Keeping an eye out for changes between vet visits can make a big difference to your cat's health.
More Information
Common Health Problems
Despite your best efforts at keeping your cat healthy and safe, chances are that he will become ill at some time or other in his life. But since he can't tell you about any physical changes he's undergoing, or if he's feeling ill or is in pain, you'll need to pick up on any physical symptoms or subtle (sometimes not so subtle) changes in his behavior. The earlier any warning signs are detected and brought to your vet's attention, the sooner treatment can begin, possibly preventing a much more serious and potentially expensive problem. Your vet will certainly look for any physical signs of problems and ask you about behavioral indicators during your cat's annual checkup, but keeping an eye out for changes between vet visits can make a big difference to your cat's health.
