Type 1 diabetes, in which the immune system attacks the pancreas, is "extremely rare" in cats, unlike in dogs and humans. [2] Type 2 diabetes is responsible for 80–95% of diabetic cases.

Insulin resistance can vary greatly between cats. In some cases glycaemic control can be achieved with doses of 1 to 3 U/cat b.i.d., a 'normal' level of insulin dosage. Insulin levels should be increased by 0.5 to 1 U/cat b.i.d. every 5 to 7 days until glycaemic control has been achieved (blood glucose level of 100 to 300 mg/dL).
Broughton in 1968 developed classification of the arousal disorders as confusional arousals: night terrors and sleep walking. [5] Insomnias were classified as primary and secondary until 1970 when they were recognized as symptoms of other disorders.
Between 15.29% and 38.6% of preschoolers grind their teeth at least one night a week.
