Does Sparta from the mean kitty videos on you tube really have leukemia?
Edit - leukemia in cats is NOT the same as leukemia in humans. It is NOT cancer NOR is it a death sentence. I had a FeLV (feline leukemia virus) cat and a FiV cat (feline AIDS) and both cats lived to be 20 and 22, respectively. Yes, he really does. Leukemia in cats is not an automatic death sentence, he has probably got a 50% chance of surviving at least three years. A few cats are carriers who never get sick at all. It's a fairly common, easily-spread disease in cats. There are treatments but no cure, but there is an effective vaccine. Good luck Sparta, we love you.

What if your cats keep miscarrying what could it be?
It could be from being infected with a very deadly virus called Feline Leukemia. It is also very contagious, is carried in the saliva so cats pass it on by grooming each other or from fleas hopping from infected cat to cat. I would take at least one of the cats (best to take them all in) into your Veterinarian and have it tested for Felv. You really should spay all of your cats (if they are negative for the Feline Leukemia). Find a low cost spay and neuter clinic. We don't need anymore unwanted kittens. Too many cats out there that are homeless. Please vaccinate your cats in the future against Feline Leukemia and the other viruses.
Cats with feline leukemia?
Yes, there is such a disease, and it's deadly. What do you want to know? All cats should be vaccinated for it, and any cat who roams outside is quite at risk. When I get a new cat I have it tested for Feline Leukemia before I even bring it home because it can easily spread and I have a cat that cannot be vaccinated due to a bad reaction. Take this disease very seriously.
Can a cat catch nasal lymphoma from another cat?
Feline leukemia is a very contagious viral disease of cats. It is not related to the leukemia that people get, which is a type of cancer. Instead, it is an immune disease similar to human AIDS. The cats pass it to each other by body fluid, so if they eat and drink from the same container, they can catch the disease. Feline leukemia is fatal, and has no cure.
