Unfortunately, your cat can't tell you when he/she is sick like a child might.  If your cat could speak, you would always know exactly what hurt, when to go to the vet, and how to treat any minor ailments yourself.  But communication is possible if you watch and listen carefully, so as cat guardians you must be especially perceptive to notice any health problems and figure out what to do next.  Our Health and Care InfoCenter strives to bring you up-to-date and quality information on all major aspects of cat health and care. If you can not find what you are looking for here, submit your question to the "Kitty Nurse" for a fast and accurate answer.

Our Health and Disease web server is paid for by donations from caring and concerned guardians and cat-lovers worldwide. If you would like to see 21Cats continue our research into Health and Disease issues please consider a tax-deductible donation today.
