Yes and no. It is an infection by a virus. The Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a retrovirus that infects cats. The virus attacks the cat's immune system and can cause diseases, one of which can be a form of cancer of the blood cells called Lymphoma (a leukemia).
Is leukemia contagious or hereidity?
I know that cancers aren't contagious and what not, but I've recently read up on things that (can??? can it or does it?) cause leukemia. For example, the human t cell leukemia virus. It says that can associate with leukemia, and that virus can be spread through sexual contact. So if that's the cause of it, then wouldn't that imply that I, if involved with that, could get that virus and potentially leukemia or forms of it? Or is there something im like misreading, or misunderstanding. It's all kind of confusing. So i mean, is there like a "natural" form of leukemia that's caused by unfortunate circumstances (like breast cancer) as well as leukemia that's derived from a virus which is "contagious" in the sense that it can be transmitted?
