When a cat experiences significant changes in their life, they can develop signs consistent with depression. Although they can’t tell us how they are feeling, we can make some assumptions based on their behavior. Common causes of depression include the loss of a companion, loss of mobility and independence, illness, and boredom.

If you have seen a video of a cat get spooked by a cucumber or go mad when they touch a piece of aluminum foil, you might get the impression they are not the most intelligent animals. This is far from the truth. Cats are very intelligent, exhibiting important signs of intelligence such as keen observation, problem solving and complex social behaviors. Not all cats are as intelligent as each other, but some breeds are considered smarter than others. It is not the most important factor, but some cat breeds have better memory, trainability and problem-solving abilities.
