Is your cat fond of sleeping beside you or cuddling with you? This endearing hobby of your cat does not have to be affected by osteoarthritis. You two can keep enjoying cuddle sessions and restful nights in bed if you set up a ramp or set of stairs that your cat can use to climb to your bed. Just ensure that the ramp or stairs are not excessively slippery or steep. Falling from a high place might worsen the condition of your cat.
The same procedure may be used for your cat's preferred elevated spots. Install a ramp or stairs to her favourite window perch if she enjoys seeing the birds outside. This way, your cat may keep admiring the wildlife that catches her attention.
Slip-resistant surfaces make your cat feel safer while walking. Many cats suffering from osteoarthritis have trouble balancing themselves on surfaces like tile, vinyl, or hardwood because they are slippery. Carpet treads, yoga mats, and rugs are typical slip-resistant surfaces you might consider installing in your house.
