Senior Cat Care FAQs
Have questions about your pet’s care or what to expect during your visit? Check out our FAQs for quick answers on services, walk-ins, and more.
Why is my senior cat vocalizing more – especially at night?
Increased meowing can indicate hearing loss, feline cognitive dysfunction, or thyroid problems. Older cats often vocalize more than they used to, and a wellness check can help determine the cause.
Why has my older cat lost interest in grooming?
Arthritis or cognitive issues can decrease your senior cat’s desire for grooming. Schedule a vet checkup if you discover matted fur or an unkempt appearance.
My senior cat is clingy one day, aloof the next – what gives?
Mood swings in senior cats could be a signal for cognitive changes, sensory decline, or some type of discomfort. Discussing mood swings with your vet is helpful for the wellness exam, especially if your cat was previously consistent.
Can my older cat still enjoy playtime?
"Yes, playtime is beneficial and can be enjoyed by your senior cat. The play styles will likely change, so opt for slower-moving toys and shorter play times. Laser pointers, feather toys, and toys with catnip can still provide fun, low-impact stimulation for senior kitties.
"
Should I adjust my home for my older cat?
Absolutely! Adding ramps to beds, non-slip mats near food bowls, and litter boxes with low sides will improve a senior cat’s quality of life. These small efforts will improve the comfort and safety of older cats navigating mobility challenges
