Cat health

Cats deserve their own kind of care.

Cats hide illness, drink too little, and are prone to urinary and kidney trouble — so their health needs a different lens, not a smaller version of a dog's. Start with what you're noticing.

A cat that hasn't eaten for a day, or a male cat straining to urinate, needs a vet quickly — don't wait it out.

Cats in India

Indoor cats, Indian homes

High-rise balconies, heat that suppresses drinking, and multi-cat apartments all shape feline health here.

Environmental guidance and clinical observation — not disease-prevalence claims.

What Indian vets see
"Owners often wait too long with cats because cats hide it so well. A cat skipping food for a day, or a male cat in and out of the litter tray, is something I want to see quickly — not next week."
