MONITORING YOUR CAT’S HEALTH    
A healthy cat is alert and curious about its environment and anything new it encounters. It has a good appetite, rarely overeats and is conscientious about its grooming.
 

Because cats tend to hide an illness, it is important to be alert for these warning signs:

1. hiding for more than 24 hours
2. loss of appetite
3. dull look to the eyes
4. dull, dry haircoat
5. cries listlessly
6. resents or resists handling
7. drinking excessive amounts of water or not drinking 8. the usual amount of water
9. excessive urination or straining to urinate
10. repeated vomiting
11. blood in urine
12. failing to use litter pan
13. prolonged or severe diarrhea
14. chewing at skin, haircoat or extremities.
