Slowing down is a part of aging

Many people think that slowing down is an unavoidable part of aging, but they are wrong. Even though senior cats are not as energetic a kittens, slowing down could be a sign that your cat has a discomfort or pain. “Slowing down is often a sign of underlying discomfort or pain,” Dr. Pittari said.

Older cats are more likely to develop arthritis and they need special treatment to be active again. In this case, you should schedule a vet consultation for treatment and make sure that your cat is fine.
