Proper care will go a long way in keeping your cat fit, active and healthy, but your cat could still fall ill. It is important to recognise symptoms of disease and there are several symptoms that can indicate there is something wrong with your cat. We recommend contacting your veterinarian if your cat is displaying one or more of the following symptoms:

Lack of energy, poor coat, extreme hair loss, bald patches, skin flakes, no or little appetite, a change in behaviour, like becoming extremely docile, restless, being in obvious pain, having trouble moving around, panting, coughing, wheezing, urinating or defecating more or less than normal, and a higher body temperature.

You can help to keep your cat healthy by regularly worming it and ridding it of fleas. You can find more information on this topic in the Fleas and Ticks section.
