If your cat is becoming gray around the whiskers, a number of
products can help him adjust to the physical changes that come with getting older. Whether your senior cat needs a cozier napping spot or a gentler
grooming routine, a few basics can keep him active and content.
To smooth your cat's transition to
senior status, our friends at
Zootoo rounded up some of their favorite products to comfort aging cats.
Petco
If your aging cat shies away from his regular brush during grooming sessions, try the
Bristle Finishing Brush from Petco as an alternative. The plastic bristles of this brush are easier on sensitive scalps than wire bristles, and the product's design helps distribute healthy oils and stimulate skin without digging too deep into thinner coats. Cat owners will also appreciate the comfortable, easy-to-grip rubber handle.
Petkin
Cats accustomed to grooming themselves may find that hard-to-reach places become impossible to reach as they get older. If your aging cat has difficulty reaching certain spots because of physical limitations,
Deodorizing Kitty Wipes Instant Pet Bath from Petkin can help. The mildly scented wipes feature a nontoxic, no-alcohol formula that uses oatmeal, aloe vera and lanolin to moisturize and soothe senior skin.
