Sometimes it’s obvious when your cat needs medical attention. If, for example, a passing vehicle or stray dog causes trauma to your cat, you wouldn’t hesitate to rush her to the veterinarian. The same goes for a seizure, eye injury or severe allergic reaction.
Sometimes, however, the need for medical attention isn’t as apparent — but it may be just as important. If your cat just doesn’t seem to be herself, it could signal a more serious problem. This is why being tuned in to subtle changes in your cat’s body or behavior is crucial — such knowledge could save your cat’s life.
What should you watch for? Everything from missing fur to refusing the litter box could be cause for alarm — or not. We’ll help you sort out the differences beginning on the next page.

Interesting comment, Terri B.
I also have 5 cats and if you came into my house, you wouldn't even know I have any. No cat-box stink. This comment is from people who visit and don't realize I have kitties. Their words, not mine.
I guess to each their own, but I wouldn't be without my cats, even if they don't provide my with yummy eggs. They do, however, like to bring me a nice, fat mousie every now and then. So, in their own cat way they do contribute. They also give me so much love, and that's priceless.
Good info, thanks.
Informative, thank you!
thanks
