Geriatric Cats

I'm wondering if you have any tips for caring for older cats? I have two tabbies, aged 14 and 17. They both seem to be losing weight lately.

Nice site you have here, by the way!

looking after the older cat does require soje extra care i agree. My own cat is now at least 16 we think and we definately spend more time making sure she gets everything she needs to keep her happy and healthy.

Obviously the food we feed our older cats needs to be modified as they are no longer as active as they once were. See my page about special diest here

Also they start to suffer with problems that we may not intially realise again I have writtena page about our senior cats here

Hope these pages can help. thanks for the nice comment about my site. i do work hard to make it useful and entertaining for my visitors..
