Cats, like any other animal out there, can become sick. There
are several health problems that can affect your cat. If you
have never owned one though you may not realize just what those
can be. Knowing what to look for can protect your pet's health.
The hairball is probably the most common of them. Cats will
groom themselves and this allows loose hair to come off the pet
and end up in the stomachs. Instead of passing easily, the hair
can form a ball within the stomach. If your cat starts coughing
and hacking he may have a hairball that he's trying to expel.
You can help prevent hairballs by grooming your cat frequently

the excess hair that will cause them. You can feed
your cat food that will help to control it too. Even some cat
treats are available to help you to keep your cat's healthy.
Urinary tract infections are another common problem for many
cats. These are particularly common in cats that are not
neutered, especially males. If the cat stopped using his litter
box, an infection can be the cause. If the cat's urine smells
strong, this can be a sign as well. In order to treat this
condition, you will need to visit the vet. But, there are some
cat foods out there that can help to limit the episodes of
infection your cat will

Viruses
Cats can get viruses too. Some of these include the following:
Feline Leukemia Virus, Feline Infectious Peritonitis, and Feline
Immunodeficiency Virus.
FIP is a disease that is related to the Corona virus. This is a
serious problem because there is no known treatment for the
disease. Cats that test positive for it may not actually have it
as Corona has the same results. There is a vaccine for FIP but
many vets feel it is not very effective. The good news is that
it is not easy for the cat to catch it.
FIV or cat AIC is not always something that will kill the
animal. It is important to

note that you can not catch HIV from
a cat though.
FLV is a preventable condition if the cat has not been exposed
to the virus before being immunized. Cats that have the disease
will not die right away, most of the time, but it can shorten
the life expectancy of the pet. It is important to keep other
cats away from a pet that has this condition.
Worms are another problem that can affect your pet. These can be
roundworms, tapeworms or hookworms. They can occasionally
develop heart worms as well. Those cats that can not gain weight
are infested with fleas and those who have white specks in their
stool should be taken to the

vet for testing for worms. If your
pet does have worms, it can be fatal if it is untreated but most
pets can be cured from it with a few doses of medication.
Another condition in which many cats that go outdoors will have
is ticks. Symptoms include the pet being lethargic and acting
like they are in pain. If you suspect that your pet may have
this condition, make sure to take him to the vet to have them
removed. Also, the vet will likely treat him for Lyme Disease
which can be transmitted to you and your family as well as to
pets by the ticks.
