Common Cat Health Problems

You try your best to keep your cat healthy and safe, but it is very likely that it will become ill
at some time or other. Since he can't talk to you about any physical changes he is having, or if
he's feeling ill or is in pain, you will have to notice physical symptoms that you can see. Or
there may subtle (sometimes not so subtle) changes in his behavior.

Warning signs need to be detected and brought to your vet's attention, the sooner treatment
can begin, possibly preventing a much more serious and potentially expensive problem. The vet
will look for signs and symptoms of problems and ask you about changes in your cat during the
annual checkup Don't forget to keep watching even between visits for any signs or symptoms
that could indicate a problem with your cats health.

Behavioral Signs Your Cat is Sick

Cats are not creatures that will announce to all that they have a problem with their health, not
because they are stoic or don't feel pain, but because weakness in the wild is an invitation to
predators and competitors. Even the most ferocious of wildcats will retire and hide when
injured or ill so that healing can happen undisturbed. Changes in the health of your cat may be
small and hard to notice but may be the only sign of a problem.

Cats are often times not very social, but most interact with their owner in the course of a day
and stick to their familiar routines. A cat that chooses to be alone for more than 24 hours is
probably experiencing some trouble with his health. If you cat does not move around much or
even if he just does not play and frolic as usual, may be an indication of distress. Don't be
fooled by your cat's purring. This doesn't always indicate contentment; when combined with a
bad mood and extreme defensiveness, this rumbling my signal that he is in pain.
