 You may have started to notice that your senior cat doesn't move as quickly or easily as she once did. Older cats are at increased risk for conditions like arthritis, bladder issues, and vision and cognitive problems, so navigating the home can be tricky and even dangerous for them. Provide easy access to your cat's favorite places. Older cats enjoy privacy just as they did when they were younger. Rethink your litter box setup. The cat litter box should be large. Not having to crouch, hide or curl up to go potty is much more comfortable for cats, especially those with arthritis. Keep your older cat's mind active. Experts recommend continuing to engage your cat's mind as she ages. Conduct interactive play sessions that are customized to fit your cat's physical ability.
