The 8 quiet signs worth noticing as your cats gets older.
Conditions like arthritis, dental disease and kidney changes develop gradually, so early signs often look like normal ageing. Several small changes usually appear before any single obvious symptom.
A bonier spine or ribs, muscle loss, or a body that feels different
Eating more or less than usual, or drinking more water than before
Larger or more frequent urine clumps, straining, or going outside the tray
Grooming more or less, or a coat that looks unkempt, matted or greasy
Bad breath, dropping food, drooling, or preferring soft food to biscuits
No longer jumping to favourite spots, or moving more stiffly
Hiding more, interacting less, or restless and yowling at night
Faster or harder breathing at rest, or less active and playful than before
None of these is a diagnosis on its own — but together they show what has changed, and knowing your dog's normal is what makes small changes easy to spot.
