The situation with cats, as compared to dogs and birds, is much more interesting.

而猫的情况与狗和鸟相比，就更有趣了。

On the one hand, cats are predators, but on the other, they're small enough to be prey.

一方面，猫是食肉动物;另一方面，它们身材矮小很容易被捕食。

So how can you tell if your smaller pets need medical attention?

所以你要怎样判断宠物需要医药治疗呢?

For one thing, trust your hunches.

首先，相信预感。

No one knows your pets like you do, so if you notice even very subtle changes in habits and behavior, you may want to have a vet look them over.

没有人比你更了解你的宠物。当你注意到它们生活习惯上尽管是非常微小的变化，也要请兽医对其进行检查。

For a cat, other signs of illness might be that it has stopped grooming, is losing weight, vocalizing more or less than usual, or missing the litter box.

而猫生病的其它征兆，可能就是精神不振，食欲不佳等症状。
