A limp, a counter that suddenly seems too high, a slower start after a nap. Stiff joints creep up on cats quietly, and the cause is not always age.
Does your cat seem to be limping? Is he or she slowing down, no longer jumping up on the counters like before, taking longer to get up from a nap? Those are the usual first signs of stiff, achy joints.
Cats are tricky. It is often hard to tell if, or when, they are in pain. All we can do is watch their routines and judge whether they need a trip to the vet, some nutritional support, or both.
Arthritis is the usual assumption for a cat who is slowing down with age. But achy or stiff joints are much more common in cats that eat lower-quality foods and treats made with too many sugar sources. Wheat flour, corn meal, white rice, potatoes, tapioca and many more can contribute to inflammation throughout a cat's body.
That makes the bowl the first place to look. Our recommended foods guide shows what to look for on the label.
Over more than two decades, we have found that most of the joint pain cats experience is related to the loss or breakdown of synovial fluid. That fluid cushions and lubricates the joint and protects the cartilage.
A lack of key enzymes, like superoxide dismutase and catalase, contributes strongly to the fluid breaking down and losing its lubricating qualities. The result is wear or damage to the cartilage, along with inflammation, soft tissue damage and pain.
Sprouted Granules give the body resources it can use to ease inflammation and support the viscosity of the synovial fluid. They are a natural way to give your cat a chance to turn things around before moving on to the complexity of steroids and pain medications.

Cats hide pain well, so watch the routine. A cat who limps, stops jumping onto the counter, or takes longer to get up from a nap may be stiff or sore. If you are unsure, a trip to the vet is the place to start.
