Cats have a way of hiding any pain they’re feeling. This ability probably stems from the fact that in the wild, felines that look sick or injured are easy targets for predators. There may not be any predators in your home, but your kitty might feel compelled to follow her instincts anyway. It’s up to you to figure out how to tell if your cat is in pain. 

But you don’t have to do it alone. The team at Cat Care of Vinings would like to share tips for identifying and treating cat pain.

You can take your cat to a vet, or you can take your cat to Cat Care of Vinings. When you bring your pet in to see us, you can rest assured that we are providing the best and  most current care with a loving touch. With accreditations from AAHA, Fear Free, and the American Association of Feline Practitioners, you are in good hands.

At Cat Care of Vinings, we simply can’t get enough of your pawsitively fabulous felines! And in honor of “Adopt a Shelter Cat Month,” we’re here to extol all the glorious benefits of adopting a shelter cat.

Let’s face it, cats are curious, adorably playful, and sometimes a tad mischievous, which means they can get themselves into some sticky situations. Being prepared for a cat emergency and knowing how to administer pet first aid can keep a minor injury from escalating into something major. 

Your cat relies on you to keep him safe. Thankfully, taking a little time to educate yourself and be sure that you are taking proper precautions isn’t terribly difficult. Hazards for cats are everywhere, but Cat Care of Vinings is here to help you steer clear.

When they aren’t in tip-top shape, however, they might try to hide symptoms (and they’re pretty successful at this, at least for a time). When you have the ability to know when your cat is sick, you can intervene immediately. Since time is of the essence in most feline ailments, a quick assessment and action could save a cat’s life.

Cats are fastidious creatures, and it may seem counterintuitive that they need our help to stay tidy. Our feline housemates do rely on us for many things, though, and Cat Care of Vinings knows that pet parents everywhere will be grateful to better understand our top three reasons cat grooming is so important.

When supported, each facet of feline wellness contributes to the larger picture of cat health. Nutrition, exercise, environmental enrichment, disease prevention, and safety are all critical, but without routine cat dental care, all other aspects of health are potentially compromised.

By the time we get even a faint whiff of kitty breath, plaque and tartar have already launched their attack.
