It's important to understand that some cats can experience separation anxiety when left alone for long periods. These cats may show signs of distress such as excessive vocalization, inappropriate elimination, destructive behavior, and excessive self-grooming. If your cat exhibits these behaviors, there are several things you can do to help alleviate their anxiety.
If your cat continues to exhibit signs of separation anxiety despite these interventions, it may be helpful to consult with a veterinarian or animal behaviorist for further advice and support.
