Thanks for reaching out with your question! It's great that you're paying attention to your cat's needs as she ages. Cats generally start to show signs of aging around 7–8 years old, although this can vary. Some common signs of aging include reduced activity levels, changes in weight (loss or gain), altered sleep patterns, and changes in grooming habits. You might also notice that your cat's eyes become a bit cloudier or she develops signs of arthritis, such as stiffness or reluctance to jump.
At home, you can help your aging cat by providing a soft, comfortable bed and ensuring easy access to food and water. Regular grooming can help if she's not grooming herself as well, and try to engage her in gentle play to keep her mentally and physically active.
Watch for more serious signs like significant weight loss, difficulty breathing, changes in appetite, or increased drinking or urination, which could indicate health issues that need veterinary care.
If you're noticing these or any other worrying changes, it might be a good idea to book a video consult with one of our veterinarians through Dial A Vet. We can offer guidance tailored to your cat's specific needs and help ensure her golden years are as healthy as possible.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
