Senior Cat Comfort: Home Modifications

Understanding Senior Needs

Cats age 10+ often face arthritis, vision changes, and reduced mobility. Simple modifications keep them comfortable and independent.

Mobility Aids

• Ramps or steps to favorite spots
• Low-entry litter boxes
• Non-slip rugs on smooth floors
• Heated beds for arthritic joints

Food and Water

Raise bowls to reduce neck strain. Place resources on every level. Shallow wide bowls prevent whisker fatigue.

Vision and Hearing

Keep furniture layout consistent. Use nightlights for dim vision. Approach from the front so you dont startle a hearing-impaired cat.
