Cat Diseases: Diseases of the domestic cat (Felis catus or F. domesticus). This term does not include diseases of the so-called big cats such as CHEETAHS; LIONS; tigers, cougars, panthers, leopards, and other Felidae for which the heading CARNIVORA is used.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Administration of taurine to a cat suffering from naturally occurring chronic (about 3 years) epilepsy caused disappearance of the clinical manifestation of the seizures as well as a marked improvement in the previously grossly abnormal EEG."7.65Taurine treatment of spontaneous chronic epilepsy in a cat. ( Jasper, HH; Koyama, I; van Gelder, NM, 1977)
"Increased delivery of taurine-conjugated bile acids to the distal bowel can lead to dysbiosis resulting in colitis in mouse models of inflammatory bowel disease."3.85Whole-Blood Taurine Concentrations in Cats With Intestinal Disease. ( Fascetti, AJ; Hall, EJ; Kathrani, A; Larsen, JA; Maunder, C, 2017)
"Previous studies of feline taurine deficiency retinopathy have established that the retinopathy begins as a focal lesion at the area centralis (feline central retinal degeneration) and progresses to form a horizontal band of retinal degeneration which, in some cases, eventually involves the whole retina."3.69Lesion topography and new histological features in feline taurine deficiency retinopathy. ( Leon, A; Levick, WR; Sarossy, MG, 1995)
" Because of the known association between feline central retinal degeneration (CRD) and taurine deficiency in domestic cats, plasma concentrations of taurine were measured in this tiger."3.68Comparison of serum and plasma taurine values in Bengal tigers with values in taurine-sufficient and -deficient domestic cats. ( Beehler, B; Chesney, RW; Ketring, KL; Lippincott, S; Moore, CP; Pickett, JP; Sturman, J, 1990)
"Administration of taurine to a cat suffering from naturally occurring chronic (about 3 years) epilepsy caused disappearance of the clinical manifestation of the seizures as well as a marked improvement in the previously grossly abnormal EEG."3.65Taurine treatment of spontaneous chronic epilepsy in a cat. ( Jasper, HH; Koyama, I; van Gelder, NM, 1977)
"Cardiovascular disease groups included dilated cardiomyopathy (n = 53), left ventricular hypertrophy (n = 28), hyperthyroidism (n = 11), and uncertain classification (n = 52)."1.29Comparison of taurine, alpha-tocopherol, retinol, selenium, and total triglycerides and cholesterol concentrations in cats with cardiac disease and in healthy cats. ( Bond, BR; Fox, PR; Hayes, KC; Moise, NS; Sisson, DD; Trautwein, EA, 1993)
"Retinal degeneration was observed in cats fed commerical dog food."1.26Retinal degeneration associated with the feeding of dog foods to cats. ( Aguirre, GD, 1978)
