As a cat owner, you regularly worry about the health and well-being of your small animal.

As you know, cats in poor health will do everything to hide their disease.

This reflex comes to them from their wild ancestors who, in nature, were predators but also prey.

Showing their weaknesses could then endanger their survival.

To make sure your cat is in top shape, here are some good health signs to recognize a healthy cat!

1. The Cat’s weight is stable

A first indicator of good health is your cat weight.

If it is stable, it generally means that the general condition of your cat is good.

Indeed, loss of appetite in cats or, conversely, bulimia, are very often the first symptoms of a disease.

Likewise, a healthy cat does not drink excessively.

2. The Cat’s coat is shiny

The cat’s coat is an important element to observe.

If it is shiny, dandruff-free, soft and silky, it means that the cat is healthy.

On the other hand, if it is dull, dry and the hair is brittle, this very often indicates a cat health problem.

3. The Cat’s eyes are clean

If your cat has clean, bright eyes, a lively and dynamic look, you don’t have to worry.

4. The Cat is full of energy

A cat full of vitality, liveliness and zest for life is a happy and healthy cat.

If your still wants to play, that’s a good sign.

5. The Cat’s ears are clean

Many diseases affect the cat’s ears (scabies, ear infections, infections, etc.).

If your hairball has clean ears, no earwax or odors, everything is fine.

6. The Cat’s stools are regular

The stools of a healthy cat are firm, brown and well molded.

On the other hand, stools that are too soft or of a greyish color should not be taken lightly.

Likewise, cat’s urine is clear and yellow.

At the slightest trace of blood in your cat’s stool or urine, consult a veterinarian.

7. The Cat does not change its behavior

A sudden change in cat behavior may indicate discomfort.

If your tomcat is still as cuddly or, conversely, still as wild, it is that your cat is fine.

8. The Cat’s gums are pink

An obvious sign of disease in cats is the color of the gums: usually pink, if they turn pale or bluish, it is a sign that the cat is really not well.

9. The Cat’s muzzle is clean

Like the eyes and ears, a cat’s muzzle should not have secretions or crusts.

10. The Cat cleans itself regularly

The cat being a very clean animal, the toilet is a sacred moment.

If your cat suddenly stops bathing or, on the contrary, starts to lick excessively, this indicates a serious problem.
