How do I need to know about domestic cat health?

Answer by  PHOAT (645)

It's important to know about your cat's health to not just treat any problems the cat may have but to prevent serious conditions which could shorten their life and increase expenses as a pet owner.

Your pet's vet can advise you on the normal growth pattern of a cat, no matter domestic or a fancy breed. All cats deserve proper nutrition, good shelter and a life-time of love and happiness. Enjoy your pet and the joy they add to your life but practice responsible ownership with regular visits to a vet.

This is very easy for you. Your cat will be a good member of your family if you take care of its health. Many websites like Catster can help you, as will your vet or local shelter. With a little bit of research, you can keep your little friend in good health.

My number one advice would be to buy a book, written by a veterinarian. A good book would be written in simple terms, explanatory without being too technical, and practical with information on cat care. It will tell you how to keep your cat in the best of health. And to use proper treatment for illnesses and injury.

You can tell if your cat is not feeling well if you know his/her habits. If they seem really lethargic or have diarrhea/vomiting that would be a sign. Also, if they excessively scratch, they may have fleas.

You just need to take them to the vet for check ups every so often and make sure they get the proper shots.
