Cat Health

Like every other mammal, the cat has a body skeleton that protects his internal organs, enabling him to process food and reproduce. Powerful muscles are attached to the skeleton to allow motion. The cat mates with the opposite sex and the female bears live young which are suckled and reared by the mother until they are able to survive alone. All cats, whatever their breed, share the same physiology (the way in which a living creature functions); they differ only in minor ways to produce a more compact or elongated conformation, with some displaying anomalies of fur, balance or bone structure caused by particular mutations or selective breeding.

Many medical problems can be avoided by ensuring that a cat has a good diet and good exercise, and by the owner being aware of early symptoms that all is not well with their pet. From routine parasite control to vaccination, reproduction to neutering, this section tells you all you need to know about feline physiology and health.

The following pages follow different health issues you may experience with your cat.
