You begin to notice subtle signs of your cat aging, but why does this make you feel sad?

Watching your feline friend slowing down, eating less and sleeping more if usually accompanied by a feeling of sadness for us.

Learning how to cope with and understand that you cat’s aging is a natural process, just as it is with people.

Preparing yourself mentally and emotionally are the best tools you can use to cope with the impending loss of your cat.

Talk to your veterinarian about health issues that will arise with your aging cat, signs to look for and discuss final arrangements (what to do with the body and such).

Being prepared and knowing in advance what to expect in the coming months/years and what to do what the day does arrive will help you cope with your loss.
