Cats hide almost everything, especially pain. That’s why it can be a serious health problem for your cat. You know your cat’s playful ways better than anyone, and changes in these behaviors could be signs of pain. Your veterinarian relies on you to report changes in your cat’s behavior for accurate diagnoses of problems. If your cat is showing signs of pain, talk to us as soon as possible.
This checklist will help us identify your cat’s activities and behaviors that might be signs of chronic pain or osteoarthritis (OA), a painful degenerative joint disease.
