Arthritis
in cats
You may notice that as your cat gets older they aren’t as nimble as they once were. It’s easy to assume this is just a natural part of ageing; however, just like humans, cats can suffer from a debilitating disease called arthritis. Today, it’s estimated that 1.5 million cats live with arthritis across Australia and New Zealand.
As cats naturally disguise pain and discomfort, arthritis can be very difficult to spot. It’s important that owners learn to recognise the subtle signs so your cat can get back to being its normal self.
Although arthritis is a lifelong condition, it can be managed with appropriate treatment and simple changes to your cat’s home and lifestyle.
