標題:Senior Dementia in Cats
Common Signs of Feline Senility
Do cats get Alzheimer's? Is it normal behavior for a senior cat, or is there a problem? Here is a list of the most common signs seen with senior dementia in cats.
貓會得阿茲海默症嗎? 是老貓的正常行為,還是是個問題呢? 下面列出最常見的貓老年癡呆狀況
As with all behavior changes, please see your veterinarian first to rule out a medical problem first, as many diseases can have the same signs.
當所有行為發生變化,首先應該去看你的獸醫排除所有的醫療問題,因為很多的疾病都會有一樣的症狀
1. Loud or odd vocalizations 發出大聲或是怪聲
Every cat has a certain level of "talkativeness" some are always quiet and purring, some meow about everything. The change seen with senior
dementia is one of increased or excessive vocalizations, and not just a simple meow.
每隻貓都有一定程度的發聲,有些總是安靜或是呼嚕,有些對每件事情都喵喵叫. 這種變化對於老年癡呆的貓會是一種增加音量或是過度愛講話,而不是只是減單純的喵喵叫
They may appear confused and not totally sure of their surroundings while vocalizing, and this behavior is more common at night, often waking up the household.
他們在發出聲音的時候可能同時看起來對周遭的環境感到很迷惑且不確定,而這行為多數發生在晚上,通常會把整整個屋子的人都吵醒
It is important to remember other possible causes of new or odd vocalizations, such as pain (arthritis or injury) or in some cases, changes related to hyperthyroidism.
重要的是要記住對於可能導致貓咪發出從未聽過或是怪聲音的原因,例如疼痛(關節炎或是受傷)或是有時候因為甲狀腺機能亢進也會導致貓突然變的愛發出聲音
2. Loss of litter box training 不使用貓砂盆
Some cats will"forget" their years of proper litter box behavior with senior dementia confusion. Inappropriate urination or defecation can be symptoms of many diseases, and should always be checked out first to rule out an infection or impaction (constipation).]
3. Lack of attention to grooming 不太理毛
Like most of the behaviors on this list, lack of grooming may be a sign of many diseases, in addition to just not feeling well. Senile cats no longer care about keeping their coat in good condition. If the cat is overweight, that may contribute to the problem -- it may be too difficult to reach all areas.
4. Increased agitation, especially at night 脾氣變得躁動 由其在晚上
The cat may appear to be anxious at night, or get the days and nights mixed up; sleeping peacefully all day then stressed/vocalizing at night. Somecats appear to develop a separation anxiety at night.
5. Sleeping more than usual 睡得比平常多
Admittedly, this may be hard to discern for many cats! It is the change in behavior that people notice.
6. Irritable or cranky 煩躁或是暴躁
Again, this is a changen behavior, noticed when the cat doesn't respond as would be normally expected. Not seeming to recognize family members (or other pets) or becoming stressed under "normal" conditions may indicate senior dementia. This type of behavior is also a product of pain, so care should be taken to rule out arthritis, injury, etc.
7. Decreased appetite 食慾減低
Catssuffering from senile dementia may "forget" to eat. Of course, there are many reasons why a cat would have a decrease in appetite or discontinue eating all together. This is something that needs to be investigated as soon as possible for any age cat, especially seniors. Cats that go without food for too long are susceptible to hepatic lipidosis.
8. If you notice some of these signs with your cat 如果你發現你的貓有一些這表列的症狀
Keep a log of what behaviors you have noticed, the timeframe or how often you notice these behaviors, and make an appointment with your veterinarian to discuss. As noted above, the first step for any behavior problem is to rule out any medical causes first.
將你所知道的記錄下來或是記錄你多常看到有這些行為，然後跟醫生約時間討論這些問題。 如上面所說的，任何行為問題都先要將生理疾病問題先排除
For example, if your cat is urinating out of the box and never did this before, your vet wil want to rule out urinary problems before addressing senior dementia changes.
例如，如果你的貓以前從來沒有亂尿尿而現在會，你的獸醫將會先朝是否有泌尿道問題先著手，確定不是之後才會去判斷是否是老年癡呆問題
New evidence, similar to findings in humans, suggests that antioxidants in the diet may promote cognitive health and slow the process of decline.
Nutritional support products for cat include Senilife by Ceva. Your veterinarian may have additional suggestions.
跟人得問題類似有新的證據，建議在食物中增加抗氧化劑可能可以增強健康跟減少老年癡呆的形成。營養補充品包括Ｃｅｖａ所生產的 Senilife。你的獸醫可能有其他的建議
