The Lazy Cat Team
Cats age quietly. A jump that used to be effortless takes a second look. Naps get longer. Grooming the lower back becomes harder. None of this is a reason to worry, but it is a reason to adjust.
Make the space easier
- Low platforms or steps up to favorite spots
- Soft, non-slip surfaces
- Food, water and litter on the same level
- A warm, quiet place to rest away from foot traffic
Handle gently
Older joints can be sore. Support the back legs when you lift, and keep brushing sessions short and frequent rather than long and occasional.
Keep an eye on the basics
Changes in appetite, thirst, weight or litter habits are worth mentioning to your vet. Regular check-ups matter more as cats get older.
Senior cats who benefit from low platforms and gentle handling.
Senior guests at Lazy Cat
We create individualized care plans for every cat, including seniors. Grooming for older guests uses extra-gentle handling, and cats on medication or special diets follow the schedule you give us, with every dose logged and reported to you.
