Feline Musculoskeletal Pain
Certainly, cats slow down somewhat as they get older. But a lot of the slowing down you see in older cats is due to joint pain, making performing daily living activities more difficult to do, and making cats reluctant to do them. If you are wondering whether your cat is slowing down due to age, or whether there is joint pain present, consider answering the FMPI questionnaire.
