Some cats have always got something to say. But if your cat has suddenly become much more vocal, particularly if they're an older cat, it's worth taking notice.

Increased vocalisation, especially loud yowling at night in senior cats, is one of the most common signs of several treatable conditions: hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, anxiety or pain from arthritis. Owners often assume their older cat is "just being annoying" when there's actually something diagnosable and manageable behind the change.

In younger cats, increased meowing can also point to stress, changes at home, or seeking attention, but a noticeable change is still worth understanding, particularly when it appears alongside other shifts in behaviour or routine.

You know your cat's normal better than anyone. If their vocalisation has changed noticeably, book them in for a check.

Changes in your cat's bowel habits can tell you a lot about their health. Constipation is common in cats and can range from a minor issue to a significant health concern if left untreated.

Signs to watch for are repeated trips to the litter tray, straining, small or hard stools or no bowel movements at all. Some cats may also become less interested in food or seem uncomfortable.

Straining to pass stool can look similar to straining to urinate, but they're very different problems. Straining to urinate, particularly in male cats, can indicate a urinary blockage and is a genuine emergency. If you can't tell which is happening, don't wait, call us straight away.

In older cats, ongoing constipation is often linked to dehydration, which can be an early sign of kidney disease. It's worth mentioning at your next check-up even if it seems minor.

If your cat is struggling to pass stools or their bowel habits have changed, contact our team.

Cats can develop eye problems for many reasons and some conditions can worsen surprisingly quickly. Corneal ulcers, for example, can go from a mild squint to a serious problem within 24 hours, which is why eye changes shouldn't be left to see if they clear on their own.

Signs worth watching for include squinting or keeping one eye partly closed, redness, discharge, cloudiness in the eye, rubbing at the face, or sensitivity to light.

If you've noticed something different about your cat's eyes, book an appointment with our team.

This special boy is Cass. Cass is one of the earlier cats we treated for FIP (feline infectious peritonitis) as a kitten in 2021, and he has now been in remission for 5 years. We've loved being able to see Cass flourish and live life to the fullest!

When a cat starts coughing, it's easy to assume they're trying to bring up a hairball. But coughing in cats isn't normal. Unlike dogs, cats rarely cough for benign reasons, so repeated coughing is almost always worth investigating.

One useful distinction is that a hairball attempt usually ends with vomiting the hairball. If you've been assuming your cat is just "trying to bring up a hairball" but nothing ever comes up, that pattern is worth flagging.

Feline asthma involves inflammation and narrowing of the airways, which can make breathing more difficult. Signs include coughing, wheezing and changes in the way your cat breathes.

If your cat is coughing repeatedly, get in touch with our team. If your cat is struggling to breathe or breathing with an open mouth, this is an emergency, so seek veterinary attention immediately.
