Lethargic Cat

Cats are living creatures and in many ways, they suffer from the same ailments that affect humans too. As we age, we will find that our bones and joints become less strong.

Feline Congestive Heart Failure

Sick Cat

Congestive heart failure happens when a cat's heart fails to pump enough blood to support the entire body. Tissues in the extremities and vital organs in more severe cases are damaged as a result of the failure. This is because the blood doesn't deliver enough oxygen to support them. Overweight and senior cats are at a higher risk of having heart failure.

Cats and Kidney Disease

Many people assume that an old sick cat automatically has kidney disease. This is incorrect, and my own cat (Prada's predecessor!) Humpy was living proof of it. A young cat, Humpy developed the symptoms early, and the cause was probably an inferior diet in the 2 years before he took charge of me.

In case you aren't sure why kidneys are important, they are basically the waste disposal systems of cat bodies. They eliminate toxins from the blood and also filter out waste products from the food your cat eats.
