Does Your Cat Have Cancer? Expect These 6 Things to Happen

Mar 15, 2023by Suzie Cyrenne

Finding out that your feline family member has cancer is no doubt one of the toughest experiences a cat parent can ever go through.

However, knowing the things to expect should your pet be affected with cat cancer will help you deal with this disease in a much more strategic way. Make sure you read on because I’m going to walk you through them in just a few moments.

 

Why Detecting the Symptoms of Feline Cancer can be a bit Tricky

While this may sound surprising, cancer in cats is deemed so common that 1 in 5 felines will be eventually diagnosed with this disease. But perhaps the most challenging part of spotting its indicators is the fact that cats are very skilled in hiding them—literally.

Apart from lurking under pieces of furniture, a cat going through cancer will tend to be more and more elusive. These animals are inherently adept at concealing any signs of sickness and discomfort, which can be remarkably observed when feline cancer strikes.

This is the reason why spending even just a few minutes bonding with your precious pet is important to help you examine his skin, coat, limbs, face and other body parts that usually give a hint as to whether he may be suffering from cat cancer.

The Things to Expect when a Cat has Cancer

Like I pointed out earlier, your feline family member will be very good at concealing any signs of pain and discomfort that can be associated with cancer in cats. But the thing is there are some very significant signs that you should take note of.

So without further ado, here are the things that you should expect when your cat is afflicted with feline cancer:

#1: Increased hiding and skulking will be the new norm.

While felines tend to be really independent, a cat with cancer will exhibit a demeanor that can be easily described as reclusive. Besides spending most of his time hiding in places like under the furniture and in between house plants, your pet will also choose to be alone even if you entice him with his favorite toys and treats.

Additionally, make it a point to regularly check pieces of furniture like cabinets and other storage areas since your pet can inadvertently get stuck inside them during this time.

#2: Your cat won’t be as receptive to cuddling and other interactive activities.

No matter how gently or lovingly you go at it, a cat with cancer will almost always refuse to be held or hugged. The easiest explanation for this is that he may be experiencing some form of pain and discomfort, which may be aggravated by mere touch, especially in the areas where the cancer has affected or spread to.

#3: A stinky breath that gets worse each passing day.

Some forms of cancer in cats, particularly those that strike at the oral and nasal regions, can cause sores and blisters that trigger bad breath. Compared to normal bad breath, though, the ones set off by cancer are more prominent and cannot be remedied by oral rinses and brushing.

#4: Bathroom routines are much more different than before.

Although the presence of bowel movement issues like constipation and diarrhea are not automatic indicators that a cat is going through cancer, their frequency will significantly increase if a feline is afflicted with the disease. Persistent vomiting can also be observed in this scenario.

#5: Unexpected weight loss that becomes more and more discernible.

Weight loss is a common symptom that your cat may be suffering from an underlying health issue. However, it becomes remarkably persistent when feline cancer is involved. What’s really alarming about this is your cat will still remarkably lose a lot of weight even if his daily food intake stays the same.

This is the biggest reason why bolstering your feline family member’s immune system health is a priority during cancer. I’ll get you in on a straightforward approach to pull this off using natural means in a bit.

#6: Nosebleeds and other forms of discharge become a daily occurrence.

Cancer in cats is often accompanied by bouts of nosebleeding and the emission of other forms of discharge. And they often take place the least you expect them to as well. I’d just like to point out that these types of discharge have a distinct foul smell, which only gets worse if the feline cancer is not dealt with properly.

 

A Straightforward Approach to Maintain your Pet’s Immune System during Cancer in Cats

Unlike what a lot of people mistakenly believe, you don’t have to get your hands on conventional medicines to support your feline family member during cat cancer. Besides being costly, they can also put your feline family member at risk of adverse side effects sooner or later.

One no-fuss strategy to give the support your cat truly deserves during this serious disease for less is by maximizing the scientifically-proven anticancer properties of Fomitopsis betulina (formerly Piptoporus betulinus), which is the main ingredient of Zumalka’s PIPTOPET.

 

Besides being designed to boost the immune system, PIPTOPET also supports the body’s natural detoxification response. Additionally, this natural product maintains antioxidant function and promotes long-term health in the process.
