CATDOLL : How to prolong your cat's lifespan

Ways to prolong your cat's lifespan:

1. Make cats happy. Just like humans, cats' life span is also related to their mental health. If a cat is in a state of sadness, tension, and anxiety for a long time, its life span will definitely not be long. On the contrary, if a cat is in a happy state for a long time, lives happily every day, is in a better mood, is healthier, and naturally lives longer.

2. Cats don't need to go out for a walk, but they need exercise. Usually, pet owners can use cat teasers to play with cats, or do some exercises with cats to give cats some exercise. At the same time, they can also buy some interesting toys for cats to increase their exercise time at home. This can keep cats healthy and keep their body shape, and they are not easy to gain weight.

3. Vaccinate and deworm your cat regularly. Deworming can prevent parasites, and vaccination is an effective way to prevent major diseases such as feline infectious peritonitis and feline rhinorrhoea. Once these diseases occur, they will have serious or even irreversible effects on the health of cats.

4. Neuter your cat. Generally speaking, the average lifespan of intact cats is 12 years, while the average lifespan of sterilized cats is up to 14 years. In addition to extending the lifespan of cats, sterilization can also prevent them from suffering from diseases such as uterine pyometra, ovarian cysts, and testicular cancer.

Common diseases in cats:

1. Parasitic infection. Cats infected with parasites will experience vomiting, diarrhea, worms, and weight loss.

2. Ringworm in cats. It is mostly caused by fungal infection. After the infection, oval ringworm spots will appear on the affected area, covered with gray scales, and the fur color will become rough.
