Creating the Purrfect Cat Environment

Stress is one of the most powerful experiences to influence mental health and disease - even in your cat! Genetically, your cat is still closely linked to its wild cat ancestors; living with a cat is a lot like caging a tiny tiger. Your cat needs enrichment in its environment that is natural to its species - and without it, stress happens. A stressed cat often has “nuisance behaviors” such as destruction of property, inappropriate litter box usage, and aggression. This episode talks about what kitty needs you to provide to reduce stress. Hint: it’s more than a handful of toys and scratching post!
