Meanwhile, Cats Protection explains that elderly cats require more care and attention from their owners in order to live peacefully in their golden years. As a result, senior cats require additional warmth and particularly soft bedding.
Furthermore, as they become older, they may have difficulties going to high locations, so consider adding stools, ramps, or ladders leading up to their favorite napping positions. Alternatively, you can continue to pick up your cat and place it anywhere it likes. We're confident your cat won't mind.
Older cats may also struggle to maintain their coats. Spend extra time grooming them to keep them shining and tidy. It's a win-win situation: your cat's coat will look better, you'll spend more time interacting with him, and you'll lessen your stress levels while stroking him. Cats, regardless of their age, deserve to be cared for by their owners in order to keep the good times rolling.
