Is your kitty sick?

Cats are not like dogs. Cats have high resistant and they will not show they are sick until the last stage of the illness, then all symptom appears. They'll act normal - play, eat as usual, but actually, they are sick. Cat is a good actor I can say. So how do we know our kitty is sick?

1. They don't groom well or don't groom at all. Eg: Scruffy coat
2. They sleep more or less than usual. House cat sleeps 13-16 hours a day meanwhile wild cat sleeps 8-12 hours a day. If your cat sleeps more or less than that, it may show your cat is sick or boring.

3. Lost appetite, or eats less than usual amount.
4. Not alert. Try giving your kitty wet food, does kitty becomes crazy? Or try play with kitty. Move a feather or something. Does kitty wanna catch it? or does kitty eyes look at the moving thing?(for lazy cats at home)

5. Goes to toilet often than usual. Eg: Kitty keeps going to toilet every 15minutes. This is a sign of kidney stone.

6. Kitty looks lethargic. Eg: Kitty just lay in his bed, doing nothing, like a person whose day dreaming, all day long, kitty just lay and sleep in his bed.

If you spot any of these signs, bring kitty to the vet. Remember, cats are an Oscar winning actor/actress..
