After being frightened, a cat usually puffs up, runs around, trembles, becomes lethargic, and eats less; if the fright continues it may suffer stress, which lowers immunity and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, or other problems. Therefore, after a scare, give the cat a warm comfortable resting place and do not disturb it while it calms down. If it shows severe stress like vomiting or diarrhea, see a vet promptly..
