Hill's Pet Nutrition News News from last year December November October September August July June May April March February January The changing needs of older cats Some older cats are prone to weight gain and obesity. They can eat less, but still seem to gain weight. In this case, it is important to control the absence of conditions that may be related to a change in behavior or metabolism, as well as to a decrease in physical activity. Weight gain can lead to various pathologies, including heart, respiratory, urinary, skin and joint problems, the severity of which can be worsened with age. Adopting low calorie nutrition by measuring the amount of food can help your cat lose weight. Other cats eat normally, but still lose weight. This may be indicative of an underlying disease, such as heart disease, thyroid dysfunction, or diabetes. Finally, some cats eat less and lose weight due to painful periodontal disease (affecting the teeth and gums) or kidney disease. Any abnormal change in the behavior of your elderly cat should be the subject of a veterinary consultation. To make sure your senior cat stays healthy for as long as possible, it's important to meet their specific needs. For example, antioxidants and fish oils promote brain health and vitality, while controlled levels of minerals support kidney and urinary health. Proper nutrition for older cats can help fight age-related changes.
