in the examination room. The doc could not examine him. He tried to bite her! She has been his vet for most of his life. He’ll have to get sedated next time. Useless fur bag! #catsofinstagram #nope #nervouscats (at Lochend, City of Edinburgh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPYw6ZxjKcX/?utm_medium=tumblr

Many kitties become scared when company comes over 🧡. To help alleviate this, create a cozy “safe room” for your cat with soft music, hidey beds, favorite toys, and food, water, and litter. Spend some quality time with your kitty in there before and after people come over. They may eventually start to enjoy visitors! 🧡😺🧡 . . . . #catcollege #catbehaviortips #shycats #nervouscats #helpyourcat #catsofinstagram #orangecatsofinstagram

When cats move to a new environment, they become stressed and their cortisol (a stress hormone) rises, causing a change in behavior. It takes about 3 days for the cortisol levels to return to normal. Please be patient with new kitties, and remember that it takes at least 3 days to see what a cat's personality may be like, and at least 2 weeks for them to feel comfortable. 😻💕 . . . . . . #catbehavior #shycats #nervouscats #stressedcats #catcollege #catlover #cutekittens #catsofinstagram #catbehaviorhelp (at Los Angeles, California)
