This will help her stay calm, stable and unafraid.<\/p>\n<h3>Know How Much To Feed<\/h3>\n<p>Every cat is unique and must be fed according to her age, activity level and metabolism.

When the tail lies underneath the body while she is lying, it indicates stress.<\/p>\n<h3>Entertain A Bored Cat<\/h3>\n<p>Toys and treats are the best ways to entertain your dull, mood less cat if you are busy with some household chores.
