The Science of Cat Food Palatants

Many cat lovers have a cat as a pet. How do you know if your companion is in good cat health? You know your cat like no other and if something is wrong, you can often notice it in time. Cat Health is usually only looked at when you are at the vet with yours. You can also apply a general cat health check yourself. This can be done very simply by paying attention to his skin and fur, looking at his eyes and ears, eating behavior, unpleasant odors, or swelling.cat health

Appearance

When your cat comes to the vet, his health is examined. Especially if he does not visit the vet often, it is wise to regularly examine your cat yourself. You can do this with your cat from an early age so that he gets used to it. First of all, you need to look at his appearance. As an owner, you know your cat best. If there are deviations, you are the one who notices this first. If the points below apply, then this is a cause for concern:

  • Dull, deep-set eyes
  • Pale gums
  • dirty ears
  • Blood or other discharge on the fur or his blanket
  • Bad smell from his body
  • Unexpected swellings
  • Weight loss

Simple Cat Health checks

Stroke all over his body and also look between his fur at his skin. The skin should not contain any flakes. Meanwhile, watch the cat’s reactions to the touch. A quick movement of its head may cause it to hurt. He can also indicate pain by blowing or reacting aggressively. cat health

The eyes, ears, and anus must be clean. If you look in its mouth, the gums should be pink. Red gums and brown spots on the teeth indicate a disease. A healthy cat weighs about 4 to 6 pounds. A cat has the ideal weight if the ribs cannot be seen, but can be felt when stroked.

Food and drink

It is important to know how much your cat is eating or drinking. In particular, a shortage of water must be supplemented in a timely manner. A cat can even survive for several weeks without food, but without water, it can only survive for a few days. If the cat does not want to eat or drink it is necessary to go to the vet.

Behavior

If a cat is in pain, the following points may apply:

  • restlessness
  • Aggressive to the touch
  • Don’t feel like moving
  • Not interested
  • Abnormal sleeping behavior
  • Constantly spinning

stool

The appearance of the stool and the amount say a lot about the state of the digestive system. A cat’s normal stool is brown and solid in shape. If the cat has diarrhea or strains a lot for his stool, you should go to the vet. Even if there is blood or mucus in the stool, something is wrong. If the cat suddenly goes to the bathroom in unusual places, there may be problems with the bowels or bladder.

Other

To keep your cat in optimal health, you need to prevent worms and fleas. It is advisable to visit the vet every year for a health check with a healthy cat. If you have any doubts about the health of your cat, it is wise to have the vet look at it.
