#partly bc how would cat doctor diagnose diabetes or cancer

[officialclangen]

I dunno if this has been asked yet, but what is the wasting disease condition based on?

Just curious.

Things like cancer, diabetes, and terminal illnesses. Basically, any illness that would cause the cat to become weak and eventually die, but that the cats wouldn't have proper medical technology/understanding to actually identify and treat. Thus the cats put it in the category of "wasting disease" because the affected cats seem to just waste away.
