Cats and Arthritis
For overweight pets, losing weight will help lighten the
load on those achy joints.
A 20 minute walk several times a day can reduce the progression of arthritis. If it's cold outside, let them sleep inside.
Make sure they are provided with soft bedding to reduce discomfort. Moist heat applied for 20 minutes twice a day can be a great comfort.
"All cats like being the focus of attention."
--Peter Gray
There is a revolution taking place in medicine for cats. Scientists have developed a paste that serves as vehicle for getting topical medications into the bloodstream. In many cases, instead of forcing a pill down your cat's throat, you could simply apply an ointment to her skin. Ask your vet if this type of medication is right for your cat.
