Just like dogs and other pets, cats can be and are susceptible to
various kinds of diseases because of various factors. If your favorite
furry feline friend loves to go outdoors and mingle with other cats,
there's a strong chance that he would contract FeLV by being in contact
with another cat that had FeLV.
So what's FeLV? FeLV or
Feline leukemia virus is one of the top causes of death in cats (the top
cause is trauma), and studies show FeLV kills about 85% of highly
infected cats within as fast as three years of contracting the said
virus.Feline leukemia virus is a highly contagious disease (but in cats
only) and this can be transmitted by a cat to other cats through biting,
saliva, grooming, body fluids, and even possibly through feces and
urine. The virus can bring about lymphoma, anemia, or other cancers, and
all cats are susceptible to this virus.
