1 A bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, causes the disease.  There are many risk factors for TB. Clinical symptoms and signs of pulmonary TB include fever, night sweats, cough, hemoptysis (coughing up blood-stained sputum), weight loss, fatigue, and chest pain.
Feline Tooth Resorption (TR) is a syndrome in cats characterized by resorption of the tooth by odontoclasts, cells similar to osteoclasts.TR has also been called feline odontoclastic resorption lesion (FORL), neck lesion, cervical neck lesion, cervical line erosion, feline caries, or feline cavity.Rs have been seen more recently in the history of feline medicine due to the advancing ages of cats, but 800-year-old cat skeletons have shown evidence of this disease. Purebred cats, especially Siamese and Persians, may be more susceptible.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the most common heart disease in cats, is a condition in which the muscular walls of the heart become abnormally thickened. This causes problems with blood returning from the lungs to the heart. The end result is a backup of fluid into the lungs (pulmonary edema) or chest cavity (pleural effusion). This fluid backup is also called congestive heart failure. Some cats with this disease are deficient in taurine, an essential amino acid that cats can only get through their diet.
