CATDOLL : How to detect various problems of cats in time

Ways to detect various problems of cats in time:

1. Observe the cat's excretion: Many physical problems of cats can cause abnormal urination, such as urinary tract diseases, kidney diseases, urethral diseases and diabetes, so if the cat's excretion is abnormal, it can be basically determined that there is something wrong with its body. And abnormal urination may also be caused by arthritis. Cats with arthritis will find it difficult to walk to the litter box to urinate, so they may urinate randomly.

2. Pay attention to your cat's weight: If your cat suddenly loses weight, it may be caused by hyperthyroidism, diabetes or a host of other diseases. Obesity increases the risk of diabetes and can also cause joint diseases and other problems, so the owner should pay more attention to the cat's weight changes.

3. Pay attention to the cat's social behavior: If the way a cat interacts with people or other animals suddenly changes, it is likely that the cat is sick, or it may be due to fear, anxiety or pain. Usually, once a cat is sick, it will show symptoms of poor spirits and reduced activity. If the cat's activity suddenly decreases, it is likely a sign of arthritis or systemic disease; while increased activity may be caused by hyperthyroidism.

4. Pay attention to the cat's sleep time: The cat's sleep time is also closely related to its physical condition. If the cat sleeps longer than normal, it may have underlying diseases. The normal sleep time for a cat is 16-18 hours a day, but most of the time it is napping.

5. Pay attention to your cat's diet: If your cat is not a picky eater, a decrease in food intake may also indicate that your cat is sick. There are many reasons why your cat may eat less, from dental problems to cancer, so you must pay attention to it. If your cat suddenly eats more, it may be caused by diabetes, hyperthyroidism or other health problems.

Ways to prevent your cat from getting sick:

1. As the saying goes, "Diseases come from the mouth and disasters come from the mouth." Diet has always been one of the main causes of cat illness. Preventing cats from getting sick starts with diet. The food needs to be clean and fresh. Clean the cat's food bowl regularly. Do not feed cats spoiled or expired food, and pay attention to the nutritional balance of cat food.

2. The cat's food bowl, litter box and cat bed should be disinfected regularly to kill pathogenic bacteria.

3. Comb the cat's fur regularly, bathe it appropriately, and keep the cat clean.

4. Try not to let cats come into contact with dead insects such as flies and cockroaches to reduce the source of pollution.

5. Ask your cat to have a regular checkup by a veterinarian so that any signs of illness can be dealt with promptly to prevent a serious illness.
