🐾 Signs of a Happy Pet
A relaxed posture: A calm dog or cat adopts a loose, tension-free posture.
A tail that speaks: In dogs, a wagging tail is a great sign! In cats, a tail raised in a question mark shape often means they are content.
A good appetite: A happy pet eats well and without stress.
Playfulness and interaction: A dog bringing you their toy or a cat seeking playtime and affection shows a sense of well-being.
Peaceful sleep: Relaxed animals sleep deeply, often in funny positions.
Normal vocalization: A cat that purrs or a dog that barks moderately and in appropriate situations expresses emotional balance.
Affection and closeness: A pet that follows you around, licks you, or rubs against you is showing love and happiness.
🚨 Signs of an Unhappy Pet
A change in appetite: A pet eating much less (or much more) may be feeling stressed or sad.
Unusual aggression: Growling, scratching, or biting without reason may indicate distress.
Isolation: If your pet avoids contact, hides, or stops seeking you out, it’s a red flag.
Excessive grooming: A cat that constantly licks itself or a dog that scratches without a medical reason could be anxious.
Destructive behaviors: A dog that chews your shoes or a cat that scratches furniture excessively may be expressing boredom or distress.
Excessive whining or meowing: A cat that won’t stop meowing or a dog that whimpers frequently might be in discomfort or distress.
A tense posture: Ears pulled back, a lowered tail, or a hunched back are all signs of stress or sadness.
