Elderly Cat Health Problems

Elderly cat health problems are much easier to deal with if you can spot and treat them early.

Aging cats, not surprisingly, are more prone to cat illnesses and general cat health problems than their younger counterparts.

Cats have amazing bodies. Cat anatomy is basically designed much better than human anatomy (!) and as a result cats with health problems can go on for a very long time showing no symptoms.

It's only when the problem gets quite advanced that they'll start to show any signs of illness.

Here's a list of some of the more common old cat health problems you should be aware of. The links take you to pages with further information.


Elderly Cat Health Problems and Illnesses


This is a long, scary and complex list, but the way to deal with it is straightforward; as soon as you spot anything wrong with your aging cat, you should get him checked out by your vet. Early treatment can help to greatly slow down illness progression, and may stop it altogether.

Also, the other vital aspect of elderly cat care is to get your cat regularly checked up, vaccinated, wormed etc. and to feed him a good diet. This, together with prompt treatment of any elderly cat health problems will give your older cat the best chance of a happy, healthy dotage.
