You may be familiar with arthritis if you have been around senior cats or senior animals or if you have experienced arthritis yourself. Arthritis commonly affects animals and people as they age. It can cause swelling in the joints that can be painful. If your cat has arthritis then he may have symptoms such as stiffness or swelling of the joints, lethargy, decreased flexibility, discomfort when petting them, decreased activity, messing outside the litter box and perhaps hesitancy to jump or climb things. Although it’s seen more often in aging cats, arthritis can develop in cats of all ages and breeds no matter their sex. Some types of arthritis may come up as a result of another medical condition such as a recent surgery or recent trauma. You can help your cat stay comfortable by giving him a soft place to sleep that doesn’t require any jumping. Also talk with your vet Webster, NY about treatment options. Or visit this website.
