Okay, this may seem like an odd question. However, my "older" cat is 1 year old and is very skiddish. If you walk past her when she's not expecting it she gets very scared. She is also a bit scared of our kitten. They get along okay, but sometimes he sneaks up behind her and pounces on her. The kitten thinks this is big fun. Our older cat gets petrified and hides. This usually happens about twice a day. We keep the kitten in a closed off room at night so our older cat can have a few hours of trusted peace.
The older cat is very healthy, is not obese and I have no reason to think that she would have a heart attack now. But could all of the stress she's around cause her problems down the road? Am I shortening her life span by allowing stressful situations (as much as I try to prevent them)? Is there something I can do to calm her (other than the Comfort-Zone plug in?
