Keep your adult cat healthy, content, and thriving with our comprehensive wellness guide for their prime years.
Even healthy cats should see a vet at least once a year for preventive care:
Cats need mental and physical stimulation to stay healthy and happy:
15-30 minutes daily with interactive toys
Cat trees and perches for climbing and surveying
Multiple scratching surfaces throughout home
Access to windows for bird watching
Slow feeding and mental stimulation
Boxes and cozy hideaways for security
Cats are obligate carnivores - choose meat-based, age-appropriate food
Feed measured portions 2-3 times daily to maintain healthy weight
Cats often prefer running water - consider a cat fountain
Many human foods are toxic to cats including onions, garlic, chocolate
