It is very important to be aware of your cat's personality, as often behavioral changes in cats are later confirmed as illnesses. Your instincts are better than you think, and quite often you will be able to notice subtle behavioral changes in your cat. These are some of the ways to spot personality changes in your cat:
- Look for changes in eating habits, and a loss of appetite. More than a day without eating is cause for concern. However, if he is an outdoor cat, his appetite may be affected by his hunting prowess, or the neighbors' generosity.
- Often, changes in litter-box habits is really a sign of a health problem. Avoiding the litter-box, or using it more than normal could mean a problem. A cat with a urinary-tract infection, or feline diabetes, might break his normal litter-box habits.
- Changes in your cat's grooming habits could be an issue. If he is normally fastidious, but has recently looked unkempt, there could be a health problem. Grooming is one of the most important parts of a cat's routine, so if he is not taking care of his coat, he may not be well.
- Be aware of changes in your cat's drinking habits. He will probably drink more during the warmer months, and a little less during the cooler ones, but anything out of the ordinary might be an indication of illness.
- Since you most likely know the particular sounds of your cat, changes in your cat's voice, whether he is noisier than usual, quieter, or the sound is different, probably means something is going on.
