Dementia in cats: How to recognise and support your cat
As cats age, subtle behavioural shifts can signal cognitive dysfunction, akin to human dementia. Early signs like disorientation, altered social interaction, and increased vocalisation require attention. Understanding the underlying neurological changes, such as amyloid-beta accumulation, helps in providing supportive care. Environmental enrichment, consistent routines, and veterinary guidance are crucial for managing FCD and enhancing your senior cat's well-being.
