Why do cats often get sick
The most common diseases of cats are kidney failure, urolithiasis, inflammation of the bladder, cystitis, colds, and skin diseases.
Often the main causes of infection are decreased immunity and contact with virus carriers – other animals.
Cold, draft, unbalanced diet, poor maintenance of the animal, as well as chronic stress also affect the incidence of cat diseases.
These factors can cause early aging of the animal’s body and various diseases in the pet.
