cat clawing.jpgIn the pet food manufacturer Royal Canin’s extensive study into pet care, 30 percent of the European Population is over eight years old, with the average cat having a life expectancy of 16 years.  The company also revealed that 80% of owners failed to change their cats diet as they get older simply because they are not aware that their animals nutritional needs change.

In most cases owners do not realise that as a cat gets older, her digestive system becomes less efficient, so owners should be providing them with several smaller meals, rather than to main meals. 
-

Despite slowing down in older age and less inclined to venture outdoors, cats should be encouraged to exercise in the home and owners should encourage them with plenty to keep them active.

If your cat is over eight years of age, it's also a good idea to speak to vet and have a yearly check-up that includes a full inspection of their teeth and gums.  Good oral health can prevent infections to the liver kidney's heart and lungs.
