The lifespan of a cat is only about 10 years, which is much smaller than that of a person, so raising a cat is likely to accompany it until it grows old. So what are the characteristics of cats when they grow old and what should we pay attention to?
1. An older cat has slow movements, cannot jump very high, and will not play every day like when he was a child. My steps were unstable and I began to feel disliked to go out, just wanting to have a quiet rest at home.
2. When you get older, your cat will drink a lot of water every day, and even if you don’t exercise, it will be much more than before. The longer you go to the toilet, the more severe the urinary incontinence will be.
3. If old teeth are bad, cats are bad. His teeth will start to fall off, his mouth will start to get worse, and his appetite will gradually decrease.
4. The eyes are not as bright as before, and gradually become blurred. If you don't take good care of him, you may have eye disease.
5. Cats love beauty very much. When kittens are young, they will pay attention to their appearance and have beautiful fur. When used to age, its hair will darken, light-colored hair will grow, and the hair will drop severely.
6. When you get old, your skin will not be as shiny as before, and you will have a lot of dandruff, so you will not be beautiful.
After understanding the performance of the old cat, we should know how to take care of the old cat and make it live longer.
1. Check your body regularly
When your cat is old, the pet owner should take him to the hospital for a comprehensive examination every year. This way, you can prevent it before you get sick. If you are really sick, you will find and treat it in time.
2. Probiotics are properly fed. When cats are old, they don't like exercise. This can lead to indigestion. It is best to feed cats some probiotics to help them regulate their stomach, promote digestion and absorption, and enhance immunity
3, and change dietary habits
When cats get older, we should pay more attention to what they eat. Give him the right food and supplement the right amount of nutrition. It is best to feed cat food instead of difficult-to-digest food and make sure the cat is fed clean water.
Although the cat is old, the cat shoveler treats it like a family member. I believe that it will never leave it, accompany its old age and give it a special cat life.
