Does My Cat Have Arthritis?

Arthritis will gradually worsen over time but the good news is there are lots of ways we can make our cats feel better and slow down its progression! A really important aspect is making sure your kitty is as lean as possible, because carrying extra weight will put a strain on joints, causing more discomfort.

Pain relief is a game-changer for our furry besties! Many cat parents realize their kitty was uncomfortable only after seeing the response to a trial on pain relief. Our furry oldies will suddenly be more active and back to their playful self - a real joy that brings back memories of their younger years!

At home, we can make life more comfortable by keeping our cat’s bed, litter tray, water and food bowls close together so everything is within easy reach and preferably low to the ground. Open litter trays with low edges are also better so that our kitties don’t feel discomfort when trying to step or jump into the tray. If our oldie likes to sleep on sofas, beds, or other raised surfaces, placing ramps or steps nearby will enable a route that is more gentle on their joints!
