Not really... They have their own equally nasty illnesses.



see CAT FLU . zoo inject their big cats every year against this killer
both my cats have coldsDo pets get the same sicknesses as humans?
yes,... yes they do.
Sometimes cats get laryngitis, can have sinus problems (especially Persians bred with shortened faces), allergies to foods mostly. In the headache or migraine category there is no way to access that in a cat.



Otherwise their body systems are the same as ours - one heart, one liver and pancreas, two lungs, two kidneys, one bladder with urethras, ovaries and fallopian tubes if female and testes and vas differens if male.

Thyroid hormones, growth hormones etc. too.



They have their own flu viruses and other diseases specific to their species (FIV, leukemia, panleucopenia, etc).



They can have problems with any organ system just like humans and they can get cancers of those various organs.
Bella, my dear, the answer is yes!! Animals can and do get the same diseases as we, other animals do. They get cancer, diabetes, arthritis, CHF, sinusitis, heart murmurs, etc. Anyone who tells you differently are not as knowledgeable as they think. There may be a few distinctions, but none the less, they can acquire the same diseases as we humans. Very good question!!
actually they do, but in a different way,i remember that my cat catch flu and starts to sneeze! and one time she throw up after eating a cockroach,yach isn it;-o
