Typical signs of the ageing process
The ageing process in cats can manifest itself in a variety of ways. Cats that were once playful and active now spend more time sleeping. Their joints can become stiff and painful, making their movements slower and more restricted. They may also lose weight or muscle mass. Other symptoms such as poor hearing or vision, digestive problems and dental problems are common. These changes mean that ageing cats need special care and attention.
The influence of age on joints and mobility
As cats age, their joints become more worn and they often develop conditions such as arthritis. This can make them less active and may even cause them to withdraw from painful movements. This is where the right support from joint protection supplements can make a big difference. Felicox®-GR from NutriLabs has been specially developed to support the joints of older cats and promote their mobility. It contains natural ingredients that help to reduce inflammation and slow down the wear and tear on the joints.
Dietary adjustments for senior cats
An ageing cat also has different nutritional needs than when it was younger. Its digestion slows down and it often needs a more easily digestible food with a balanced amount of nutrients. Supplement products such as Felicox®-GR provide additional support by supplying the necessary nutrients that help to maintain joint health, reduce inflammation and promote general vitality.

Caring for ageing cats requires extra attention to ensure that they can continue to enjoy a good life despite the physical changes. In addition to the right diet and joint care, there are other measures that can make their everyday life easier and improve their quality of life.
