Here are a few vet top tips

As our pets begin to reach senior age, they are likely to need some extra care and TLC while they live out their retirement years.
Not all cats will be the same in older age, but older cats often need a little extra care and attention as they enter their twilight years, generally they may need more rest and consideration for their aging paws, factoring in their environmental needs and diet.
PDSA Vet Nurse Shauna Walsh said: “All cat breeds and individual cats have differing life expectancies, just as there's no guarantee what age a human will live to. That said, some domestic cats can live to over 20 years old! During their lifetime they will go through different life stages, from kitten, young adult, mature adult to senior.
