Your Older Cat

A Complete Guide to Nutrition, Natural Health Remedies, and Veterinary Care

About The Book

Your Older Cat shows how to extend your cat's active years and explains the special health issues for an aging cat.

Safe preventive care for a long and healthy life

You probably feel that you know everything your cat needs—plenty of food, frequent naps, and lots of love! Cats heal quickly and take excellent care of themselves, but as they age, they do need owners to pay special attention to their health and behavior. Creating a balanced diet, encouraging regular exercise, and providing good health care will ensure that your cat enjoys every one of his nine lives.
