Signs and Symptoms
Although cats are diagnosed with cancer at lower rates than dogs or humans, the types of cancer and symptoms are identical. Cancer in cats can occur in any location or body system, and most symptoms can be detected externally. However, to reach a definitive diagnosis, further tests such as blood and urine tests, cytology, and biopsy are required. Due to the excessively aggressive nature of cancer in cats, it is advisable for owners to take their cat to a veterinarian for an examination following occurrence of any symptom to prevent spreading.
