Abstract
Cats are a hugely popular pet in the UK, so greater awareness of common disorders affecting owned cats would assist owners to make better healthcare decisions. This article summarises a recent paper reporting on the most commonly diagnosed disorders in cats within VetCompass during 2019, with dental and obesity conditions at top of the list. Veterinary teams can improve feline health and welfare by sharing this information with owners.
