What are the signs that your cat is getting older?

Signs that your cat is getting older are: Firstly, the coat will become lighter and less shiny. Second: skin ageing. The most obvious place is the part of the fleshy pad of the paw, which looks rough to the touch. Shedding is severe and the skin flakes increase. Third: the teeth become dull. Teeth begin to fall out. Difficulty in tearing food. Fourth: prolonged sleep. Fifth: Changes in the eyes. The eyes of an ageing cat are gradually dull and lax, with little focus, as if they are not interested in anything. Sixth: Movement becomes sluggish and often bumps around. Seventh: Difficulty in defecation. Often constipated, or small, hard stools, or even straining to get out of the anus rectum.
