10 Simple Suggestions To Help Extend Your Cat’s Life

Keeping your kitty lean and in good shape and health is another contributing factor to giving your cat a long and healthy life. Overweight kitties are more prone to a number of diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, skin disease, respiratory disease.

Though cats naturally groom themselves for literally hours each day, indoor cats especially may end up with extra hair that then shows up in hairballs. Regular grooming will definitely cut down on excess hair both in your house and in your cat’s stomach.

Cats are certainly creatures of habit, and even a tiny change in behavior could indicate a potentially life-threatening health issue.

One sure-fire way of increasing the life expectancy of your fur-baby is to make sure that your pet has all of the required vaccinations.
 

On the flip-side, weight loss may also be a symptom of a serious health condition.

Although you may love to feed your pet with the best of food very often to show him your love, you may also want to think twice before over-feeding them. An obese cat is much more prone to such diseases as diabetes, arthritis and cardiac arrest, which eventually shortens their life expectancy. You may also play with your pet whenever you can so that it burns out the excess calories.
