Cat Behaviour Articles

When cats get older, it’s normal for their appetite and eating habits to change with time. Some cats lose interest in the food they once loved, while others want to eat less often than when they were younger.

As a cat owner, one of the ways you should care for your cat is by checking their oral health is in order. As cats get older, it’s common for dental issues to develop.

Some people may not know that cats can get Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). Older cats in particular are much more susceptible to picking up UTIs, the symptoms of which are usually easy to spot.

Throughout their life, your cat will spend a lot of their day following their natural instinct to groom. Not only does grooming help your cat look after their coat, but it also reinforces social bonds, and controls parasites.

In the natural world, big cats use grooming to maintain their social relationships. In a similar way, you can strengthen the bond with your kitten is by giving them a regular health check. It's a good idea to start doing this from a young age – that way, your kitten will soon start thinking of it as just another natural routine.

Just like their big cat cousins, your kitten is a true carnivore. Their teeth, tongue and digestive system are all specially designed for eating meat. So to meet their natural nutritional needs, it’s important to get their diet just right.
