@kim.cats.felin.ve: your cat will not tell you they're in pain. they're built to hide it, so by the time you can see it, it's usually been there a while. this is the list my vet gave me. save it and check your cat tonight ✅ 🚨 what to watch for 1️⃣ stopped jumping up: the counter, the windowsill, the bed. if the high spots go quiet, pushing off has started to hurt 2️⃣ a matted patch on the back: they groom everywhere they can reach. a patch they've given up on means twisting to reach it hurts 3️⃣ one spot licked bald: cats lick where it hurts. a bald patch is a map 4️⃣ hunched, feet tucked, tail tight: it looks like resting, but the whole body is braced 5️⃣ missing the litter box: climbing in hurts, so they go next to it. it's not bad behavior 6️⃣ hiding, no door greeting: a cat who always met you at the door and suddenly doesn't is telling you something ⚠️ one of these on its own can be nothing. two or three together, call your vet. cats hide pain on instinct, so if you can see it, don't wait for it to get worse i'm not a vet, i just write it down. food, litter, weight, the small stuff, i keep it all in Softpaw so i catch changes early instead of guessing when they started 🐾 which one would you have missed? tell me below 👇 and follow for more things every cat owner should know #catcare #cathealth #cattips #newcatowner #catsoftiktok
