Figure 1.

Haematological results recorded in the four breeds of cats included in this study [Abyssinian (Aby), Holy Birman (Bir), Norwegian Forest (Nor) and Siberian (Sib)]. The boxes indicates the I–II interquartile range (IQR), the horizontal line indicates the median values, whiskers extend to further observation within quartile I minus 1.5 × IQR or to further observation within quartile III plus 1.5 × IQR. ‘+’ indicates near outliers (ie, values exceeding quartiles I or III minus or plus 1.5 × IQR); the asterisks indicate far outliers (ie, values exceeding quartiles I or III minus or plus 1.5 × IQR). The grey area indicates the reference intervals reported in literature for feline haematological data. ¹⁸ Graphs corresponding to basophils and band neutrophils counts are not included in this figure. RBC = red blood cells; MCV = mean cell volume; MCH = mean cell haemoglobin; MCHC = mean cell haemoglobin concentration; WBC = white blood cells
