5. Stress Relief

Cats are often quite sensitive animals. They tend not to react well to loud noises and moving to a new home can be quite a harrowing experience for them. In some cases, and depending on the situation, it might be necessary to have them sedated to help keep them calm.

Cats also come with their own stress relief system: purring. Purring to themselves can help to keep them calm in stressful situations, while it can also help to keep other cats around them calm. It doesn’t work on cats only because a purring cat can also have a calming effect on people.
