Cat health

Cat illnesses are almost a guaranteed part of your cat's life. The important thing is to be able to recognise when you are dealing with cat illnesses and what to do about them, although this isn't always an easy task. For example, a sneezing cat may have the cold, or it may just need to clear its nose. Diarrhoea may be a result of a change in diet rather than contracting one of the cat illnesses that causes diarrhoea.
Knowing how a healthy cat looks and behaves is the best starting point for recognising cat illnesses. A healthy cat is playful, energetic, alert and highly responsive. It will enjoy playing, jumping and chasing, and feeding time will make it show signs of excitement. It will also have an air of self-confidence and contentment.

The most common infectious disease of cats seen in veterinary clinics is the upper respiratory infection complex, or URI. This is like a cold in humans, and can be caused by a number of viruses. These viruses are spread easily from cat to cat, and are most often seen in animals from shelters, where there is a high concentration of cats. The virus causes sneezing, runny eyes and nose, and fever. Like a cold, it takes several days to recover from an upper respiratory infection. Any cat suffering from an upper respiratory infection should be seen by a veterinarian. There is a vaccination available to prevent the most common upper respiratory viruses.

Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV, or Feline AIDS) are two deadly viruses spread by close cat to cat contact, especially bite wounds. These viruses only affect cats, not humans. Like the AIDS virus in people, these viruses cause disease long after infection, sometimes years. A vaccination is available to prevent Feline Leukemia Virus but not FIV. The best prevention against these deadly diseases is to keep your cat indoors, away from contact with stray cats.
