When does old age actually occur in cats: not even all food manufacturers know the correct answer
Age-related changes do not bypass any living creature on our planet.
Therefore, it is extremely important to calculate the moment that will be the starting point of the pet’s real old age.
Thanks to this, the cat can be provided with correct care that can increase life expectancy. However, experts note that sometimes even food manufacturers, who should understand this issue, cannot correctly determine the correct moment of old age.
What moment can be called real old age?
If you look closely at packages of food intended for senior pets, you will notice that the starting point is often given as seven years of age.
This is a mistake.
At seven or eight years of age, the animal is in its prime, so it does not need food for older pets.
Depending on the characteristics of the breed, old age occurs between 12 and 15 years.
It is worth understanding that with proper care, the animal can live more than 20 years.
Age-related changes are mainly characterized by a general decrease in activity and deterioration in health. That is why you have to buy specialized food.
