    TLDR Fungal infections are the most common skin disease in cats, especially white ones.
    The study conducted in Basrah, Iraq, examined 200 cats of various colors, ages, and sizes to identify common skin diseases. The research found that fungal infections were the most prevalent skin disease, followed by bacterial infections, scabies, and alopecia. White cats were more frequently affected by these conditions compared to other colors. The study highlights the importance of recognizing and diagnosing skin diseases in cats, with fungal infections being the leading cause.
