5 Gründe, warum Ihre Katze zittert
Katzen können, genau wie Menschen, anfangen zu zittern, um sich warm zu halten. Es könnte jedoch ein Problem vorliegen, wenn Ihre Katze ohne ersichtlichen Grund ständig zu frösteln und zu zittern scheint.
 
1. Hypoglykämie
 
Niedriger Blutzucker oder Hypoglykämie ist eine häufige Ursache für Zittern bei Katzen. Wie bei Menschen tritt dies in der Regel auf, wenn eine Katze einige Zeit nichts gefressen hat. Wenn Sie ihr das Abendessen oder ein Leckerli geben, sollte der Blutzuckerspiegel steigen und das Zittern nachlassen.
 
Ein niedriger Blutzuckerspiegel kann auch auftreten, wenn eine Katze unter Verdauungsproblemen wie Erbrechen, Durchfall oder Verstopfung leidet. Die Katze in einem solchen Fall zum Fressen zu animieren, ist ebenfalls die Lösung.
 
Wenn eine Katze das Futter verweigert, weil sie wählerisch ist oder sich krank fühlt, kann ein Tropfen Honig in ihrem Maul (nicht mehr als ein Esslöffel) den Blutzuckerspiegel schnell anheben und wieder auf ein angemessenes Niveau bringen.

 
2. Hyperthermie
 
Eine Katze mit einer fortgeschrittenen Infektion und hohem Fieber kann aufgrund von „Schüttelfrost“ anfangen zu zittern. Katzenhalter sollten ein Thermometer griffbereit haben, um ihre Katze bei Verdacht auf eine Erkrankung zu messen. Eine Temperatur über 103.5 Grad Fahrenheit weist auf Fieber hin und bedeutet, dass ein Tierarztbesuch ansteht.
 
 
3. Hypothermie
 
So wie eine erhöhte Körpertemperatur bei einer Katze Zittern verursachen kann, kann auch eine zu niedrige Körpertemperatur zu Frösteln führen. Gesunde erwachsene Katzen können ihre normale Körpertemperatur meist selbst regulieren, doch junge und alte Katzen haben damit möglicherweise Schwierigkeiten. Warme Decken und Heizkissen bei kaltem Wetter können gefährdeten Katzen helfen, es gemütlich warm zu haben.

 
4. Schmerzen
 
Katzen zeigen selten offen, wenn sie Schmerzen haben – doch Zittern kann ein Zeichen dafür sein, dass sie aufgrund einer Verletzung oder Krankheit leiden. Wenn Sie vermuten, dass dies der Fall sein könnte, bringen Sie Ihre Katze umgehend zur tierärztlichen Behandlung.

 
5. Stress
 
Eine gestresste oder ängstliche Katze kann durch einen nervösen Ausbruch unkontrolliert zu zittern beginnen. Katzen sind sensible Tiere, und es kann schwierig sein herauszufinden, was sie genau belastet. Veränderungen in ihrer Umgebung können, ganz gleich wie harmlos sie uns erscheinen, bei Katzen, die von Vorhersehbarkeit profitieren, Stress auslösen. Neue Möbel, der Anblick einer anderen Katze, die durch die Nachbarschaft streift und die sie aus dem Fenster sehen kann, oder Geräusche von der Baustelle nebenan – all das kann eine Katze unglücklich machen und sie vor Stress zittern lassen.
 
Wenn Sie den Gegenstand entfernen können, der Ihre Katze beunruhigt, versuchen Sie dies. Handelt es sich um etwas wie ein neues Sofa, an dem Sie hängen, oder um etwas außerhalb Ihrer Kontrolle, wie Lärm aus der Nachbarschaft, bieten Sie Ihrer Katze andere beruhigende Dinge an, damit sie sich an die Veränderungen gewöhnen kann, die sie belasten. Zusätzliche Kuschelhöhlen und erhöhte Liegeplätze im Haus eignen sich hervorragend, um Stress bei Katzen zu lindern, da sie sich von Natur aus sicherer fühlen, wenn sie erhöht sitzen oder sich in einem dunklen Bereich fern von „Gefahr“ verstecken können.
 
Wie immer empfehlen wir, zunächst einen Tierarzt zu konsultieren, um ernsthafte Grunderkrankungen auszuschließen und sicherzustellen, dass Ihr Haustier die optimale Behandlung für sein Problem erhält.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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?
