고양이가 떨고 있는 5가지 이유
고양이도 사람처럼 몸을 따뜻하게 유지하기 위해 떨 수 있습니다. 하지만 특별한 이유 없이 고양이가 계속 몸을 떨고 전율하는 것처럼 보인다면 문제가 있을 수 있습니다.
 
1. 저혈당
 
혈당 저하, 즉 저혈당은 고양이가 떠는 흔한 원인입니다. 사람과 마찬가지로 고양이가 한동안 먹지 않았을 때 주로 발생합니다. 저녁 식사나 간식을 먹이면 혈당 수치가 올라가고 떨림도 멈출 수 있습니다.
 
낮은 혈당 수치는 고양이가 구토, 설사 또는 변비 같은 소화기 문제를 겪을 때도 나타날 수 있습니다. 이 경우에도 고양이가 먹도록 유도하는 것이 해결책입니다.
 
까다로운 입맛 때문이거나 몸이 아파서 고양이가 먹기를 거부한다면, 입안에 꿀을 한 방울(한 스푼 이하) 넣어 주면 혈당 수치를 빠르게 높여 적정 수준으로 회복시키는 데 도움이 될 수 있습니다.

 
2. 고체온증
 
심한 감염으로 고열을 앓는 고양이는 ‘오한’ 때문에 떨기 시작할 수 있습니다. 고양이 보호자는 질병이 의심될 때 체온을 확인할 수 있도록 체온계를 구비해 두는 것이 좋습니다. 체온이 화씨 103.5도 이상이면 열이 있다는 뜻이며, 동물병원에 방문해야 합니다.
 
 
3. 저체온증
 
체온이 높아지면 고양이가 떨 수 있는 것처럼, 체온이 낮아져도 몸을 떤다는 증상이 나타날 수 있습니다. 건강한 성묘는 일반적으로 정상 체온을 스스로 조절할 수 있지만, 어린 고양이와 노령 고양이는 어려움을 겪을 수 있습니다. 추운 날씨에는 따뜻한 담요와 온열 패드가 취약한 고양이가 포근하게 지내는 데 도움이 됩니다.

 
4. 통증
 
고양이는 통증을 느낄 때 이를 겉으로 잘 드러내지 않지만 – 떨림은 부상이나 질병으로 고통받고 있다는 신호일 수 있습니다. 이런 경우가 의심된다면 즉시 고양이를 데리고 진료를 받으세요.

 
5. 스트레스
 
스트레스나 불안을 느끼는 고양이는 신경이 예민해지면서 통제할 수 없이 떨기 시작할 수 있습니다. 고양이는 민감한 동물이어서 정확히 무엇이 고양이를 괴롭히는지 알아내기 어려울 수 있습니다. 우리에게는 아무렇지 않아 보이는 환경의 변화도 예측 가능한 일상을 좋아하는 고양이에게는 불안을 유발할 수 있습니다. 새 가구, 창밖으로 보이는 동네를 어슬렁거리는 다른 고양이, 옆 건설 현장에서 들리는 소리 등은 모두 고양이를 불편하게 하고 불안으로 떨게 할 수 있습니다.
 
고양이를 불안하게 하는 원인을 없앨 수 있다면 그렇게 해보세요. 아끼는 새 소파처럼 없애기 어렵거나 동네 소음처럼 통제할 수 없는 원인이라면, 고양이가 불편한 변화에 적응하도록 도와줄 다른 안정감을 주는 물건을 제공해 보세요. 집 안에 숨을 수 있는 침대를 더 마련하고 올라가 앉을 수 있는 공간을 만들어 주면 고양이의 스트레스 완화에 큰 도움이 됩니다. 고양이는 높은 곳에 있거나 ‘위험’에서 벗어난 어두운 공간에 숨을 수 있을 때 본능적으로 더 안전하다고 느끼기 때문입니다.
 
언제나 그렇듯, 반려동물이 문제에 맞는 최선의 치료를 받을 수 있도록 먼저 수의사와 상담하여 심각한 기저 질환이 없는지 확인하시기를 권장합니다.

