**1. Pay attention to physiological changes and adjust the diet structure**

When cats enter the elderly stage over 10 years old, their body functions gradually decline, and problems such as slow metabolism, sensory degeneration, and joint stiffness begin to appear. At this time, scientific diet is the key to health management. It is recommended to choose high-protein, low-phosphorus, and easily digestible food for elderly cats, reduce carbohydrate intake to control weight, and prevent diabetes and kidney disease.

**2. Optimize life details and improve comfort experience**

Old cats have reduced mobility and need to reduce life pressure through detailed transformation. Place food bowls, water bowls, and cat litter boxes on the same floor to avoid frequent climbing; choose low-entry cat litter boxes and clean them daily to prevent excretion problems caused by inconvenience in movement.

**3. Create an aging-friendly home environment**

Old cats' vision and hearing decline make them sensitive to environmental changes. Lay anti-slip mats or short-haired carpets in areas where they often move to avoid slipping and falling. Add steps or slopes to high rest areas. In winter, warm cushions or constant temperature cat beds should be provided to keep away from direct cold wind.

**4. pay attention to emotional interaction and disease warning**

Old cats may become clingy or withdrawn, and need the owner's patient company. Closely observe changes in appetite, excretion, sleep and other habits. If vomiting, sudden weight loss or abnormal howling occurs, seek medical attention immediately, so that the cat can spend its old age with dignity in gentle company.

**Conclusion**

Caring for old cats is like caring for a cup of warm tea, which requires perseverance, meticulousness and warmth. Every careful adjustment is a silent confession to them.
