How to Keep your Ageing Cat Thriving into Their 20’s

Oct 8, 2025 | Uncategorized

In this episode of the Paws and effect podcast, Dr Carra chats to Dr Petra Černá, internationally renowned feline medicine specialist and the much-loved “Crazy Cat Vet”. The topic is how to keep your ageing cats thriving.

Dr Černá brings not just expertise, but genuine passion (and plenty of cat stories) as she shares practical advice for caring for ageing cats.

In this lively episode, Dr. Černá reveals:

  • The real age when your cat becomes “senior” (hint: it’s earlier than you think!)
  • The top three health conditions to watch for in older cats, and how to spot subtle signs at home.
  • Genius tips for making vet visits less stressful for you and your feline.
  • Creative strategies for giving medications (even to stubborn cats!)
  • Must-know environmental changes to support your senior kitty’s comfort and wellbeing.

From recognising early signs of illness, to quality-of-life decisions and nutrition tips, Dr. Černá’s sparkling guidance is invaluable for every cat parent and feline-loving professional.
