Sharing some of the reasons a cat might display a little Jekyll and Hyde behavior, Pam Johnson-Bennett, CCBC, says to rule out pain or illness before assuming this is merely a behavior issue. She says to figure out the cause of the cat’s change in mood and don’t just label the cat as grumpy, moody or irritable.
Don’t overlook pain or illness as a reason for a behavior change. A veterinary visit is needed to make sure there isn’t an underlying medical issue and to make sure there hasn’t been an injury.” – Pam Johnson-Bennett, CCBC
