Like me, you’re a real cat lover. You’d go to the ends of the earth for your senior cat, but it’s not always easy.
You may have questions and worries; you may be facing a long-term condition (like your senior kitty has arthritis), or it may be a short-term illness (such as your cat not eating or drinking).
Who is Richard Parker?
I’m Richard and here to help. On this page, I tell you a little more about why I started this site.
I am a freelance writer and editor, experienced in all cat health-related matters, behavioral issues, grooming techniques, and general pet care. I earned a degree in journalism in 2008. I am the proud owner of 5 adult cats (all adopted strays), including a senior cat who is almost 20.
The Senior Cat Wellness Mission
What’s my mission at Senior Cat Wellness? It’s genuinely straightforward – to point the way to the best solutions and to find answers for your cat’s issues.
The Senior Cat Wellness Vision
I have a single aim – to become the destination for those with questions and concerns about their senior cat. With every guide I write, I focus on providing support and unbiased advice to help you make the right decisions for your feline.
In the U.S. it’s NOT dogs who are a man’s best friend…
It’s the classic debate – which makes the better pet? Dogs or cats? Americans sit on the kitty’s side of the fence, with 85.8 million cats owned in the United States, compared to 78 million dogs (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
“51% of American cat-owning homes have more than one cat”.

Where next, cat lover?
So that’s enough about me and the future goals of this site. Now it’s onwards and upwards. Where to next? You may find these senior cat questions helpful…
- “Why are my cat’s legs not working?” – If your senior cat is feeling their age as they walk, you may want to start here.
- “How can I make my constipated cat poo?” – We did say that we had an expert writer on everything senior cat related (and we meant it) – even a writer for cat poo and constipation.
- “What’s the right way to introduce an older cat to a kitten?” – A kitten can reinvigorate and bring new joy to the life of an older cat. But the introduction between them must be right. Here’s our how to.
- “Why does my cat keep catching birds and mice?” – Somethings never change. If your senior cat is STILL dragging in unwanted presents, you might like to know that you can put a halt to it. Read our guide to find out how.
- “My older cat’s eyes have discharge – what’s wrong with them?” – Find out whether your senior cat may have a severe problem with their vision.
