Cat Health and Health Problems

Learn about cat skin problems...

In the days when households had a number of barn cats and perhaps one or two who were allowed in the house, individual cats may have been considered more or less interchangable and expendable.

Nowadays, you may receive a kitten as a pet in childhood that is with you throughout your education and into adulthood.

With improved diet and vet care, cats can live as long as twenty years; the oldest cat on record lived to the advanced age of 36. Still, a cat over ten is an 'older' cat, and needs additional medical vigilance.

Of course, if you want your cat to be with you for a long time, it is best to keep him exclusively indoors. Many people feel that is unfair, and that cats like to roam, explore and hunt. But outdoor cats get hit by cars, attacked by other animals and exposed to infectious diseases. When you consider that indoor/outdoor cats have an average lifespan of two years versus twenty for indoor-only cats, the trade-off is fair.

In this section, you will find articles about specific health problems, issues cats can be faced with, plus advice and information on dealing with them.
