Genetic disorders in cats

Genetic disorders in cats are health issues caused by changes or mutations in their DNA. These inherited conditions can affect various parts of the body, such as causing heart problems, vision issues, or skin abnormalities. Some disorders appear more commonly in specific breeds due to limited gene pools, while others are rare. While some genetic conditions are manageable, others may impact a cat's quality of life. Responsible breeding practices can help reduce the risk of passing on genetic disorders. Regular veterinary care and genetic testing can aid in early detection and management of these conditions.
