How will I know if my cat is sick?
Cats are good at hiding pain and abnormalities; it takes an experienced eye to identify a sick cat, mostly in the initial stages of the disease when the signs are not so obvious.
For inexperienced cat parents and vets, a sick cat might appear normal to them if not critically observed. Early detection = early treatment = good prognosis
In this post, we list the common signs sick cats show.
