Your CAT will tell you when it's sick. Well, it won't really speak to you, but you'll know. By being completely in touch with your cat on a day-to-day basis you will notice major and subtle changes in its behavior.

While these changes can indicate a health problem, they can also be normal changes that occur throughout your cat's life. SO, pay attention to these changes until you can accurately determine the causes. And establish a good relationship with a Veterinarian.

What About Veterinarians?

You will find that most Vets are friendly, patient, understanding of your situation, and competent. But, here are some points to consider:

• Are YOU comfortable with the Vet? Most clinics and hospitals have several attending Vets, so when you get one you like make sure that you can continue to see him or her. Switching from Vet to Vet is not good for your CAT, emergencies notwithstanding.
• Observe the condition of the clinic. Is there a Professional atmosphere, or a State of confusion? What about equipment? Is every examining room stocked, or are folks running in and out borrowing this and that? Are there operating facilities? Do they provide emergency service, or are they connected to an emergency service network? Do they have availability to Specialists? And do they import these specialists when necessary for certain illnesses, diagnoses, surgeries? Or, must your CAT go to them?
• Talk with other pet owners, and ask for their recommendations.

And, don't be afraid to talk to the Vet. Ask how he or she feels about animals, do they have a preference for one species or another. Watch how he or she handles your CAT and watch how you CAT allows the VET to handle him or her. If you aren't satisfied with the treatment of yourself and your CAT, move on to another VET. You'll be relying on this individual's knowledge, care, and treatment for your CAT. If you're uncomfortable--search until you're not!
