Fur-ever Young? Clues that Your Cat is Aging

Oh, how time flies on silent paws! One day, they're tiny furballs of energy, and the next, they're dignified seniors basking in the glow of their golden years. But how do you know when your feline friend is entering their elder years? Keep your eyes peeled for these tell-tale signs of aging:

  • Meowing More (or Less) : If your cat's vocal habits change, it might be a sign they're into their senior years. Maybe they're chatting more about their day or asking for those water bowls a bit louder.

  • Nap Time Increase : Senior cats love their beauty sleep even more. If your cat is snoozing more than their usual catnap quota, it's a sign of their age-related need for rest.

  • The Slow-Mo Move : Watch for changes in how they leap, land, or even saunter to their food bowls. Osteoarthritis or just a touch of stiffness can be common in older cats.

  • Dinner Time Fuss : A change in appetite or how they approach their dinner can signal many things, including dental issues or a shift in their sense of smell.

  • Litter Box Habits : Spotting changes in urination or litter box habits? This could be a sign of kidney disease, diabetes, or just an older cat's changing litter needs.

  • Dishevelled Fur : A once meticulous coat might look less polished. Senior cats may need a bit more help grooming, especially if arthritis makes it hard to reach those tricky spots.

  • Behavioural Changes : Changes in how your cat seeks out company or solitude can indicate they're adjusting to life's later stages. Some older furpals may also show signs of disorientation and cognitive dysfunction.

How to Pick the Most Whisker-Lickin’ Senior Cat Foods

As cats age, their taste buds and nutritional needs change, making mealtime an important part of their old age. Here's how to ensure your elderly feline friend enjoys every bite while getting the nutrients they need:

  • High Quality is Key : Look for senior cat food that boasts high-quality ingredients. Your cat's diet should support their overall wellness without sacrificing yumminess.

  • Wet or Dry? Why Not Both?: Mix things up! Wet food can help with hydration and is often easier for older cats to eat, while dry cat food can keep those pearly whites in check.

  • Mind the Protein : Senior cats need high-quality protein to maintain muscle mass. Check the labels for sources like chicken, fish, or beef as the main ingredient.

  • Special Diets for Special Needs: Be aware of any health problems and medical conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, or hypertension. Some senior cats may need a special diet to manage these health issues.

Remember that old cats have varying nutritional needs. So, make sure to schedule regular check-ups with your vet, especially when switching to a new diet.

Purr-fect Playtime Picks for Older Cats

Just because they're clocking up the years doesn't mean the fun has to stop for your senior furball. Here's how to keep your elderly cat's tail wagging with the purr-fect toys:

  • Stimulating Puzzles : Keep that geriatric mind sharp! Interactive toys that reward with treats are great for mental stimulation.

  • Scratching Posts with Easy Access : Keep those claws in tip-top shape with scratching posts. Opt for ones with low sides for easy access.

Tail-Twitching Wellness Boosts for Senior Cat Health

Older furballs are more prone to common diseases like high blood pressure and dental disease. Sprinkling some wellness boosts into other diets can help keep these issues at bay. No worries. Swaggle's got everything your senior cat needs in their advanced years - including supplements.

Keep those tails wagging and purrs coming with our range of wellness boosts for:

  • Joint Health : With age, those leaps and bounds can get a bit creaky. Look for supplements with glucosamine and chondroitin to keep those jumps oh-so-graceful.

  • Dental Health : Dental disease can be a real party pooper. Our dental supplements turn those frowns upside down, keeping gums pink and teeth sparkly.

  • Heart Health : With heart disease a whisper away, we’ve got vitamins and supplements to keep those beats strong and steady.
