Feline leukemia is a transmittable virus that can damage a catâs immune system. It can sometimes be hard to spot because not all cats with the disease will show symptoms. The virus can be in a catâs bodily fluids including saliva, urine, feces, and blood, and can be passed through direct contact or even grooming.
As mentioned earlier, it is possible for cats to have feline leukemia but not show any signs of the disease. There are a number of visible symptoms, including a loss of appetite, weight loss, and gums that are either pale or excessively red.
