Knowing whether your cat is in pain and understanding what you can do to help manage that pain are important steps to keep your pet healthy and happy.
Identifying pain in your cat
Sometimes, caring for your pet would be so much easier if they could just tell you, in words, how they feel or what they need. Unfortunately, the way pets communicate with us is not quite as obvious as that. But when you know what to look for and how to "read" their behaviour, it's easier to understand what may be going on with your pet and when they need your assistance.
