Pet anxiety

[Larii]

I get really anxious when it comes to the health of my two cats. I'm always looking to see if their breathing rate is normal or if they're losing weight or how their appetites are. I've lost count of how many times I've thought they had heart disease, kidney failure, diabetes etc. I just hate the thought of them being diagnosed with an untreatable disease right now I'm worried my boy cat has some illness based on a vague symptom..he probably doesn't but I can't help worrying anyway

Larii, what are the ages of your two cats, and how long have you had them as pets?

One is 6, and I'm not sure of the other one's age but I think shes 7 or 8

Very understandable I'm like this also.

Do you take your cats to the vet for regular checkups?

Several years ago when I started an aquarium, I got pretty anxious about whether I was doing the right thing for my fish. I think doing too much research on the Internet exacerbated it, because there's lots of conflicting advice out there.

People love their pets.

Although it is possible for illnesses to happen to your cats, its not very likely to occur, you need to have a more optimistic mindset towards your cats. Its a remedy that will help you in the future. Cats do not develop illnesses as quick and easy like you and i. They do die earlier though. The life span of most animals is lower than humans. The strength of a cat is around 15 years i think. You may have to google it.
