Cancer in cats
Cancer is a serious illness in cats as well as humans. Approximately 1 in 4 cats will develop cancer at some time in their lives. This figure rises to 1 in 2 for cats over 10 years old. It’s the leading cause of death in adult cats.
Cancer is an illness that touches many of our lives. Half of us will develop cancer during our lifetime. Around 1000 new cases are diagnosed every day in human medicine. And every day a cat owner will also face the anguish of a cancer diagnosis for their beloved companion. Just as for humans, outlook depends on the type of cancer, how early it is identified and on individual response to treatment. Always talk to a vet if you are worried your cat may have cancer
