Frequently asked questions
Osteoarthritis is a condition that leads to pain and progressive degeneration of the joint. It affects many aspects of a cat’s life, including limited mobility, painful joints, and a poor quality of life.1 Cats are naturally good at hiding pain, so it’s important to look out for subtle signs like trouble walking or running, moving slower than normal, appearing stiff when first getting up, reluctance to play, and restlessness at night.

Osteoarthritis can affect all cat breeds and ages. While it’s more common in older cats, it can also develop in younger cats due to factors like injury or genetic predisposition. Certain breeds, such as Persians, Himalayans, Scottish Folds, Maine Coons, Devon Rex, and Abyssinians, are particularly prone to osteoarthritis due to specific body structures or genetic predispositions.
Although the disease cannot be cured your veterinarian can recommend treatments and a long-term plan to ensure your cat lives a pain-free life.
