| 1. Nobody should know your cat more
than you:
No matter if your veterinarian is the best of the
world or a guru in cat’s affairs. Nobody should know your
cat more than you and that’s why you should concentrate in
knowing the behavior of your cat better than anybody. It is important
that you stay quiet, think before taking your phone and call your
veterinarian. The most important tool that will help you to know
better your cat is the observation. Observation is the best mechanism
that will help you to compare some differences and to know how your
cat reacts to a specific action. You should observe your cat when
is sleeping, eating and even playing with you. You even could know
the temperaments of your animal in its daily lifestyle.
2. Evaluate the eating habits:
It’s an important issue that you should evaluate. All the
time you should see the portion of food is eating and the type of
food that your cat loves. If someday you see that your cat has an
abrupt change probably something is happening and could be time
to call your vet. Otherwise you should observe what happens.
3. You should see his sociability:
Commonly cats are very independent animals and they socialize more
with people living at home. But if you see a cat staying many times
in a corner, sleeping or alone for a long time you should be aware
of that because probably your cat’s health is in problems.
4. Your cat’s gait:
Cats often has a particular way of walking and this never changes.
If you see something strange in your cats walk you should be aware
of that too.
