As pets live longer due to advancements in veterinary medicine, behavioral changes help diagnose age-related cognitive decline.

The stressed cat stops grooming (leading to matted fur and hairballs), eats irregularly (leading to hepatic lipidosis), and urinates outside the box (leading to bladder infections).
