Hello there! It's always inspiring to talk about our senior feline friends. I have the privilege of caring for a 21-year-old cat who’s still going strong! Cats can live into their late teens and early twenties, especially with good care and regular vet visits.
As cats age, they might experience changes like decreased activity levels, weight fluctuations, or altered eating habits. These are often normal parts of aging, but sometimes they can be indicators of conditions like arthritis, dental disease, or kidney issues.
At home, you can help your aging cat by ensuring they have a cozy, accessible spot to rest, maintaining a stable routine, and providing a balanced diet. Regular grooming can help, too, as older cats might not be as agile when it comes to self-grooming.
Keep an eye out for any sudden changes in behavior, eating, or litter box habits, as these could be signs of more serious problems. Sudden weight loss, bloody urine, or difficulty breathing are clear indicators to seek veterinary attention promptly.
I’d love to discuss your cat’s health further and answer any other questions you might have. Consider booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet—we’re here to help you ensure your kitty enjoys their golden years with joy and comfort!

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
