Over the years, everyone has been confused by the saying that "cats have nine lives", mistakenly thinking that cats are very tenacious, but I don't know how many cats have left us because of sudden illness.
Kittens have low immunity, high infection rate and are fatal. Many kittens also have congenital diseases, which may not be easy to find in the early stage, and gradually show problems with their growth and development.
The life span of a cat is only ten years. Cats over eight years old are prone to all kinds of senile diseases due to aging organs, which not only shortens their life span, but also makes them live in great pain in their later years. But if we can find these foundations early, prevent them early and treat them early, the result may be completely different.
In addition, some obese cats, cats who are usually in poor spirits, cats who are often ill and have weak resistance, and cats who are gradually losing weight, it is recommended to go to a pet hospital for regular check-ups.
