Is Your Cat Trying to Tell You Something? Subtle Signs You Should Never Ignore
Cats are masters at hiding discomfort. In the wild, showing weakness could make them vulnerable—so even domesticated cats instinctively mask signs of illness or distress.
That’s why, as a cat owner, you need to pay close attention to small changes in behavior, appetite, and routine. These subtle clues can be your cat’s way of asking for help.
In this guide, we’ll explore the key warning signs you should never ignore and what they might mean for your cat’s health.
🧠 Why Cats Hide Illness
Unlike dogs, cats don’t openly show pain. Instead, they become quieter, withdrawn, or behave differently.
Even a minor shift in your cat’s normal routine can indicate an underlying issue—sometimes before visible symptoms appear.
🚨 Common Warning Signs Your Cat May Be Unwell
1. 🍽️ Loss of Appetite or Sudden Increase in Hunger
If your cat suddenly loses appetite or begins eating noticeably less than usual, it may be a sign of an underlying health issue.
This on-line company is such a good find. They provide quality products at a good price with delivering them efficiently. Definitely recommend purchasing from them.
Two sweet girlies decided to make our deck their home. Mosquitoes are a big problem where we live and we had to get them protected. This was the best bang for the buck. I’ve ordered from 79Pets several times and while delivery is not fast it is very consistent.
As a retired veterinary technician I was extremely happy to finally see a flea and heartworm medication that actually does tapeworms too!!!!!!! This is a 1st to my knowledge....I live in a tropical climate where fleas never die so this is heaven sent.
Great price, authentic quality and reliable shipping. Shipping takes a bit longer, since it is being shipped from abroad. But still a reliable service.
After Seresto collars failed to get rid of fleas, I didn't know where to turn. I saw a post on a page I follow (Kentucky Kitty Cats) saying that they use Nexgard Combo for the cats they shelter. I decided to try it and IT WORKS!
This is Lexi Marie! She was wondering why mom was so excited for buying flea medicine. I explained to her that we saved $100 and that she would understand some day when she grows up.
Last year, I made a visit to the vet. I told them that Kattie/cat had ear mites. They gave me an ointment costing $80canadian. I used it up and purchased another bottle. $160. total not including the cost of the vet visit. No results. The ear mites have been there for a long time. Canadian vets have control of what is sold in Pet stores and you cannot purchase off the shelf products not recognized by them.
I jumped at the chance to purchase your produce with a recommended 100% effectivity. I was willing to try, but was suspicions.
After a month there was still a little scratching but after 6 weeks, the mites are gone and the scratching is gone.
Thank you very much for this mite solution. I recommend it heartily. Harry
P.S. Do not tell the Canadian vets as they will outlaw your product.
