The cat staggers around as if it is out of control

There are many reasons for a cat to be unstable and swaying, including being too old or the cat is sick. Both of these situations will cause your cat to become unstable.
If the cat suffers from diseases such as anemia or renal failure due to old age, and the cat becomes unsteady, it needs to go to the hospital for treatment in time.
If a disease causes the cat to become unsteady or stagger after standing up, it needs to be taken to the hospital for examination in time.

Too old

If your cat is too old, his body will become unstable, especially when he stands up, he is more likely to stagger.
For cats in this situation, the owner must first check whether he has fed the cat excessive nutrition or suffered from some disease.
If you are not sure whether these conditions exist, you need to take it to the hospital for examination in time.

For older cats, owners can feed them some calcium-rich nutrients such as Meowth to alleviate problems caused by bone aging.

 Physical diseases

If your cat is unsteady and only swaying, accompanied by vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy, etc., it is likely to be suffering from kidney disease, and kidney disease is divided into renal failure and kidney stones. Kidney disease is divided into chronic renal failure and acute renal failure. Both diseases can cause cats to become unstable.
Cats suffering from kidney disease will show symptoms such as unsteadiness, heavy steps, and shortness of breath when standing. This is caused by the inability of the kidneys to maintain normal blood oxygen concentration and metabolic functions.
Solution: If the cat is unstable due to kidney disease, the owner needs to take the cat to the hospital for treatment in time, and then cooperate with the pet doctor to conduct a comprehensive examination of the cat.
Of course, in addition to the two reasons mentioned above, there are other diseases that can also cause cats to become unstable.

Anemia and renal failure

When cats suffer from diseases such as anemia or renal failure, they may also become unsteady and stagger. This is mainly because anemia and renal failure can hinder the cat’s blood circulation.
In addition, cats suffering from these diseases may also gain weight or lose appetite, leading to anemia, malnutrition, loss of appetite, etc., and may also become unstable.
In response to the above problems, pet owners can prepare some nutritious and easy-to-digest and absorb foods for their cats in daily life, such as cat food, canned food, etc. In addition, you can also take your cat out for a walk or have more contact with cats in your daily life.
In addition, you also need to pay attention to observing the cat’s mental state and appetite on a daily basis.

If none of the above problems are solved, you need to take it to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

Other reasons

If a cat is physically ill, it may also shake and become unstable after standing up.
For some cats who suffer from some chronic diseases, it will also cause a decrease in their body balance ability, resulting in instability, staggering when walking, difficulty walking, etc.
Therefore, if your cat becomes unsteady or shakes after standing up, the cat can be taken to the hospital for examination and treatment first, and then the cat can be given nutritional supplements.

Other situations

If the cat appears physically weak and mentally lethargic, it may be that the cat is suffering from other diseases, such as leukemia, anemia, diabetes, etc.
In order to prevent the above situation in your own cats, it is best to take them to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, and do not self-medicate.
