This is a real case. A few days ago, Aimao Jun saw a post on the post bar. The content of the post was:
A cat shoveler said that it was his first time raising a cat without experience. After the cat was vaccinated, the cat was at home for several days. He should take it out for breath, so he took the cat out like walking a dog.
He tied a leash to the cat and took it out. He just felt that the cat was reluctant to go out, and kept lying on the ground and crawling with hair all over his body and his ears were posing in the airplane ears, but he didn't expect that the cat would die suddenly.
The shoveler said that when he was walking the cat for about half an hour, the cat suddenly twitched all over and foamed at the mouth. At that time, he happened to walk the cat through a park where he walked the dog. He didn't know the reason, but after taking the cat to the pet hospital, he learned that the cat had a strong stress reaction and died suddenly.
In other words, the cat was scared to death!
Alas, this is not the first time someone has walked a cat, but a cat has a stress reaction and dies suddenly...
Ai Cat Jun also saw such a tragedy online before: What is a stress reaction? Why does stress response kill cats? Today, let’s learn about raising cats more scientifically! What is the

stress response?
Due to the penetration of short videos into life, many popular cats are related to dancing, teasing, and playing...
This has led many parents to ignore their cat's personality habits and blindly follow the trend and imitate them, and the consequences are often unsatisfactory...
For example: "Tight Hoop" game
Behind these people-oriented games, cats have pain that cannot be said, and those who react too much may even suffer from cats' lives.
Because you frightened the cat, it affected its normal movement rules, disrupted its psychological state, and caused the cat to "stress reaction".
In recent decades, many medical studies have emphasized the impact of stress response on human health.
Similarly, in the feline field, the impact of stress response on cat health should not be ignored. The definition of stress response is: a state where predictability and controllability are damaged. For example, a stress response is equivalent to filling water beyond the cup capacity, or allowing a plastic cup to receive hot water.
Cat parents are certainly familiar with the word stress response, but we still find it difficult to control it because cats have complex and "unhuman" stressors, and human habitual behavior and thinking methods are very different from those of cats.
We are used to using "human standards" to evaluate cats' mood, rather than from the cat's perspective.
The cat grinned and stuck out its tongue. It was "smiling and happy" in people's eyes. It even felt so cute that it was explosive and did not realize it at all. At this time, the cat was very scared, which was a serious stress reaction. Let me give you two examples:
A. Yawning with your eyes open.
Cats may yawn after being scolded after doing bad things, but in humans, they look "impatient, I am very arrogant". In fact, in addition to being sleepy, cats will yawn to relieve stress. Similar to the movement of human scratching their heads, it does not take you seriously. On the contrary, it is very uneasy in its heart
B. The whole body is stiff, the eyes are wide, and the ears are drooping
This is the cat who perceives danger and feels fearful. Unfortunately, their round eyes will make humans feel cute. If it keeps this state for a long time, it means it feels that it has been in danger.
