Is your cat healthy? 4 common signs of a healthy feline friend

 


As a fur pet parent, you undoubtedly know your cat's personality and quirks—its favorite things, habits and even mood swings. And while you might think that you can automatically tell if your furry friend is sick or healthy, it's always a good idea to have a checklist of basic signs that your little pal is in top shape.

 

Let’s look at some useful pointers from Goodest, the a-fur-dable wet cat food brand, to help you know if your whisker friend is happy, and healthy.

 

1.    Your cat is well-groomed

Checking your cat’s grooming condition is a good start.   Make sure your cat’s eyes aren’t cloudy or unfocused, without any crusty buildup around the area. Then, check its ears and teeth to make sure they’re nice and clean! Ears should be free of discharge and odors too, with a nice pink color, not red or irritated. Take a good look at its teeth from time to time, there shouldn’t be much tar buildup. A healthy cat should also have smooth fur that’s rich in color and free of flakes and mats. Your cat's skin should be free of scabs, redness, or signs of flea infestation, and its fur should feel fluffy and shiny without matting or patches of hair loss.

 

2.    Your cat is active and loves to play

Whether you have a kitten or a senior cat, one of the most basic signs that it’s healthy is if your four-legged friend is interested in jumping around, chasing its favorite toy, or just running around the house. After all, getting enough exercise and having an active lifestyle is an important part of helping your kitty live a healthy life. Taking a short walk, or giving your cat its favorite toys can be one of the best ways to keep your cat happy and always excited.

 

3.    Your cat purrs a lot

Cats may not be unable to express how they feel in words, but your cat’s body language speaks volumes about how he’s feeling. Happy cats purr when they feel content. This happens often while they are getting a back scratch, but sometimes, a happy cat will purr just because it’s comfortable in their environment. If this describes your cat, then rest assured, she is one happy, healthy kitty!

 

4.    A good and hearty appetite

A cat that’s always eager to eat during meal time is one happy and healthy feline. Healthy cats enjoy eating and will typically show enthusiasm at meal times by rubbing against your legs and guiding you to where food is typically served. As a fur parent, you know how important it is to stimulate your cat’s appetite to keep them happy and healthy.  One great way to do this is to give them cat food with different tastes and textures, A great and affordable option is   Goodest Cat which not only provides balanced and proper nutrition, but also comes in 3 flavors – Tender Tuna, Chicken Chomp, and Meaty Mackerel!  This extra scrumptious and a-fur-dable meals-in-a-pouch is made with only the freshest ingredients that your cat will surely love – enriched with vitamins and minerals for complete nourishment.
