After that, however, their growth rate slows, and each year is roughly equal to four human years. By the time your cat is 10, he\u2019s about 53 in human years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>When is a Cat a Senior?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The American Academy of Feline Practitioners, a national society of feline veterinarians, classifies any cat over the age of 11 as a senior. However, most cats begin to show signs of aging between the ages of 7 and 10.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your cat lives beyond the age of 15 (or 73 in human years), he\u2019ll be considered a \u201csuper-senior.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3812 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image5-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3812 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image5-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image5-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image5-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image5-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image5.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/noscript><\/h2>\n<h2><b>Adopting a Senior Cat<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adopting a senior cat is a beautiful choice, and one that will be infinitely rewarding for both you and your new pet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, older cats tend to be overlooked at shelters. Potential adopters may fear health or temperament issues, or worry that they won\u2019t get as many years with an older cat as they would with a kitten. In fact, these fears are often misguided, and there are many benefits to adopting a senior cat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For one, adult cats have developed their personalities. Shelter staff can\u2019t possibly know all of the quirks of a growing kitten, but there will be far less guesswork involved with an older cat. Adult cats have likely been exposed to other animals and children, and it should be clear what kind of home environment they\u2019d be most comfortable in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3808 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3808 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, older cats are usually more relaxed. Kittens have a lot of energy, and they\u2019ll require a lot of energy from you in turn! They can be messy and destructive as they learn and grow. This can be fun for some families, but if you\u2019re looking for a chilled-out kitty, then adopting a senior is a great choice. Laid-back senior cats are also more likely to snuggle and seek affection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re worried about an older cat\u2019s health, the good news is, modern veterinary science can tackle many of the most common problems in older cats. Senior cat care is not as challenging as you may think. Taking your senior cat to the vet once every six months rather than once a year may be all you need to do to keep his health in check.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, adopting a senior pet is just a kindhearted thing to do. No animal should spend their golden years lonely and waiting for a home. Senior cats have just as much love to offer as their kitten sheltermates, and they\u2019ll be so grateful to you for taking a chance on them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Senior Cat Care<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Food for Senior Cats<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior cats do not need as many calories as growing kittens or active adults, but they certainly need to keep up on important nutrients. Much like older humans, senior cats need plenty of protein but should watch their sodium consumption. It may seem like a lot to keep track of, but thankfully, you don\u2019t have to do it on your own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3809 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3809 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image2-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brands like Hill\u2019s Science Diet, NutriSource, and other leading cat food brands offer plenty of balanced formulas for your senior cat\u2019s needs. Leave the calculations to the experts and pick up a bag of senior formula cat food at your local pet store. If your cat has any special dietary needs, you can always consult your vet for more specific guidelines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Senior Cat Supplements<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like humans, cats can combine their daily food intake with additional supplements to improve their overall health. Supplement offerings for senior cats look a lot like those for senior humans, because they have many similar needs! Common concerns for senior cats include joint health, gut health, and vitamin intake. Sound familiar?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before purchasing supplements for your senior cat, check in with your vet about your pet\u2019s health. A great time to do this is at your senior cat\u2019s next checkup. If you have specific concerns\u2013like joint issues\u2013be sure to mention those.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Toys for Senior Cats<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, they\u2019re more relaxed than younger cats, but senior cats still like to play! In fact, age-appropriate play is great for your senior cat\u2019s physical and mental wellbeing. Play can decrease the risk of weight gain, improve oral health, and keep their minds active well into old age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3810 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3810 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image3.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep your senior cat moving, consider catnip toys or wand toys. Both toys allow your cat to choose their level of exertion. Catnip toys offer a chance for independent pay, plus that fun and relaxing catnip \u2018high.\u2019 With a wand toy, you can be a part of playtime, too. Pay attention to your senior cat\u2019s physical signals as you play. If he starts to slow down or show disinterest, put the toy away for now and give him some affection to thank him for a fun play session.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For oral health, consider toys he can chew on. Mesh cat toys are great for keeping feline teeth clean. The mesh scrapes off plaque to improve gum health and breath. Dental chew sticks are another way to keep your cat stimulated while keeping his teeth sparkling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For mental stimulation, keep some puzzle toys around the house. Some puzzle toys have a treat at the center, so when your cat solves it, he earns a tasty reward. Ball track toys allow your cat to push a ball around with his paws. He can figure out how to get it around the track and enjoy watching it roll.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Senior Cat Litter Boxes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if he\u2019s had perfect bathroom habits his entire life, your cat may struggle with the litter box in his later years. This can happen for many reasons, but it\u2019s often caused by certain health problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joint problems occur in about 3 in 10 older cats. Unsurprisingly, aching joints make it tough for senior kitties to step in and out of a litter box. If you have a senior cat, consider getting a litter box with low walls that are easier to step over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3811 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image4-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3811 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image4-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image4-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image4-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mightypet.net\/staging\/7056\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image4.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your cat\u2019s litter box is a good size and height, but they\u2019re still struggling to use it, you may want to get him checked for kidney problems, thyroid problems or diabetes. All of these conditions are fairly common in older cats and can make it harder to use the bathroom appropriately. Thankfully, with proper treatment, you can help your cat get back to normal and avoid future messes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Discover the Joy of Senior Cat Care With Mighty Pet in Menominee, MI<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here at Mighty Pet, we like to think of our pets\u2019 lives as seasons.
