My Ailing Daughter, kind of!

It may sound weird saying my daughter has the symptoms of arthritis creeping up on her but not when you look how old she is, 10, in people years that is! In cat years she's probably about 60 or so but doesn't look a day over 3. She's been having a hard time lately jumping up on the bed and some of the chairs in the house and it's obvious she's having joint pain the way she favors her rear legs. Unlike humans, she has no way except by meowing and watching the way she moves, we have no way of knowing exactly how our pets feel. We can only guess and assume and then let the vet tell us that they're getting older, which we still deny when we look into their perky faces and bright eyes. I think I'm going to try one of those condroyton(spelling?) products for cats and see if that helps her at all. We'll see!
