Anyone that has ever owned a cat for any extended period of time

realizes the importance of being actively involved in promoting

good feline health. Even newcomers learn quickly that there is a

great deal of information to learn when it comes to taking care

of a cat. There are a number of ways in which you can be prepared

to take good care of your cat to try to avoid any problems down

the road.

The first priority to ensure optimal cat health is to find a

reputable feline veterinarian. A solid vet should specialize in

cat care and understand fully the ranges of diseases and ailments

cats are susceptible to having. Ask for recommendations from

other cat owners and schedule consultations interviews with

several doctors before deciding on one.

A good feline doctor will listen carefully to any and all

concerns regarding your cat and take the time to get to know your

pet. They will consider your input and guide you in the right

direction when it comes to caring for your cat. You should be

able to call your vet anytime that you suspect something might be

wrong with your cat and if it seems serious, you should be seen

as soon as possible.

If you don't feel your vet is giving you and your cat the time

and attention you deserve, then find a new one. After all, for

most people, cats are a member of the family; it's important

that they be well-taken care of by the outside entities you

entrust with their health.

Next, it's important to do some research on cat health and some

of the potential ailments and parasites you may have to contend

with at some point. Common feline parasites include roundworms,

mites and of course, fleas and ticks. Flea treatment is a huge

issue for cats, so it's important to stay current on whatever

flea prevention methods you choose.

More exotic breeds need to be cared for differently than the

average house cat. Moreover, like other animal types, each cat

comes with its own set of genetic issues. This is why it is so

important to do thorough research on the type of cat you have as

well as present a variety of questions for the breeder or person

that provided the cat to you. Understanding the cat's past, as

well as the medical history of its parents, is the best way to

plan for potential health problems for your furry companion.

Maintaining good cat health is a commitment. Cats can live for

close to 20 years, as long as they are taken care of properly.

You must have a plan in place for how to care for your cat ---

including designating another person to participate in the health

care of your cat, in the event that something happens to you.
