Expert Answer

Cat shivering can have different causes, including cold stimulation, fear, anxiety, and pain. If the shivering is from cold, the owner should warm the cat promptly by moving it somewhere warm or wrapping it in a blanket.

If the shivering comes from tension or fear, calm the cat and distract its attention. If the shivering is due to pain, identify the painful area and cause and relieve it.
