Whilst most infected cats do not show symptoms, they are prone to developing other infections and certain types of cancer.FIV is similar to HIV (the human immunodeficiency virus) and causes a feline disease that is similar to AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). However, FIV is a highly species-specific virus that infects only felines. There is currently no evidence that FIV can infect humans.What are the symptoms of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus?An FIV-infected cat may not show any symptoms for years. Once symptoms do develop, however, they may continually progress, or a cat may show signs of sickness interspersed with health for years.Common symptoms of FIV include:Enlarged lymph nodesFeverAnaemiaWeight lossDishevelled coatPoor appetiteDiarrhoeaAbnormal appearance or inflammation of the eye (conjunctivitis)Inflammation of the gums (gingivitis)Inflammation of the mouth (stomatitis)Dental diseaseSkin redness or hair lossWounds that don’t healSneezingDischarge from eyes or noseFrequent urination, straining to urinate or urinating outside of litter boxBehaviour changeHow do cats contract the infection?FIV is mainly passed from cat to cat through deep bite wounds, the kind that usually occur outdoors during aggressive fights and territorial disputes. On rare occasions infection is transmitted from an infected mother cat to her kittens, usually during passage through the birth canal or when the newborn kittens ingest infected milk. FIV does not seem to be commonly spread through sharing food bowls and litter boxes, social grooming, sneezing or sexual contact.2）What is Feline Leukaemia Virus?Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a disease that impairs the cat's immune system and causes certain types of cancer. This virus infection is second only to trauma as the leading cause of death in cats, killing 85% of persistently infected felines within three years of diagnosis. The virus commonly causes anaemia or lymphoma, but because it suppresses the immune system, it can also predispose cats to deadly infections. It affects all breeds, with males more likely to contract the infection than females, and it is usually seen between the ages of one to six years old.What are the symptoms of Feline Leukaemia Virus?Cats infected with FeLV may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms:Pale gumsYellow colour in the mouth and whites of eyesEnlarged lymph nodesBladder, skin, or upper respiratory infectionsWeight loss and/or loss of appetitePoor coat conditionProgressive weakness and lethargyFeverDiarrhoeaBreathing difficultyReproductive problems like sterility in unspayed female catsStomatitis ? Oral disease that includes ulceration of gingivaHow do cats contract the infection?FeLV is usually contracted from cat-to-cat transmission (e.g. bites, close contact, grooming, and sharing dishes or litter pans). It can also be transmitted to a kitten at birth or through the mother's milk. Kittens are much more susceptible to the virus, as are males and cats that have outdoor access.
