Noticing certain behavioral changes
Cats are some of the most subtle creatures when it comes to their health. To be more specific, they hide their symptoms, and you will not know that they are actually suffering in silence. For instance, if you notice that your cat sleeps more than usual or avoids interactions then you should call your vet.
“When owners think they’re overreacting by bringing their kitty to see me, I tell them ‘You can’t overreact with a cat’,” says Dr. Pittari. “I’d much rather find nothing too serious than have you wait and bring me a very sick kitty.”
