😾 Why Is My Cat Mean?

Has your normally sweet cat started acting “mean” lately - growling, swatting, or hissing out of nowhere? 🐈‍⬛
It might look like aggression, but it’s really communication. Cats don’t act out for no reason - they’re telling us something’s wrong.

➡️ It could be caused by pain, fear, a sudden change in routine, or another pet getting too close.
➡️ Sometimes, what we see as “meanness” is actually your cat trying to protect themselves or their space.

Instead of punishing or getting upset, you need to understand what’s behind the behavior. Please reach out to our resident cat behaviorist, Linda Hall. She can help uncover the root of the issue and bring peace back to your home. 💛

Helpful tips to recognize pain.

Recognising signs of pain in dogs is crucial, as they often mask discomfort. Common indicators include changes in behaviour, such as increased irritability, withdrawal, or reduced activity.

Physical signs include limping, stiffness, trembling, or difficulty standing up or lying down.

Dogs in pain may vocalise through whining, yelping, or growling. They might also exhibit changes in appetite or drinking habits, excessive licking or biting at a specific area, and altered breathing patterns, like panting.

Subtle signs include pinned-back ears, squinting eyes, or a lowered tail. Observing these signs and seeking veterinary attention promptly ensures your dog’s comfort and well-being.

Remember that over the holidays.

Striving to Keep NM Pets Thriving

Long Leash On Life is a health food and supply store for dogs and cats. Our mission is to improve the quality of cats' and dogs' lives through proper nutrition, positive training and a lifetime of meaningful enrichment, with a special focus on local rescue pets.

We are dedicated to helping pet parents do the absolute best they can to enhance their pets’ overall well-being. Our products are carefully selected based on meeting our high standards as well as their performance. We also pride ourselves in specialized customer service, where both you and your pets are genuinely treated like a part of our family.

Community support has always been another priority for Long Leash On Life. Throughout our fourteen years in business, we have supported many fine animal welfare organizations, such as Animal Humane New Mexico, Paws and Stripes, and Albuquerque Animal Welfare, to name a few.

Perhaps the most rewarding recipients are those in greatest need; the small local rescue groups and rural shelters. Our 2017-2019 donations of pet food tallied well over 400,000 pounds given to nearly 50 animal welfare organizations. This allowed many of these dedicated groups to afford spay and neuter costs, which helps control pet overpopulation, and ultimately reduces pet euthanasia in our Land of Enchantment.
