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.
If the virus attacks a cat's brain, for example, a seizure may present itself as a symptom. Like FIV, the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) affects a cat's immune system. FeLV can cause secondary infections or even cancer in a cat. One of the symptoms of this virus is a neurological disorder, like seizures.
