The vaccines should be given in a regular basis. This is the only way to atenuate or to prevent serious health problems. Cats must have also a parasites cleanse internal and external from time to time, as well they must be followed by a vet.

However, no feline is made of steal and that's why we present here some diseases and its symtoms. Don't try to make a diagnostic all alone. Do it together with your vet.

Feline Distemper, also known as feline panleukopenia, is a viral disease which is spread from cat to cat through contact with infected animals or through contact with secretions from infected animals. It can be fatal, especially in young kittens. Vaccination against feline distemper is should be considered a essential part of cat health care.

Feline calcivirus is otherwise referred to as a milder form of cat flu, is highly infectious between unvaccinated cats and can prove fatal if not treated adequately and in time. It first presents as a general malaise and a loss of appetite; you may find that the cat has ulcers in its mouth or on its nose or tongue, which are the distinguishing sign for this form of flu.

Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a viral disease which is considered to be a contagious type of disease. Symptoms can vary and diagnosis can be frustrating.

Leukemias (FIV and FeLV)
Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is a viral disease which is contagious from cat to cat. It is spread through contact with an infected cat, with wounds sustained while fighting being a common means of infection. It is a serious, often fatal disease. Feline Leukemia (FeLV) is also a serious, often fatal, viral disease which is passed from one cat to another. Testing for leukemia is recommended as part of a routine preventive cat health care program. Vaccination is also available for those cats at risk.

Rabies
It's a fatal viral disease which affects cats, dogs, people and many other types of animals. Rabies vaccination is an essential part of a preventive cat health care program and many communities have laws requiring the vaccination of pets against rabies.
