What is feline arthritis?
Feline arthritis refers to the gradual loss of joint cartilage, causing cats to feel pain and difficulty moving. Cat joint inflammation is a common degenerative disease in the elderly. Symptoms will gradually worsen with age. It is difficult for owners to detect abnormalities in cats in the early stages of the disease. The disease can be divided into congenital and acquired. The specific diagnosis can be confirmed with the help of X-ray imaging.
Symptoms of cat arthritis:
1. The cat may become unwilling to do things that were easy for her before. For example, your cat may stop jumping to high places because of pain and discomfort.
2. Arthritis changes can occur not only in the legs, but also in various parts of the spine. These changes may cause neck pain, an abnormal posture with a hunched back, or lameness in one or both hind legs.
3. Cats with arthritis may tire more easily. For cats, this may mean that they are less motivated to play games and may show signs of pain when playing games. Your cat may spend more time sleeping and/or resting.

The time for sleeping or resting is significantly increased, the dog does not play or walk in the room often, the resting or sleeping positions are changed, and these positions are easier to reach than the original positions, reducing the risk of contact with the owner or other people.
