Nobody wants to see their pets in pain, no matter the reason. And like humans, our four-legged friends can live with chronic pain – and this can have a number of different causes. However, it’s not always easy to work out whether a condition a cat has causes them chronic pain; there are plenty of things we don’t yet know about chronic pain in cats.
Scientists at Université de Montréal have worked out how to scan the brains of cats while they’re awake, something that could help us investigate chronic pain in cats in further detail – it’s quite common in adult cats, particularly as they get older.