    Hi. I have a cat called bubbles. He is 11 yrs old. For the last 6 months. I have notice he shakes even when holding him. It feels like a nerve shaking. My daughter also bought home two other cats. They dont seem to get along. So I tried for the two females to keep outside. While outside I bring my male Bubbles in. Or other way round. I love them all and I am a cat lover. I give them all unconditional love. But Bubbles is my no1. And he worries me, because lile I said. Concerned abouy his shaking. Then 3 weeks ago. He just ate then saw the other cat and it felt like he was joking and had like a fit. It looked like he was joking with his food. He has done thay twice. I am in the pension and going through hardship. If I am able to have the money will yake him to vet. But at the time I really need help as I am worried if he having heart attack. Please help me. Thank you Erika

    Everyone should look into the docu-series truth about pet cancer. Commercial pet food is poison to animals. 50 years ago 1 in 100 dogs got cancer. today it is 1 in 1.65. Cats is 1 in 3 get cancer. Raw feeding just like they would in nature is what you want to do to prevent your pet from cancer.

    My cat Meeko is a 8 year old female, and every time a thunder storm brews she walks slower and lower to the ground and when I feel her she shakes almost like she is shivering. Is she cold? Is she afraid? Is she nervous? Let me know if you have the same problem or something similar.

    O meu gato após eu me mudar de cidade só vive em baixo da cama so sai para comer beber e fazer necessidades.
    Ou em vima do armário e geladeira,más esses dias está com uma tremedeira.

    my boy cat, which is about 10-11 months I believe has been quite constipated for the last week or so and is quite as expected afraid to go due to the pain (he has been flushed, which he still hasn’t gone obviously) but he’s started shaking with it, I don’t know if the shaking is due to him stressing himself out or due to the pain or just simply being cold since he mostly shakes when he’s laying down when he does it and just naturally meows/hisses in pain when being moved

  13. Meg

    If your cat is constipated, try adding water to his food, or goat milk, or even that grass for cats. It helps with digesting and pushing good out.

  14. narai sheikh

    My 5 year old male is sick for the last 5 days, the middle and lower portion of his body is trembling, he has become very inactive, sleeps under the quilt the whole day and running around only while his body is trembling.

  17. TeriS

    Persian 15 + and had arthritis and nasal carsonoma. Decided it was time to avoid further suffering before injections and after the cafeter was placed in leg.. she was shivering.. room was extremely cold with AC.. so I wrapped the blanked around her and she just seemed to relax. and went peacefully.. wondered why she would shiver would if be fear?

    My cat giving some sound that i didn't understand what the sound exactly means.

  19. Isabelle Lugg

    That sounds bad all of them do

  20. Jen

    If your cat is shivering, shaking, acting abnormal, not eating, constipated, coughing, hiding, chewing himself raw, etc for more than a day or two STOP ASKING THE INTERNET AND TAKE HIM/HER TO THE VET. If your child was doing this, would you be sitting in your butt asking random people with no qualifications questions?

  21. Annie Kenigsberg

    I just washed my kittens and I have put them in towels warming them up and they are shacking and meowing

  22. Kelly

    Most likely the kittens are traumatized by thier bath and are both scared and cold. I’m sure once they warmed up and realized no harm was done they went back to being themselves

  23. Krastol

    I know this is old, but at one month old I'd their eyes are not clear then they should still be on kitten replacement milk.

  24. Summer

  27. Dani

    My 4 year old cat Benny always has been very social with people and my other cat, but when he sleeps or even just relaxes next to me he seems to have tension shivers. I notice it especially when he purrs but I don’t know why. He’s fine always and shows no signs of being sick. Is this familiar to anyone?

  28. Nue

    Hi. I'm aware it has been 1 year since you commented this, but I'd like to point out that yes, I'm familiar with the situation you described. I have no idea why your cat does that and I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my own cat too.

    Have you found out why, yet? Is your kitty okay now? I'm hoping you found something and maybe could give me some help for my furry friend as he also shivers the same way you mentioned.

    My 7th month old kitten is shaking and meowing and growling.
    He’s been to the vet’s because what he recently ate.
    But they gave him a shot to help him feel better.
    His nose looks like it was bleeding a little bit.
    He started shaking,meowing and growling out of the blue.
    He was fine a half hour ago I don’t know what’s wrong.
    Is there anything it might be?
