A prompt trip to the vet is key to solving or reducing cat health problems and maximizing cat life expectancy. The longer a health problem is left, the harder and more expensive it becomes to treat. The symptoms described below may be an early warning that something is wrong with your cat.

1. General lack of energy

We all know cats sleep a lot, but if yours becomes much more lethargic compared to normal and can hardly seem to be bothered to do anything, something may well be wrong.

2. Loss of appetite and / or weight loss

One of the first signs of feline illnesses is often a loss of appetite. The loss may be partial or almost complete.

3. Reluctance to groom fur and / or cat hair loss

Healthy cats are meticulous about grooming their fur, which is why it always looks so shiny and sleek.

A sick cat, often due to a general overall lack of energy, will reduce or even stop grooming his fur. As a result, his coat will quickly become dull, maybe have more dandruff and matted.

4. Urinating more frequently or less frequently

Any change in you cat's peeing habits may indicate cat health problems include straining, urinated outside of the box and frequent urination.

5. Excessive thirst or reluctance to drink water

6. Changes in your cat’s normal behavior
