1) Feed a complete and balanced diet: Choose a life-stage-appropriate food that reliably meets protein and micronutrient needs, and avoid frequent, abrupt diet changes that can destabilize digestion.
2) Protect healthy weight and muscle mass: Aim for a steady body condition score and preserve muscle mass with appropriate calories, play, and mobility support—especially in older cats.
3) Reduce chronic inflammation sources: Address dental disease early (bad breath, tartar, gum redness), and work with your vet on recurring issues like IBD, dermatitis, or chronic ear/skin flare-ups.
4) Lower toxin and exposure load: Keep cats away from tobacco smoke, minimize use of certain pesticides where your cat lives, and store household chemicals securely.
5) Prioritize routine screening and early detection: Schedule regular exams and act quickly on changes such as new lumps, unexplained weight loss, appetite changes, vomiting/diarrhea that persists, or reduced grooming/energy.
