Natural Help for Stress Reduction, Anxiety Relief, Behavioral Problems, and Aggression in Cats
Humans talk, whereas cats meow. Somewhere along the way, things are bound to be lost in translation, right? Communicating with your kitty is a great way to develop a stronger bond with your little one. But it goes beyond that. Understanding what your kitty is trying to tell you gives you an insight into their overall well-being and how you can help them live their best life.
Cats communicate in various ways, including body language, scent marking, and vocalizations. One of the most common sounds cats use to communicate with their human parents is meowing. Cats meow in response to several triggers! This well-known sound can mean a lot of things, from a request for attention or food to a sign of frustration, anxiety, or discomfort.
Understanding what your kitty is trying to tell you gives you an insight into their overall well-being.
With such a variety of meanings, how can you interpret your cat’s meow? Paying attention to your cat’s body language can help you better understand what they’re trying to say. The position of their tail and ears says a lot. What are they meowing at? And how often does this happen? For example, if you’ve noticed that your kitty usually meows at around mealtime every day, you know that’s a call for food.
The type of meow can also help you pinpoint the emotional response of your kitty. If your cat is making a series of short meows, they are most likely asking for attention or food. On the other hand, a long, drawn-out meow may indicate frustration, anxiety, or discomfort.
If your little one is meowing more than usual, consider investigating the root cause with your trusted veterinarian. Any changes to our pets’ behavior could be a sign that something is wrong.
How you respond to your furkiddo is just as important as understanding what they are trying to tell you. Reacting to signs of affection with positive reinforcement and love can help strengthen the bond between you and your little one. Some of these sounds are usually a good indication of your little one’s mood:
In the same way that you should react positively to sounds that show their happiness, approach your cat with patience, understanding, and compassion when they’re exhibiting signs of distress. Avoid punishing or scolding them, as this can worsen the situation and damage your relationship with your kitty. Instead, provide them with the support and care they need to feel safe and comfortable. If you hear any of these sounds, consider talking to your vet to help identify the underlying cause:
In cases of stress signals like different-sounding cats meow, aggressive hissing, or stress yowl, natural calming supplements can help. NHV’s holistic vet and master herbalist formulated NHV Matricalm specifically for kitties dealing with stress. You can also add NHV Lesstress to your little one’s regimen for those with excessive anxiety and aggressive behavior. These two supplements can help your cat to keep calm and relaxed naturally.
At NHV, our pet experts can help you understand what your feline kiddo is trying to tell you and recommend natural ways to help. Press the button below to chat with someone on our team. We are happy to help!

Natural Dog Stress Reliever Supplemental Support
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.
