You & Your Cat


Shopping Saves Lives!
Healthy Cats

Providing for your cats continued health is an essential service you can easily perform. By keeping your cat healthy, you are also providing yourself with a trusting companion who will bring you joy throughout the years.

Although you may feel that your cat is in perfect health, you should closely watch its behavior for changes and signs of illness. The myth that cats have nine lives is false, and cats are just as prone to accidents and disease as other animals. While your cat seems independent and well able to care for itself, it will not always stay out of danger.

Cats are susceptible to "germs" and a variety of different diseases. By learning about these health issues, you will be better prepared to assist your cat should it become ill.

Responsible cat companions realize that their cats are not immune to diseases and will watch for any signs of possible illness. Nobody wants to lose a cat to a problem that could have been prevented with the proper care and treatment.

Always take your cat to the veterinarian as soon as you notice any signs of illness. Remember that your feline depends on you to make sure it lives a long, happy and healthy life.
