📝September is animal pain awareness month

🐈‍⬛Signs of chronic pain are easy to miss in cats

🐈‍⬛With the average life span of a cat being 14 years of age (with many cats living longer), the likelihood of a cat developing pain related to illness and disease increases , meaning older cats are more likely to be affected

🐈‍⬛Living with chronic pain can dramatically affect a cat's quality of life

Common diseases/conditions that cause chronic pain in cats include:

🐈Osteoarthritis
🐈Dental disease
🐈Gastrointestinal disease
🐈Feline idiopathic cystitis
🐈Pancreatitis/Triaditis
🐈Dermatological conditions
🐈Neoplasia (cancer)
🐈Kidney disease
🐈Post surgical pain

As discussed in a previous post, cats are really good at masking pain. The changes in behaviour associated with cats experiencing chronic pain may be gradual and subtle, making them more difficult to spot.

Behavioural changes that occur in cats suffering from chronic pain include :

🐾Reduced activity, including playing, jumping and going outside
🐾House soiling
🐾Poor or reduced appetite
🐾Drinking less
🐾Favours lower surfaces for resting and perching
🐾Looks 'creaky' or stiff when walks
🐾Drags hind limbs when jumps onto furniture
🐾Avoids using stairs
🐾Grooms less, so coat looks rough, dull or matted
🐾Less interactive with people and other animals, becomes withdrawn and dull
🐾Resents handling, may seem grumpy or irritable
🐾Aggression towards people and other animals
🐾Sleeping more or changes to sleep pattern
🐾 Weight loss

😸The good thing is that chronic pain can be treated and managed in cats

🩺Owners who suspect their cat is uncomfortable should speak to their vet who will be able to help

Never assume a cat is 'just getting old' because they can often be medically managed to make them more comfortable ❤️😺
