Free checklist for owners of senior cats
Is it pain, or just old age?
Cats hide pain. Much of what looks like "just getting old" is joint pain, dental pain, an illness or a changing brain, and much of it can be eased. This one-page checklist helps you spot 12 signs in 2 minutes, so you can raise them with your vet.
What's on the checklist
- Moving and jumping: the small changes that often point to joint pain.
- Grooming and the litter box: why bending and squatting can hurt.
- Mood and contact: pain often shows up as a change in character.
- Nights, eating and drinking: signs of illness or age-related changes in the brain.
- When to call your vet today, and what to bring to the appointment.
Caring for a senior cat with a diagnosis?
A short guide is on its way: what to watch day to day, how to make choices together with your vet, and, when you start to wonder whether it is time, how to decide and plan a peaceful goodbye.
