So, how often do cats need to go to the vet? One of the best ways to ensure your cat stays healthy is with an annual check-up. Yearly examinations can help avoid medical emergencies and set a baseline for body and muscle condition.
Between check-ups, it’s important to be aware of your cat’s health and stay vigilant for any signs of illness. It’s a cause for concern when your adult cat hasn’t eaten in more than 24 hours, or if kittens younger than 6 weeks old have not eaten in 12 hours. Make an appointment with your veterinarian immediately if this occurs.
Some veterinary clinics have found ways to make their practices more “cat friendly”. This may include separate feline examination rooms, waiting areas, and entrances.
