How to judge whether the kitten you just got is healthy? Is there any hidden disease? Let the editor tell you that you can know whether the cat is healthy by observing the following six aspects.

1. Eyes

The eyes are bright, do not shed tears, do not have any secretions, and the left and right eyes are the same size.

2. Ears

The ears are clean and erect (except Scottish flat-eared cats), with little or no earwax and no other foreign matter. A healthy cat should be sensitive to the owner's call or other sounds in a quiet state, and its ears will swing back and forth after hearing the sound. Sick cats or deaf cats have weak or no response to sounds.

3. Nose

The front of the nose should be moist and cool, without excessive secretions. When the nose is dry, it indicates that the cat may be suffering from a thermal disease (such as an infectious disease). However, cats’ noses are dry when they sleep.

4. Oral cavity

The area around the mouth should be clean and dry, free of saliva and food, and free of bad breath. The gums, tongue, and palate should be pink, and the teeth should be white or yellowish, with no missing teeth.

5. Skin and coat

The skin is soft and elastic, the skin temperature is neither cold nor hot, and it is gentle and comfortable to the hand. The coat is thick, soft and shiny, with no bald spots and no redness or lumps on the skin. Free of lice, fleas and other parasites.

6. Anus

The anus and external genitalia should be clean and free of secretions, and there should be no fecal dirt on the nearby coat. If it is extremely dirty, it may indicate diarrhea or reproductive system diseases.

In addition, functional examinations of internal organs should be done to determine whether the cat has organ diseases.
