Can a cat have multiple sclerosis?

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system and is commonly found in humans. While it is possible for other species to develop autoimmune conditions that resemble MS, it is not known to affect cats. Cats can suffer from a variety of neurological disorders, but these conditions are typically caused by other factors such as feline leukemia virus, trauma, or nutritional deficiencies.
