Cat Health


Everything you need to know about cat's general care and everyday cat health.

A cat is a survivor, and if it is injured, will often keep going regardless, making it difficult to spot if anything is wrong.

Getting to know your cat's character, giving it regular checks, and understanding a little about the strengths and weaknesses of its body will help you to be the first signs of illness or injury.

Vigilance and care will keep the vet's bills down, too.

If an emergency arises, knowing how to deal with it may save your cat's life and increase its chances of a full recovery.

A cat playing is in his or her character, if it were suddenly to become uninterested in playing and listless, this would be a sign to the cat owner of possible cat ill health.

It is also important to check the cat's thied eyelid, or nictitating membrance. If this shows on its own, it suggests there is something wrong. The cat may have an infection or a foreign body in its eye.

Modern cat food does not give a cat's teeth the exercise and cleaning power that would come from hunted food. It is therefore important to check the cat teeth regularly.
