Cats are experts at hiding pain, so small changes matter more than they seem.

  1. Drinking or urinating noticeably more.
  2. Losing weight while eating normally.
  3. Stiffness when jumping or using stairs.
  4. Bad breath or dropping food.
  5. Hiding, or new irritability.

A routine check every six months catches most problems early.
