"Older cats often deal with stuff like arthritis, which can make them a bit stiff and less playful. Kidney disease is also pretty common, and it can sneak up on them. You might notice they drink more water or are peeing more often. Dental issues are another biggie since their teeth can get pretty nasty over time."

"When cats hit their senior years, they can start having problems like hyperthyroidism, which messes with their metabolism. You might see them eating a lot but still losing weight. Also, diabetes is something to watch for, and of course, there's always the risk of heart disease. Regular vet check-ups can really help catch these issues early."

"As cats age, they can develop a few health concerns. Things like kidney problems and high blood pressure are pretty common. You might also see them getting a bit forgetful or confused, which could be a sign of cognitive dysfunction. Keeping an eye on their weight and activity level is super important too!"
