Statistical analyses were only performed on breed groups with >10 cats. For age and cobalamin data, median results with letter subscripts are significantly different from cats in the ‘domestic’ group at P<0.001, P<0.01 and P<0.05 for subscripts a, b and c, respectively. Range is quoted for three or more individuals only; otherwise, absolute values are included.
‘Domestic’ breed group includes domestic shorthair and domestic longhair combined. M=male; NM=neutered male; F=female; NF=neutered female; U=unknown.
