A matter of life and death for kittens – research for a full feline life

Cats are said to have nine lives, but that is not always the case. Two out of ten kittens die in the first weeks of life – often without an explanation. Researchers are looking for answers to why life ends so early for some kittens, and how more of them can get the chance to live a full feline life.
