Gray whiskers, golden hearts: Caring for cats in their senior years

Dela

We would enjoy hearing from you.

Depending on health and other factors, in-door cats can live into their mid- to upper teens. Some cats exceed that average, even living into their twenties. Senior cats are special, but they can have many needs. This edition of The Hissing Feline podcast focuses on geriatric cats…their health, characteristics, and care. 

Joining me today on this edition of the show is Dr. Grant Jacobson, founder of The Hometown Veterinarian in Marshalltown, Iowa.

Here are some topics discussed in the show:

  • Age segments of cats and relation to human years, incluidng when a cat is considered a senior
  • Modern cat longevity
  • What makes a senior cat special
  • Types of health problems with cat age
  • Difficulty jumping onto a bed, chair, or couch
  • When to see a veterinarian
  • Resources recommended for owners of senior cats to learn more
