While cancer is less frequent in cats than in dogs, our cats face their own unique forms of compromised immune systems. When cats do experience cancer it can be much more aggressive and harder to treat. Cats are also susceptible to the very specific feline leukemia virus (FeLV), which can lead to lymphoma. Physically, cancer usually shows up as physical tumors if at all. The tricky part is that cats often will hide their illnesses, making a serious disease harder to detect. The disease may have advanced substantially by the time symptoms or signs start to show.
As with cancer in humans, the exact causes of cat cancers are not known. Cancer in felines can be complex and symptoms are hard to detect. Symptoms might be associated with other issues, but you can never be too careful. Some of these following obvious warning signs are worth watching out for and taking medical action if they persist:
- Lumps and bumps on the skin
- Non-healing sores
- Vomiting and diarrhea
- Trouble breathing
- Extreme lethargy
Many factors can weaken a cat's immune system and their natural ability to fight cancerous cells. Ensuring your cat isn't exposed to harmful chemicals, gets necessary vaccines, and gets spayed or neutered can surely help. But where do cancerous cells come from in the first place
Cancer starts when a healthy cell is damaged and starts to multiply out of control. This cell damage can occur when there is an over abundance of "free radicals". Free radicals are unstable molecules that are aggressively trying to stabilize themselves by stealing from other surrounding molecules. This continuous process creates a growing number of new free radicals. Without achieving stabilization through antioxidant support, these free radicals will grow in number and eventually cause damage to the body's cells.
Some free radicals are normally present in the body but more accumulate as we age. Free radicals can increase when we are exposed to radiation, cigarette smoke, herbicides and toxic chemicals including many household cleaners and outdoor pollution.
Help improve your cat's ability to deal with cancer with a strong immune system and a positive mood. You'll also keep him or her happier and more comfortable. Your kitty needs as much support as you can offer, so give him or her the best chance of a high quality of life!
