No two cats are alike; this applies to both their fur and their behavior. You know their personality better than anyone, so you should watch carefully for changes in their attitude.
Cats tend to hide their discomfort, so we will tell you which behaviors are not normal
1. Changes in appetite
Loss of appetite or an increase in appetite can indicate health problems. If your cat stops eating for more than 24 hours, you should take it to the veterinarian.
2. Physical Symptoms
If you notice changes in their urine, such as the presence of blood, continuous vomiting, or diarrhea, you should take them to a veterinarian.
3. Changes in physical appearance
Allergies, parasites, or stress can cause excessive hair loss in specific areas. It is important to pay attention to the condition of their coat to be able to diagnose skin diseases early, but keep in mind that most cats have seasonal shedding, especially in spring and fall, which is normal and not painful.
It is also important to notice lumps on the body that do not decrease in size over time. If, on the contrary, you notice that they increase or remain the same, you should consult a doctor, as it can range from simple, easy-to-heal bruises to benign or malignant tumors.
If you notice a lump anywhere on your cat’s body, you should take it to a veterinarian.
4. changes in their personal hygiene
That your cat grooms itself excessively in a specific area or stops grooming altogether can indicate a health problem since cats are very clean animals and therefore spend most of their day cleaning their entire body.
