Can cats have hemorrhoids?
An expert at a cat exhibition told me that bobtail cats are getting this problem more and more often because of improper breeding pairs and it made me shocked because I had never heard about this problem in cats! O_O

I could have sworn I'd read that somewhere too about bobtail cats but it says here that they can't get hemorrhoids but the condition that mimics it needs treatment immediately:
Dogs and cats do not get hemorrhoids so any tissue that protrudes from the anus is abnormal.

Great piece of info, thank you!

You're very welcome. I still could swear I saw something about bobtails but maybe it was someone else asking. Hope your kitty is okay!

Never heard about hemorrhoids in cats!
By the way talking about cat vs human diseases, cats don't have heart attacks do they?

Yes, they absolutely do. One of the case studies on my site passed away overnight very quickly from a heart attack. He just went to sleep right in front of them. They said he didn't seem to be in any pain. Their vet confirmed it was a heart attack and that he passed very quickly and peacefully. HCM is a genetic heart condition with kitties as well. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in cats
