    Document: No conflicts of interest reported. Feline diabetes mellitus shares many similarities with human type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), including clinical, physiological and pathological features of the disease. Domestic cats spontaneously develop diabetes associated with insulin resistance in their middle age or later, with residual but declining insulin secretion. Humans and cats share the same environment and risk factors for diabetes, such as obesity and physical inactivity. Moreover, amyloid formation and loss of beta cells are found in the diabetic cat pancreas, as in humans. Subsequently, studying the molecular mechanisms in the failing beta cells may contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of T2DM in both cats and humans.
