What Every Cat Owner Should Know
Cats need more water than they drink
Most cats are chronically mildly dehydrated on dry food alone. Incorporating wet food can significantly improve kidney and urinary health.
Indoor vs. outdoor considerations
Indoor cats live significantly longer on average but need more active enrichment to prevent boredom and obesity.
Cats hide illness well
Cats are masters at concealing pain or illness. Regular vet check-ups and weight monitoring are the best early-warning tools.
