Do cats/animals with arthritis need warmth?
B's cat Beauty we believe has arthritis (he's being stupid about taking her to the vet). There are many days now that its cold and dry outside that Beauty will just press herself against the register waiting for the heat to come on.
We really can't afford to turn the heat up too much more (for a warm Nov and 1000 sq ft we paid $175 for heat last month). So I went out and got a humidifier to help with the heating costs and help put some moisture back in the air.
Is there anything else we should do? I would think that if B could get her to the vet then at least we could get her some meds
Also I have been giving her "Happy Hips" everyday (the joint supplement)
