When are the major cats considered?

While the average life of our feline friends is 13 to 17 years, many can live up to 20 years or more. With such a long life, ensuring that their cats receive adequate attention for each stage of their lives is essential, especially when they enter their older years.
According to the American Association of Feline Practices (AAFP), cats are considered older people after they turn 10 years. Many veterinarians, however, can start treating cats as older people at the age of seven, thus increasing the kitty welfare exams of each year every year to every six months.
Some of the health conditions that major cats can develop include:
Cancer: Intestinal, breast and oral cancers are more common in the elderly.
Cognitive dysfunction syndrome: 80% of cats suffer from cognitive dysfunction syndrome at 15 years of age and older. The revealing signs include disorientation, having accidents at home, hiding, poor cleaning, sleeping more than usual and vocalizing, particularly at night.
Dental disease: 80% of cats over five suffer from dental disease. The daily toothbrush in the home, along with the annual dental cleaning in the veterinarian, can help keep the teeth and gums of your healthy cat and fresh breath.
Diabetes: Extremely common in major cats, especially those overweight, makes a program of concerted weight control on its part to prevent this disease and its innumerable complications.
Hyperthyroidism: the increase in appetite, weight loss and vocalization are classic characteristics of feline hyperthyroidism.
Inflammatory intestinal disease: diarrhea, vomiting and weight loss are three of the typical symptoms of IBD in medium -age and age cats for older people.
Kidney disease: 20% of all cats suffer from kidney disease. The symptoms of this condition can be subtle or open and include greater drink, lack of appetite, larger urine groups in the sandbox of its kitten and a slight weight loss.
Osteoarthritis: more than 90% of 10 -year -old cats and arthritis older, an articular degenerative disease.
Ensure that the older years of his Gatito-Eecious of Purr are truly “golden” begin with consistent and considered care in the home.
Since older cats are sometimes forgotten from eating and drinking or finding it difficult to climb and lower the stairs in a house, make sure your kitten always have easy access to fresh food and water. As for the sandboxes: keep one on each floor, although the low and low sand trays will be easier for their joints.
All cats love warm places, especially older people. Consider keeping yours comfortable by providing a heating pad or a cat bed with heating.
To maintain it, and feeling, its best with the least amount of effort on your part, the boyfriend and brushing every few days.
Because superior cats should receive a specific diet for older people to meet their unique needs, most veterinarians recommend the transition to a diet for older people for when they are seven years old. When it comes to choosing between free sale diets and prescription diets, dry croquettes and canned food, consult your veterinarian who knows your cat better and make this important decision, based in part on your health and weight, together.
Buy a high quality scale (one that precisely weighs an ounce or less) to monitor its weight, which allows you to obtain any sudden weight loss early and easily.
As mentioned above, bring your beloved senior kitten to the veterinarian every six months for a basic well -being exam that includes a complete blood count (CBC), biochemistry profile, urine analysis, thyroid hormone tests and blood pressure evaluation.
Among these visits, observe it closely for any physical or behavior change, taking note of them and contact their trusted veterinarian to obtain guidance.

That little tail twitch means more than you think

Published

on


Have you ever noticed that your cat rested quietly, half -closed eyes, hidden legs) and then wears the tip of its tail … Twitching?

That subtle movie is not random. A tail -tip contraction, especially when a cat seems relaxed, often means that they are alert and processing something, such as a sound, an aroma or even its touch. It can also be a quiet sign that they are reaching their taller limit.

It is one of those classic feline contradictions: they look totally refrigerated, but under the surface, they are tuned.

Each cat is different, of course, but once you begin to notice this small sign, you can find that it is one of the clearest windows in your mood.

Jump to the coonie clan, Where we are analyzing more deeply what the movie of the tip of the tail can tell you about mood, consciousness and even sleep cycles!

Why cats prepare you! – North Toronto cat rescue

Does your favorite feline favor you with copious licks throughout the day?

Have you ever wondered if this form of preparation is normal?

According to several veterinary and behavioral experts, this beautiful and peculiar behavior is, in fact, quite normal and has offered the following explanations for it.

Your cat is preparing you because she wants, literally, clean you. When he prepares you, he is expressing his affection for you and trusts you, and communicating that he considers your family. What could be more rewarding than feeling that soft and thorny tongue on your skin, surely knowing that you are the lucky receiver of your kitten’s love care?

Your cat is preparing you as a way to “claim.” It is quite similar to your endearing habit of constantly rubbing against you. Since all cats mark their territory through the aroma glands located in their saliva, when preparing their parents with their languages, they do so to reinforce the special link they have with them.

Your cat is preparing you because you want attention. Far from subtle, when his cat licks, licks, he licks you, this is clearly his way of letting him know that his complete and undivided attention is necessary, or rather demanded, at the same time.

Your cat is preparing you because he likes the way you know and/or smell. Recognized for their sharp sense of smell and endless curiosity, cats can enjoy the salty flavor of their owners’ skin or the aroma of their perfume, shampoo or soap. However, if your own kitten begins to prepare it after having applied products such as insect repellent, sunscreen or a topical medication, offer you a gift from lamelible cat. Because? These products are harmful if they are ingested, and the gift will be distracted and satisfied.

Your cat is preparing you as a way to relieve stress. Like kneading and sucking the blankets, preparation can be an effective self -managed mechanism for felines. If his favorite feline feels especially anxious or stressed, he could participate in this practice to seek comfort and tranquility. If you suspect that you suffer from some form of stress, it offers its hugs, curled up and additional pets and talk to it, gently and calm, again and again.

However, if you prefer not to be clean, also known as prepared by your kitten, these same experts offer the following suggestions:

  • Gently redirect your attention. Keep it entertaining with several new and exciting toys or involve it in some intense interactive game sessions every time you are about to prepare.
  • Get away from her briefly. However, before doing so, it offers an alternative to affection that clearly longs for brushing, stroking or caressing it.
  • Change your perfume, shampoo and/or soap. Through the test and error, find scented substitutes that read you, not her, or consider free fragrances.
  • Provide a quiet and stress space. If your preparation is caused by anxiety or fear, cancel a small corner of your full home with a natural sound machine, soothing chewing and plush toys that reduce anxiety.
