Cats are masters of disguise when it comes to pain or illnesses. They don't like to show that they're sick or not feeling well, so sometimes you really have to pay attention to discover something is wrong. This can definitely be the case with feline arthritis. They may be hurting more than they are letting on so you may need to pay attention to certain signs.

Watch for things like limping, problems jumping, taking longer to get up and lay down. Some cats change their behavior as well with feline arthritis, for instance they may hide or show aggression more. It's important to give your arthritic cat a warm and soft place to sleep to help make her more comfortable. Also talk to your vet about supplements or pain management.

Cat eye problems can appear in any cat.  One of the most common problems is the appearance of cat eye infections.  These infections appear in cats caused by different factors, such as the presence of viruses, the presence bacteria and even the presence of fungus.

Conjunctivitis is the most common of these cat eye problems, it can be caused by a virus called Feline Herpevirus I or a bacteria called Chlamydiosis.  In the case it is viral, the treatment prescribed by a veterinarian is the use of special medicated eye drops.

Recognizing conjunctivitis involves recognizing these symptoms: eye irritation, inflammation in the eye, nasal discharge. If you suspect your cat is suffering from eye problems, you should take him immediately to the veterinarian. There are some cases where an eye infection can mean more than simple conjunctivitis.
