Arthritis in Cats: It's Not Just Old Age

Did your cat stop jumping onto the bed? Are they sleeping more, grooming less, or suddenly avoiding the litter box? Many cat owners assume these are normal signs of aging—but they may actually be signs of chronic pain.

In this episode of Cat Talk Radio, Molly DeVoss explores feline arthritis, one of the most common—and most overlooked—medical conditions affecting cats. Learn why approximately 60% of cats over six years old and nearly 90% of cats over twelve have arthritis, why cats are so good at hiding pain, and how discomfort can lead to behavior changes like aggression, litter box avoidance, reduced activity, and withdrawal.

You'll also learn:
• The most common joints affected by arthritis
• Why declawed cats often develop arthritis and bone spurs earlier
• How arthritis develops from years of normal feline activity
• Treatment options available through your veterinarian
• Simple home modifications that can make a big difference
• Nutritional support, including Omega-3 fatty acids and Buddy Biotics Joints + Hips for proactive joint health

Your cat can't tell you they're hurting—but their behavior might be saying it loud and clear.
