Health Problems in Cats.

Different breeds of cats are prone to different health problems, and proper knowledge of what you're getting into is crucial if you don't want to find yourself with a very sick kitty and tons of vet visits.
For example, cats with flattened faces are obviously going to have upper respiratory problems, just like humans with deviated septums have trouble breathing.
In face, cats do face many of the same health problems that humans do. Kidney disease and even diabetes are common health problems that cats face.

Another, very sad illness is the virus known as FIV or feline immunodeficiency virus, is the cat's verson of HIV. A seemingly healthy, beautiful cat can take ill due to coming in contact with an infected cat. Another illness that spreads between cats in close vicinity is FeLV or Feline Leukemia Virus, which almost always results in the death of the infected cat.

These illness can be very sad for a cat owner, so when adopting or getting a kitten be sure to take it to the vet for testing and a thorough examination so you know what you're getting into!
