Cats Can Feel Jealous: Understanding Feline醋Feelings

Cats Jealousy: Signs and Symptoms

1. Unhappy Glances

Cats' eyes are a window into their emotions. Normally, they gaze at their owners with a tender affection. However, when their eyes lose that warmth and instead carry a hint of discontent, it's a clear sign that your feline friend is feeling jealous. This change in behavior is a direct result of their jealousy.

Should your cat feel that you've crossed a line, they might even glare at you fiercely.

2. A Sense of Defeat

When cats are jealous, they can act very much like women, retreating to a small corner to sulk in silence. If you try to comfort them, they may become even more despondent.

3. Loss of Appetite

Cats are usually eager to pounce on food, but when they're feeling jealous, their interest in eating plummets. Even if you offer them their favorite treats, they may eat very little. Of course, this doesn't apply if they're unwell.

4. Running Away

When a cat senses that you've brought another pet into the home, they can become extremely angry and jealous. If you don't comfort them, they might actually leave home, and many cats are not good at finding their way back. Once they're gone, they may never return.

5. Temper Tantrums

Some cats may simply vocalize their jealousy, but others with a particularly fiery temperament can become quite暴躁 when they feel left out. It's important to remember that cats can and do get angry and jealous, and those that hold a grudge may take out their frustrations on you later. This behavior, though, is actually a sign of their affection for you.

Tip: Don't assume that cats don't get angry or jealous. Especially those who are prone to holding grudges, they will remember and retaliate when they feel jealous. It's all part of their complex emotional world and a testament to their love for you.
