    With owners no longer going to the office and children learning from home, cats don’t have the seven or eight hours of peace and quiet to act as a “circuit breaker”.

    The stress of having to share a space with humans round-the-clock has led to an increase in life-threatening in the last 18 months.

    Vets have reported an uptick in blocked bladders in male cats and cystitis in female cats.

    A spokeswoman told The Times: “It would appear that some cats may have become more stressed in their home during the pandemic.

    “Changes to a cat’s routine always have the potential to cause stress, as they are creatures of habit.”

    “As well as this, ‘safe’ or ‘quiet’ places that a cat could have escaped to in the home previously may have been repurposed as a home office, so the cat no longer has a quiet place.”

    To help fight against the pressures of adjusting to the new routines, Cats Protection has suggested creating moggie-friendly safe spaces.
