6 Common Cat Diseases and How to Prevent Them
Cats hide pain well and can't tell you what's wrong, so owners need a basic grasp of common feline illnesses. Beyond regular checkups and vaccines, know the warning signs of the six frequent problems: urinary tract disease, respiratory infection, periodontal disease, parasites, ringworm, and ear mites. This guide summarizes each condition's symptoms and the everyday prevention that matters most—more water, less stress, dental care, deworming, and a clean, dry environment.

Jerdon's Tree Frog (Hyla annectans), also called the West Chinese rain frog, is a small, brightly colored tree frog. Its back is green with purple-gray and golden head stripes; males reach about 36 mm, females 41 mm. Common in farmland, it eats many pests.
Burmese Mountain Tortoise
The Burmese Mountain Tortoise (Manouria emys) is one of Asia's largest tortoises, a shy forest dweller from western India to Vietnam and Sumatra. It loves warmth and humidity, shuns bright light, and is a committed herbivore that rarely accepts animal food.
Crested Myna

Winter White Dwarf Hamster (Milky Tea morph)
The 'milky tea' hamster is a coat-color morph of the Winter White dwarf hamster (Phodopus sungorus), named for its even, milk-tea-colored back.

Alexandrine Parakeet
The Alexandrine Parakeet (Psittacula eupatria) is the largest parakeet in Asia — over 55 cm long, mostly green with a red beak and a gray-blue neck. Loved for its beauty, speech, and gentle nature, it needs a large cage, daily interaction to avoid feather-plucking, and fresh branches to chew. Captive-bred birds are easier to keep and breed.
Anglo Mink
The Anglo Mink is the domesticated pet ferret (Anglo / Marshall lines) kept as a companion animal. Intelligent, gentle, and easy to litter-train, it is heat-sensitive and mischievous when unwatched, needs a large wire-free cage and 4+ hours out daily, and eats a meat-based diet (30–35% protein, 15–20% fat). Lifespan 8–12 years.
Angora Rabbit
The Angora Rabbit is the fluffy 'grass-mud rabbit' kept for its superfine wool (11 microns, finer than cashmere). Gentle but high-maintenance, it needs shearing every 3–4 months and constant hay to avoid deadly wool block (hairball impaction). Lifespan about 5–7 years.
