Cats are absolute masters of disguise. Because they are both predators and prey in the wild, hiding their vulnerability is a deeply ingrained survival instinct. 🐈‍⬛

But when stress builds up, it starts to show up in their daily behaviour and physical health.

If your cat is suddenly overgrooming, hiding under the bed all day, or their bathroom habits have changed, it is time to pay close attention. Litter box issues in particular (like straining or crying in the box) can escalate into a life-threatening medical emergency.

Stress isn't just "in their head"- it causes physical illness like gut flare-ups and severe bladder inflammation.

Have you noticed a shift in your cat's baseline behaviour? Let’s rule out the medical causes and get them back to their relaxed selves. 💛

We put Dr Ulandi in the hot seat and asked her top breeds. Here is her list:

Her top picks:
🐾Domestic Shorthair Cats: She has two of her own and they are full of personality. They chat to her when they want their food and also enjoy going on walks.
🐾 Labradors: The biggest balls of love going. Eternal puppies no matter how old they get.
🐾 Toy Pomeranians: A surprise entry! Dr Ulandi never thought a small breed would make her list, until she adopted one. He has completely stolen her heart and makes her smile every single day!

Clearly the best pets come in all shapes and sizes. What's your favourite breed? Let us know below!
