My cat Minky has a birthday today. He’s 12! That's about 65 human years. Once cats reach the age range of 8-10, they are
considered seniors, and after the age of 10, they’re considered elderly. Older cats require special care. Like us, as cats age, they may develop hearing impairment, vision problems and arthritis. Here are a few tips to help you keep your older cat happy and comfortable.
Feed a high quality, easy-to-digest diet. Older cats need extra fluids, so if yours has been on a mostly dry diet, consider adding some wet food to it. This will help their kidneys stay healthy.
Provide a quiet, warm place for them to hang out. Older cats tend to be a lot less active than young ones and become more sensitive to cold. Make sure they have a nice place to relax away from high traffic areas and other pets.
