According to Joe Alcorn, veterinarian at Care Animal Hospital in Temecula, California, quoted from Insider that, a pet that is feeling lonely will follow its owner all the time at home or be noisy and whine not wanting to be separated.
If Beauties’s usual pet isn’t like that, then be like that. Invite him to play with his favorite toy or accompany him while stroking his body.
2. Suddenly Become Spoiled

This sign can be more noticeable in pets who aren’t usually spoiled. Quoting from the site Oakland Veterinarythe animal that suddenly approaches and clings continues to be an indication that he is lonely.
It needs more attention from its owner. If this is the case, please take the time and pay attention to the pet. Don’t let it just go away.
3. Decreased or Increased Appetite

Suddenly the pet becomes naughty and often breaks things in the house? Quote from Great Pet Care, that a lonely dog can become a ‘riot’, such as tearing up sofas and chewing pillows. However, it’s not just dogs. Because, if you are lonely, cats are more likely to make noise and hit things to ruffle the house.
If you have a pet, try to always pay attention to it so you don’t feel lonely and lead to stress. Treat pets like family!
