The Senior Cat Care Guide : Health, Comfort & Quality of Life for Cats Over 10

Is your cat over 10 — and are you unsure what to watch for?

Senior cats don't show pain the way dogs do. They quietly hide kidney decline, joint disease, and hyperthyroidism for months before symptoms are obvious. By then, up to 70% of organ function can already be lost.

This expanded edition gives you the knowledge to catch problems early, act confidently, and give your aging cat the highest possible quality of life.

WHO THIS IS FOR

─────────────────────────────

Cat owners whose cat is 10 or older — especially those who want to go beyond basic vet visits and truly understand what's happening inside their aging companion's body.

WHY THIS GUIDE IS DIFFERENT

─────────────────────────────

Most cat care books cover all ages. This one is written entirely for senior and geriatric cats — the biology is different, the diseases are different, and the care priorities are different. It draws on the same IRIS staging system that veterinary professionals use, explains lab results in plain language, and includes real-world owner stories throughout.

Over 30% of cats over 10 have chronic kidney disease. 90% of cats over 12 have arthritis. Most owners never know until it's advanced — because cats hide it so well.

This guide changes that.
