preface
"Cat master", "dog master", "hairy child"... These affectionate titles all reflect the deep emotional bond between the shoveler and the pet. For many people, they are not only pets, but also family and friends, and are a warm and long-term companion.
But compared with us, the life span of cats, dogs and dogs for more than ten years is particularly short, which is destined to one day we have to watch them leave.
Many shovelers want to be able to spend as long as possible with their furry children, asking us how our pets can resist aging. Can I eat rapamycin? Is there a mechanism that does telomere testing for cats? How to convert the dose when eating supplements?
To answer these questions, we invited a pet age-fighting expert to share her experiences and experiences in fighting aging for pets.

He is a shoveler and an anti-aging master
Behind every pet that successfully resists aging, there must be a shoveler who is keen on anti-aging.
The time agreed for the interview was 7:30 p.m., and when we opened with a sentence of "Have you eaten?", Kuma, who had already eaten dinner early, perfectly demonstrated the qualities that anti-aging masters should have, saying that "eating too late will promote decline" and emphasizing that "the rhythm must not be chaotic".
Kuma describes herself as a "radical anti-aging element", and her quest for anti-aging permeates every detail of her life.
On weekdays, she is self-cooked, more vegetarian and less meat, the daily eating window is about 6-8 hours, and will be adjusted according to the physical condition; sleep regularity, sleep at 12 o'clock, from 8 o'clock; there are exercise habits, yoga, meditation, trampoline are her favorite activities; take 20-30 kinds of supplements every day, will also wear anti-blue light glasses, buy a heating blanket that simulates a sauna, and the bath bulb is also replaced by a healthier red light...
Kuma probably didn't even have such a healthy life one day. She is a Japanese translator who used to work with a strong personality, and would work hard to complete the task, completely unable to care about health or health. But then she deteriorated and examination revealed that she not only had multiple sacs, but also carried the APOE4 genotypic, which increased her risk of Alzheimer's disease.
At that time, she had already bought a few houses and some financial products by work, and she didn't need to worry too much about her financial situation, so she decided to slow down her life.
Now, she "focuses on studying aging and enjoying life." At first, I took a lot of detours, but gradually became an anti-aging master by constantly groping, living a healthy life, keeping two cats, and occasionally picking up the scattered work of translation, but the list of needing to stay up late to break the circadian rhythm was absolutely not picked up.
Pet Anti-Aging:
"Hopefully my cat will nibble on me until I'm 30"
About a year ago, Kuma's calm and comfortable life appeared a little hazy.
The two cats were originally lively and active, often playing and making trouble, like children. But slowly, the 7-year-old sister became less and less athletic, her appetite continued to decline, the cat food she ate would spit out, and she would vomit wildly, gaining lighter weight and sleeping more and more.
Some shovelers may be helpless in the face of the damage that the years have brought to the cats, but Kuma has thought of giving them anti-aging.
She chose a combination of anti-aging supplements for her cats: collagen, probiotics, digestive enzymes, vitamins, sirolimus, TRU NIAGEN, Q10, biotin.

It was a big deal to get two cats to obediently take so much medicine. For example, TRU NIAGEN is a capsule type NR, Kuma first takes the capsule apart, mixes the powder and collagen with water inside, and feeds the cat a little bit with a needle-free syringe. The reason why collagen is added is because "my cat likes the taste of collagen and does not resist at all."
Such a set of anti-aging supplements combined punch down, the situation of the two cats has been significantly improved. The sister's appetite and weight returned, the fur became smooth, the hair loss and spitting were reduced, and the enthusiasm for the cat stick was rekindled.
The younger brother is still young, and the improvement after the anti-aging is not as obvious as that of the older sister, but the cough problem is much better. My brother coughed since he was a child, coughing several times a day almost every day, and taking some antibiotics was ineffective, but after a period of anti-aging, he may now cough only two or three times a week.

But Kuma, who has successfully helped cat science fight aging, is actually a true feeling faction.
When asked why she let the cat eat these anti-aging supplements, Kuma said that she didn't think too much about it, and that she felt good when she ate them, so she let her sister and brother eat them together. She said: "My own anti-aging effect is quite good, by the way, I will give my cat resistance." ”
For example, sirolimus eaten by the sisters and brothers is actually rapamycin, which is a prescription drug that Kuma bought with the help of friends. She took it herself for two years, feeling that its effect was "seconds to kill other supplements", "after eating the mood is very peaceful, the worry and anxiety in her heart are gone", so she fed it to the cat at a dose of 1mg/month, and the dose and frequency are also based on feeling.
In addition, the two cats do not like herbal drugs, and when they eat them, they will spit out, and Kuma will not force them to continue to eat. Such a casual anti-aging, she never worried about the bad impact on the cat.
The supplements given to them were all experienced by herself and confirmed that there was no problem before feeding them to the cats. Second, because she will carefully check the state of the two cats every day, from the spirit, food intake, excrement, hair, emotions, one by one to confirm that there is no problem will be assured.
Sometimes when a cat suddenly barks, Kuma knows that it is mostly a little anxious, and will immediately put down the matter at hand and try to calm it. She believes that in the anti-aging of pets, in addition to supplements, emotions are also very important, "the impact of bad emotions on cat aging is no less than the impact of tobacco and alcohol on human aging."
At the end of the interview, we asked Kuma two questions, and the answers we got were somewhat unexpected.
Q
"How much do you spend on pet aging every month?"
Kuma: "Two of them are $200-300 in total. ”
Kuma, who no longer has to worry about money, has always been willing to spend money on cats. Both cats were neutered before the age of 1, because the sister is a female cat, the risk of surgery is greater, and she also deliberately found a Japanese doctor to sterilize the sister. She thought that she spent a lot on pet anti-aging, but she said that anti-aging actually did not cost much money, and she could do big things with small money.
"Do you communicate with others about how to give your pet anti-aging?"
Kuma: "No, I'll do it myself." I have a lot of supplements at home, which can scare normal people to death, and others will think of me as an outlier when they know. Even my family doesn't know about supplements. ”
In the interview, Kuma did not hesitate to share every detail of her and the cat's anti-aging process, we thought that she was also a person willing to share her own story in life, but we did not expect that her real anti-aging road was in a low-key and secret way. But even so, she was willing to stand up and hope to use her experience to help more shovelers and their fur children.
I wish Kuma and every shoveler like Kuma can have more and longer warm memories through anti-aging and their own hairy children. I also hope that with the breakthrough of anti-aging technology, one day we will not have to send them away.
