 Given decent food and shelter, most cats stay healthy most of the time. Like any creature, however, they will have their share of minor ailments, and occasionally they are hit by a major disorder. The former you may be able to do something about. The latter is definitely best left to a veterinarian.
Most devastating -- but easiest to prevent -- is infectious enteritis, or feline distemper, a virus disease which has for years been the great killer of cats. There is now a serum which gives immunity, and there is no reason for not inoculating your kitten as soon as possible after it is six weeks old. Enteritis strikes so fast and so mercilessly that there may be no time to act after the cat is sick.

 This article has been written to provide a guide to what to look for in regards to signs of sickness, some signs include possible causes. It has not been written by a veterinarian & shouldn't be used to replace veterinary advice. This is by no means meant to be for diagnostic purposes, most symptoms of sickness have multiple possible causes, many of which aren't included in this article. Therefore it is imperative that you seek proper veterinary attention if you see you suspect your cat is unwell. You should NEVER make an medical diagnosis based on what you read on the Internet, only an examination performed by a qualified veterinarian can give you a definite diagnosis so please, if you believe your cat is unwell, seek proper medical care immediately.

If you already have your heart set on a specific breed or type of cat, that is what you want. Get it. If you have not decided, here are some considerations: What to look forLook for a mixed-breed kitten. Purebred cats are generally less healthy and vigorous and more apt to have behavior problems. With any generalization like this, remember, differences between individuals are much greater than differences between groups. There are many unhealthy mixed breed cats and vigorous purebred cats. Long haired cats will need to be groomed. Many people find a long fluffy coat very attractive and don't mind grooming. If you are not one of these people, you should look for a kitten with short hair. A six or eight week kitten with a slick, shiny coat has short hair. Fuzzy kittens have long hair. The fuzzier, the longer. Unusual-looking cats will have unusual problems. For instance, Persian cats, with big eyes and tucked-in noses are for more likely to have problems with their eyes and their noses.
