Cats have a fairly long life expectancy. At Kirkwood Animal Hospital, the oldest feline patient was 29 years old. Dr. Benedick initially saw this cat just a few weeks after Kirkwood Animal Hospital opened, making it among the facility's earliest patients.

You have several important choices to make when deciding whether to get a cat. Your decisions will probably have a big impact on how well you and your new cat get along. Your choice of housing will be the most important one. Will you keep your cat indoors, outside, or a combination of the two? In any case, Kirkwood Animal Hospital will make sure you have a wonderful life with your new furry family member.

There are several extremely significant factors to take into account whether you choose indoor or indoor/outdoor. Dogs are significantly more distant from their wild forebears than cats are. They possess some inclinations and routines that might put a lot of strain on your bond with your cat. The relationship you have with the pet, as well as a lot of your house, could be ruined by these innate habits.

Cats that are properly accustomed to living indoors are wonderful pets, but cats that are not may display habits that are damaging to the home of the pet owner.




*Inappropriate habits are frequently the cause of cats being abandoned, released into the wild, or even needlessly put to death.


At Kirkwood Animal Hospital, the vets have together treated and looked after cats for more than 100 years. The goal of Kirkwood Animal Hospital is to aid cat owners in avoiding the actions that lead to relinquishment.
