Cat stress responses can vary for each cat, so it's difficult to provide an exact time frame. Cats may display various reactions when faced with stress, including running away, hiding, aggressive behavior, vomiting, etc. These reactions are usually temporary and the cat will usually return to normal when the cat is relieved of the stressor or the stressor is relieved.
However, if cats are in a sustained state of extreme stress or are exposed to stressful environments for a long period of time, they may face a range of health problems. Long-term chronic stress can lead to a compromised immune system, digestive problems, behavioral abnormalities, psychological problems, and more. These health problems may gradually worsen and eventually become life-threatening for your cat.
Therefore, it is important to give your cat a safe, stable and stress-free environment and focus on their health and well-being. If you observe persistent stress reactions or other abnormal behavior in your cat, seek veterinary advice as soon as possible for appropriate diagnosis and treatment options.
