Cats, like humans, can develop arthritis, often known as osteoarthritis. It is a disease caused by joint ageing and degradation. Cats joints have natural cushioning that can wear out over time, resulting in unpleasant and difficult mobility.
Cats have cartilage in their joints, which allows them to move freely and painlessly. Their cartilage wears down and does not regenerate as well after a certain age. As a result, the bones in the joint are more likely to grind and become painful.
What do cat parents believe is the cause? Cats are not typically active, so activity and exercise don’t usually cause arthritis. Overweight, genetics problems, injuries, age can be a factor.
