Cat Health

In recent weeks we talked a lot about weight loss in cats, ending our discussion with a guide for creating and managing your cat’s weight loss. But there are several more things you can do to make your cat’s diet more effective and healthy. Find out about those in this article.

How do you tell if your cat is fat? Does your cat need a veterinary examination to determine this? No, you can do so at home. In this article, you will learn how to tell if your cat is overweight or not.

Vomiting in cats is very serious, and there are few occasions when you can identify and treat the cause by yourself. In this article, you will learn the most common causes of vomiting in cats and in which cases you should visit a veterinarian.

In this article we are going to list the signs of pregnancy in cats. Recently, we talked about ways to prevent pregnancy in cats as a part of our series for owners of female cats. Unfortunately, no matter how protective you are, if you have an unspayed female cat in the household, there is no guaranteed way to avoid pregnancy. Therefore, at one point or another, it might be beneficial to be able to detect signs of cat pregnancy.

Do you brush your cat’s teeth? WHAT? Seriously, cat’s teeth are very similar to ours. Cats and humans may not brush their teeth in the wild, but modern society values the benefits of regular tooth brushing, even for cats. If you expect your cat to live 20+ years, you should pay attention to what’s in your cat’s mouth.

Are you terrified by the idea that you might have to collect a urine sample from your cat? The most common symptoms that require collecting a cat’s urine are problems with urination (including painful urination and urination outside of the litter box), changes in appetite and water consumption, as well as weight fluctuations and other disorders. In this article, you are going to learn about the most convenient ways of getting a urine sample from a cat.

Diarrhea is quite common in people and not so rare in pet animals too. But is it something to worry about? Yes, it is. Diarrhea is one of the most common signs of intestinal disorder in dogs and cats and, like with any sudden changes, diarrhea or even softening of stools should be paid attention to, if not warrant a vet visit.

Most cat owners are terrified at the thought that they may need to brush their pet’s teeth, not to mention hearing that they may need to do so every day.

A shiny side of the coin, though, is that brushing your cat’s teeth may seem impossible at first, but with correct training and an understanding of how to do so, the process not only becomes readily accepted by your pet but takes just a few minutes of your time.

In our previous article, we concluded that you should brush your cat’s teeth. And lazy as humans are, most pet owners first come up with a question: “How often should I brush my cat’s teeth?“
In this article, you will learn not only how frequently cat tooth brushing is required, but also why inconsistent brushing may be worse than not brushing at all.

Do you brush your cat’s teeth? A poll at Catster.com shows that more than two-thirds of cat owners do not clean their cat’s teeth. But do you brush your own teeth? We know that most people do, and they don’t need a reason. Yet when we tell our clients they should clean their cat’s teeth, we usually get a big-eyed expression and this response: “What? Are you kidding?”
