A cat is a great addition to any family. Cats are lovable, cuddly companions that can fill your home with love and fun. But did you know that your feline friend also needs regular veterinary care just like you do? Some people are very dedicated and go every month, but others only check their cats when they're sick. The truth is, it's a good idea to take your cat to the vet for regular checkups. How often you do this depends on the age of your cat and how healthy she is.
