We love our household pets and we want to do everything we can to ensure their health no matter the cost.
Pets are more than animals; to some people they are kids and family members.
As a cat lover, you should be aware of Cat Disease, what signs to look for, what you can do to help your feline, and when to go to the vet.
If you are an owner with children, you may be paranoid believing that if your cat gets sick, then you or your child is next.
Most Cat Disease is not going to pass on to a human.
If your animal is infested with fleas and ticks, then take immediate measures before those critters attach themselves to you or other household members.
You may not notice any telltales signs when your cat begins to feel sick.
Unfortunately, they are not like children and adults who look sick when they feel sick.
Cats are much harder to read.
The first thing to look for is changes in behavior.
If you have a female cat, do not try to shrug these signs off as mood swings.
The cat who is normally feisty may suddenly become overly friendly or vice verse.
You know the personality of your cat and if that personality suddenly changes, don't ignore it.
Also, changes in appearance could be a sign of Cat Disease.
If you haven't made changes to your cat's diet, but the cat is looking a little smaller or a little bigger, you may need to get concerned.
Be aware of your cat's coat too.
If it seems thinner, coarser, or is falling out and you cannot attribute these things to age, then you should be concerned.
Lastly, changes in eating habits or in elimination can be warning signals of some sort of Cat Disease.
Cats can be picky, but unless you have changed their food, they have no reason to suddenly decide to quit eating.
As for elimination, you should always pay attention to what you are cleaning out of it.
You can tell a lot about an animal from it's stools.
If you notice any of these symptoms, then you should talk to your vet.
This is the best course of action you can do for your cat.
