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.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the ear, eyelid or nose is a skin cancer caused by repeated exposure to the sun. White, or light colored, cats are more susceptible to squamous cell carcinoma. Lymphosarcoma or lymphoma (LSA), is one of the most common type of cancer in cats. Some reports estimate that 30% of all reported cat cancers are due to LSA. Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is linked to most forms of LSA except for the gastrointestinal (GI) form.
