<abstract><p>The demand for pets to fill affective family spaces, the increased economic capacity of social classes and the displacement of rural populations to cities are influencing factors in increasing pet acquisition. This cohabitation can trigger epidemiological factors that affect human health. For this reason, it is necessary to know the diseases that affect domestic cats that live with humans and determine if there are zoonotic infectious agents that inflict on human health. In the present study, 103 medical records of domestic cats attended in 2019 at the Veterinary Hospital of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Zootechnics were studied. This in order to categorize the most frequent diseases in the species. 71.84% of the cats examined were sick. 55.41% were males, while the age range with the highest frequency was 0-1 years. The most frequent category according to the VITAMIN D System was Inflamatory/infectious.</p></abstract>
