Ear mites spread easily between cats through contact and cause intense itching and dark ear discharge. Clean the ear first, then apply a vet-recommended topical treatment — and see the vet if pain or balance loss appears.
Can a Feverish Cat Recover on Its Own
A cat's normal temperature runs 37–39°C, and it cools itself through paw sweat glands and panting. Mild fevers can ease with physical cooling, but a high fever from infection or virus needs a vet. Watch the ears and tail, and keep the cat nourished while it recovers.

What to Do When Your Dog Has a Urinary Tract Infection
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in dogs and cause painful or frequent urination, blood in the urine, and general discomfort.
