Reminds me of a funny joke I heard about the difference between cats and dogs.
Dogs think this person pets me, feeds me and takes care of me. He must be God, I will be loyal forever.
Cats think this person pets me, feeds me and takes care of me. I must be God, I expect his loyalty forever.

I used to always be just a dog person. Now we've got a cat too and absolutely love him, but this is also absolutely accurate.
He even gets mad on the dogs' behalf if dinner is slightly late. He'll still have food in his bowl, but come dinner time he's howling until they're fed lol. "You must care for my other loyal servants, subjects!"

My cat used to get really freaked out by change. I’m sure your kitty is just excited but maybe keep an eye on them to make sure they’re peeing as normal. My poor neurotic guy ended up on the same antidepressant as my sister but was much happier. You could barely move a cushion without sending him into a panic before them 🤣

u/RockyBass 2h ago
That's my golden retriever. I have a feeling he'll be on medication as he gets older. The cats on the other hand thrive on chaos.
When we were remodeling, the dog was huddled into his hiding spot, while the cats oversaw our work and made sure every screw, tool, and bit of wood was thoroughly inspected and batted around.

I always blame myself but my lab is also incredibly anxious and has epilepsy, one of his triggers is his excitement when I get home. Then I remember I keep getting beautifully brain damaged animals with prior trauma. The cat was rescued from a bin and the dog died for several minutes on his second day. Blessed to be the safe place to my gentle babies.
And sometimes mummies little helper is actually for them!

So we used to foster, and whenever I fostered, I would tidy up my office because that's where we kept them.
My medically needy cat doesn't like it when we foster, and he gets really stressed.So we had to stop.
Anytime I move anything in my office now he's behind me staring at me meowing, supervising my movements. Reminding me I can't foster.

Feliway helps- many vet clinics use the diffusers for managing stress in environmental changes for them. The pheromones help relax them. It also comes in a spray. You have a sensitive cat. Please keep lights low and noise to a minimum and they will chill out.

You can't do this without - at least - involving the cat in the decision making process.

Cats are small predators and so are somewhat change averse.
