Cat symptoms

Learning to quickly recognize cat symptoms can sometimes be the difference between life and death for your cat.

Often it’s not that serious but not solving one problem can lead to others.

A few things to watch for.
1. Weight loss
2. Weight gain
3. Scratching itself a lot
4. Losing more hair than usual.
5. Sudden stops using the litter box.
6. Drinking more water than usual.
7. Having trouble eating solid food.
8. Lethargic
9. Eyes not clear and bright
10. Lots of hairballs
11. Watery eyes
12. Runny nose

These are just a few cat symtoms we watch for.

It’s always a good idea to take them to vet for regular check ups and have blood work done. Just like in humans,

blood work can show a lot of things that we wouldn’t know otherwise.

We discovered that one of our cats had a thyroid condition and we only knew that from our veterinarian taking blood

work. Now she takes a pill twice a day (we help her with that) and things are going well.

Diet has a lot to do with the health and well being of your kitty also. It pays to do a little research on what

you’re feeding your cat. A lot of the cheaper foods have different ingredients than the more expensive ones. You

can buy a decent quality cat food without going to extremes. Sometimes you’ll see cats that are very overweight and

it could me a medical condition but it also could be the food that is being provided for them.

We’ve all heard the old saying, “You are what you eat”

If kitty is itching a lot, it could be a skin condition or it could be fleas.
Ticks are another critter that can carry various diseases and be harmful to your cat and you.

If your kitty is having trouble eating it could be a problem with the teeth or gums. Again having them checked by a

qualified veterinarian is very important.

Spend time with your cat. Get to know her and observe her patterns. When she starts acting a little differently

that may well be the early sign that you need to get her the help she needs. Early diagnosis is often key to having

a successful outcome.

Cat symptoms are many just like with us. A little common sense will go along way to helping your kitty to live a

long and productive life.

May you and your kitty(s) have a blessed life together.
