Cat Health and Vet Guides
Cats are masters at hiding illness — by the time you notice something’s wrong, a condition may be well advanced. Our vet-reviewed health guides help you recognise early warning signs, understand common feline conditions, and know when a vet visit can’t wait.
Topics We Cover
- Common conditions — Kidney disease, urinary tract issues, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, dental disease, and skin conditions
- Emergency signs — Urinary blockages, poisoning (lilies, rat bait, essential oils), breathing difficulty, and trauma
- Preventive care — Vaccination schedules, parasite prevention, dental care, and annual health checks
- Behavioural health — Stress, anxiety, litter box issues, overgrooming, and changes in behaviour that signal illness
- Senior cat health — Managing chronic conditions, mobility support, pain management, and quality of life
Cats need annual vet checks at minimum — twice yearly for senior cats over 10. Early detection of conditions like kidney disease and diabetes dramatically improves outcomes and reduces treatment costs.
