Every owner will have cat health questions from time to time. Short of calling a vet or paying for an expensive visit every time a little issue crosses your mind, you have to find resources that will give you answers directly. Cats are a pleasure to have in the home, but their health must be looked after just as any other animal requires.

You are probably already familiar with the most basic issues of cat health. You likely know how to look after the litter box so it remains sanitary and smell free, but are you aware of some of these other health issues?

Are pain medications safe for a cat?

If your cat were to somehow get injured and appeared to be in severe pain, what would you do? This is a common issue with cat owners, because this species of pet is very good at hiding signs of pain. Some pets actually have to be in severe pain for it to really be obvious, but you can assume there is pain if they are less active, hiding, or just not acting like themselves after an accident or mishap of some sort.

The good news is there are some specific pain killers that are safe for cats as long as they are given in the right dosage and at the right intervals. If you think your cat is in pain take them to the vet and never try to medicate them on your own.

Can felines give a disease to humans?

It is hard for many owners to even entertain the idea that their beloved pet could actually pass a disease or health condition to their own body. The truth is there are some feline diseases and conditions that can in fact be passed to humans.

So, does this mean cats living inside the home are unsafe or unsanitary? Absolutely not! It just means that you have to take proper care of your cat to ensure everyone stays healthy and disease free. Proper care includes looking after the litter box so it is always sanitary, bathing and grooming your pet regularly, and taking them in for all of the required vaccinations and health checks with a licensed vet.

How long will my cat live?

A feline is not going to live anywhere near as long as a human, but they are living longer in modern times than they did in the past. There are some cats living twenty or more years thanks to owners keeping them properly vaccinated and well cared for.

The average life span for a cat is around nine years, but if you are properly caring for your cat do not be surprised if your feline friend survives much longer than that.

The trick to living many years of happiness with your cat is to familiarize yourself with cat health questions that many owners remain unaware of. Proper care is the key to health and a long life span.
