Cat Behaviors That Could Be Signs of a Sick Cat
He’s Not Grooming as Much as He Used to
Cats can stop grooming for a multitude of reasons, and this can be a sign that your cat is sick and should see a veterinarian, according to Dr. Barrack. “For example, overweight cats may not be physically able to groom,” says Dr. Barrack. “In addition, obesity can cause many health problems, including cancer, diabetes and decreased life expectancy and quality of life.”Decreased grooming can also be connected to pain from dental disease, injury or arthritis, according to Dr. Barrack. “In senior cats, decreased grooming may be attributable to senility,” she adds.
