Cats with osteoarthritis experience pain when they do something which involves the infected part of their body. It might be difficult for them to jump from a high altitude or use the litter tray. When owners discover that their pets suffer from this condition, they immediately do what they can to help them. Luckily, there are many ways to do this.
One thing you can do to help your cat with OA is to adjust the height and location of her litter tray. Cats with OA find it challenging to transfer from one place to another. It is a good idea to set up more than one litter tray so that when your cat feels the call of nature, she can go to the nearest litter tray. When trays are inaccessible, cats will have no choice but to poop or pee anywhere. Also, if you notice that the height of the tray is too high for your arthritic cat, trim its legs or replace it with a shorter one.
