Caring for a senior cat: comfort, food, and gentle check ins

Senior cats give us their best years. A few small changes keep them comfortable.

Make comfort easy to reach

Older joints appreciate low sided beds, soft blankets, and steps up to favorite perches. Keep food, water, and the litter box on the same floor.

Feed for the years

Senior cats often do better with easy to digest food and steady access to fresh water. A pet fountain encourages drinking, which supports kidney health.

Watch for quiet changes

Weight changes, drinking more, or sleeping in new spots are worth a vet chat. Cats hide discomfort well, so gentle check ins matter.
