As a cat owner you can quickly grow very attached to your cat and a bond will grow. For this reason if your cat or kitten is suffering from an illness it can be a stressful time. In order to avoid this and help you through a tough situation it is worth knowing about cat health in advance if the worst was to happen.
One of the most serious cat illnesses is Leukemia. This can be life threatening and can be seen in advance if your cat is malnourished and losing appetite. They may also pass blood when they toilet.
To treat this a vet may vaccinate your cat but this is not always the best option. Your cat will need to be kept away from other cats so the disease cannot be passed on.
Another possibility is diabetes which mainly affects elderly cats. Some symptoms are loss of appetite and more urination than usual.
To keep your cat in good health you can help with good quality cat food and plenty of exercise. Do not feed your cat junk food and be aware of any changes you see in the cats behaviour.
Cat birth is another time to be vigilant for your cats health as they may be more likely to catch an illness in this period. If you notice anything unusual then take cat to see the vet.
