When we buy a cat, it may not necessarily be a kitten, but it may also be an old cat. Or when we adopted an old cat that day, are we a little confused about how to best raise an aging cat? Because cats age and deteriorate in all aspects, just like people, they are prone to getting sick when they get old, and the same goes for cats! So how can we improve the living conditions of old cats and raise them healthier?

Feeding: Changes in the amount of exercise will cause changes in the digestion and absorption capacity of the intestines and the filtration and detoxification functions of the liver and kidneys. Pay more attention to the hardness of food suitable for cats, and supplement calcium, iron, vitamins and Other trace elements, replace food with different flavors. Note: Do not eat foods that are not easy to digest and ensure a supply of clean water.

Brushing: If possible, your pet’s teeth should be brushed to reduce the invasion of bacteria caused by gum inflammation. When brushing teeth, pay attention to putting the cat in your arms with your left arm, so that its head is facing you, then gently open its mouth with your left hand, and then use your right hand to brush its teeth with a toothbrush.

Eye care: Use damp cotton frequently to remove excess mucus and clean the skin around the eyes. Just use warm water and clean water, dip it in cotton, and then apply it around the old cat's eyes to make them not dry.

Ear care: Check the inner auditory canal regularly to see if there is earwax or fluid leaking out of the ear. If there is any, it should be cleaned regularly. If it is serious, it should be removed. It goes to the doctor.

Joint care: Joint pain is a common problem in elderly pets. If it cannot move regularly, you can gently massage its muscles or move its limb joints while it is resting. This means that when you are at home, just hold it in your arms and rub it gently. Don't use too much force, because the cat is older and is not suitable for using strong force.
