Cat Health: Cat Health Care Tips
For People Owned By A Cat!
Poor cat health can be easily avoided with
a little attention to good cat care and will extend the life of
your pet, and save you money on veterinary bills. Although most
cats are strong and independent pets, they still need your help to
stay healthy and fit.
Exercise, access to fresh water, and
nutritious food are all important to your cat's health and well
being. Even if your cat stays indoors, make sure they have toys
and proper cat scratching post. Something as simple as a rolled up
sock or small ball to roll around can keep your cat amused for
hours.
Indoor cats love to look out the windows
and watch what's going on in the world. It's like a cat TV and
making it easy for your cat to watch the world is important. You
can clear a spot or even make a small platform in front of
favorite windows to give your cat easy access.
Try to keep the table scraps to a minimum
and always keep any toxic materials safely stored away. Indoor
plants seem to be a favorite of some cats so pay attention to what
plants you have out and make sure they are harmless.

Sick Cat
Symptoms - Caution!
This website (or any other website for
that matter) can not do a proper diagnoses of any serious cat
illness because they can't examine the cat. The web is a great
place to do research, get help on prevention, and general cat
care. But it should never be used as a replacement for emergency
treatment of a serious medical condition or illness by a trained
professional. If your cat is exhibiting any of the following
symptoms, you should immediately seek professional medical
treatment from a local veterinarian.
- not eating or drinking in the past
18 hours
- A normally social cat displays
abnormal behavior like hissing,
hiding, and/or seeking dark places to hide.
- Vomiting beyond the occasional
hairball or eating too fast
- Showing signs of breathing
improperly or coughing continuously.
Any of these symptoms can indicate a
serious and even life threatening illness or injury to your cat.
Knowing your cat's normal behavior and noticing any serious
deviation is a sure sign of a serious medical issue. Many cats
don't exhibit symptoms until the situation is past any normal
treatments and will require some quick action on your part to
remedy the situation. We highly recommend you seek professional
medical help as soon as possible.
