My Cat Is Completely Healthy!


Yes, my lovely cat is completely healthy and active physically and mentally. Apparently it seems difficult to raise such claim that my pet is healthy, strong and muscular and not having any illness at all. Believe it! It is easier. To determine the health and fitness level of your cat, you should examine your pet in the following ways.

1. Strong immune system shows your pet is internally strong and hard enough and have excellent resistance power against diseases. Observe this factor by the alertness of your cat, good energy and activity level. Normal healthy skin and strong muscles of your cats also show that they have powerful immune system.

2. Ideal body condition also shows your cat is healthy. It is easier to determine by feeling the ribs of your cat and see the waistline keenly.


3. Your cat’s teeth and gums should be free of plaque and tarter. Ensure the dental health of your pets by regular visit to the vet.

4. Strong bones and healthy joints make sure to maintain the health of your cats. Assessment of healthy bones and joints can be made through the animal’s ability to perform routine tasks, easy movements, active posture, and high interest in indoor and outdoor games.

5. Fine and smooth skin, bright eyes and shiny coat of cats clearly show that your pet is normal and healthy.

6. Digestive system of your pet should be healthy and efficient and this can easily be judged through the volume and quality of animal’s stool.

  • Swallowing foreign objects like sharp bones, towels, corn corbs, etc, by your pets can cause the irritation of stomach.
  • Parasite infections that include hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms also lead to vomiting and diarrhoea in the animals.

Blood in Stool of the Pet:
If your pet releases blood in stools, it means, your pet needs to see the vet.

2. Lack of Appetite
A marked reduction or absent of appetite in your dogs and cats may be due to fever, pain or stress. So, a persistent behavior of not eating food for a long time, you must bring your animal to the veterinarian.
