When a cat is overly stressed out, the cat can exhibit behaviours which include, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and fever. Cats can also recognise the voices of their owners, which relates back to the 10,000-year history humans have with cats. This essay examines behavioral issues that cats exhibit in shelters and households.
Although most bites are caused by dogs, cat bites are the most likely to cause serious infections. Why Cat Bites are Risky Cats have very sharp, long and pointed teeth that can bury themselves deep into the flesh, causing puncture wounds. Cats usually bite when provoked, especially the female felines. These bites can be much deeper than the victim thinks because the skin can seal off the small punctured site, thus preventing open drainage and leading to infection. While only one percent of dog bites lead to infection that requires hospitalization, up to 10% of cat bites send victims to the hospital for treatment.

These FCoVs are spread world-wide and infect cats and other members of the family Felidae. FECV is the common form of FCoV, which causes from asymptomatic infection to severe enteritis and can be transmitted in nature between cat populations [3, 7]. Unlike FECV, the FIP is an immune-mediated progressive polyserositis and pyogranulomatosis. It is the most important cause of death of infectious origin in cats worldwide, affecting both domestic and wild felids [5, 7]. Circulating antibodies against FCoV are found in 90-100% of the cats living in catteries or multiple-cat households and up to 50% of solitary cats house; however, only 1–5% of the seropositive cats eventually come down with FIP [8, 9, 10].
