Health Care TipsHelping our furry felines have a long happy life

Cats like to spend time with you…until they don’t.
Despite their common preference for solitude, cats can be great companions. To keep your cat healthy, it’s important to understand its normal behaviors and preferences.
Here at Cherokee Animal Hospital, we love cats, and we want to help you keep your kitty healthy and happy.
Common Problems & Behavior
Visit the areas below for more information about Cat health and wellness.

Cat Behavior
Cats are naturally territorial. They still have an instinctive need to protect their territory and hunt for prey. They may not look like it but their indoor lifestyle can lead to a lot of stress.

Sick Kitty Problems
Some illnesses come on overnight, while others develop over days and months. The signs tend to be subtle at first, but the earlier we identify the problem, the more we can do to help.

Feline Potty Problems
Urinary problems are one of the most common issues that cat owners must face. Cats can have urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and other diseases that cause them to have potty problems.

Fun Feeding Tips for Cats
The Pipolino
A cat feeding system that they think is a toy. You control how much food they eat and they have to work to get it out. This entertains and stimulates the hunting instinct while taking care of the tummy too.
The Maze Food Bowl
Made for dogs but cats can play too. Cats can use their paws to chase the food out of the maze. Similar games have been made at home using different size pill bottles glued down to a wood surface. The food gets sprinkled between the tubes so the cat has to their paws to dig the food out. Very entertaining… for everyone!
