Mature Pussi

Up to 90% of senior cats show radiographic signs of arthritis, yet many owners mistake stiffness for “just slowing down.” A mature pussi with arthritis may avoid jumping, be reluctant to go up or down stairs, or show irritability when touched along the spine. Management includes joint supplements (glucosamine, omega-3s), pain medications (never human NSAIDs – they are toxic to cats!), ramps, and heated beds.
