They Still Climb: Small Signs of Big Changes in Cat Mobility

Cats are masters at hiding pain—but if we know what to look for, we can make their world easier to navigate and more comfortable to grow old in.

Cats age differently than dogs—and often more quietly. In this practical conversation, Karen and Gail reflect on the subtle but powerful signs that a cat’s mobility may be changing, from hesitating to jump onto the couch to choosing lower shelves on the cat tree.

Drawing on their years of caregiving experience, they explore how to recognize these early shifts and support aging cats with compassion, creativity, and a few clever adaptations. From food bowl hacks to gentle ramps and raw food transformations, this episode is full of insight, heart, and real-life stories that remind us our cats are still climbing—even if they do it differently now.

You’re not alone. Let’s walk this path together—with love, empathy, and a whole lot of paw-sitive solutions.
