Keeping your cat healthy or dealing with an illness is much easier if you understand all the terms that researchers and veterinarians use regarding your cat's health.
There are so many things that affect our cat’s health that it can be overwhelming, and if your cat becomes ill, it is much easier to communicate with your veterinarian if you understand their language. Besides the things listed below, there are also many diseases and illnesses that are much like their human-related counterparts, like hypothyroidism, diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Cats can also get constipated or get diarrhea. They get fleas and ticks and a variety of worms. Cats can even have mental disorders like Compulsive Disorder. The list below is in no way all-inclusive, so regardless of how simple or severe your cat’s disease or illness is, it is important to learn all you can and carry through with all follow-up visits and treatments with your veterinarian.
