Why Vets Are Seeing a Surge in Feline Diabetes in Younger Cats

February 17, 2026 by Julie Majid

The diagnosis no one expects at two years old.

For decades, feline diabetes was largely associated with older, overweight cats edging into middle age. Now veterinarians across North America and parts of Europe are reporting something different.

The Deepest Image Ever Taken Just Exposed a Hidden Population

The numbers were not what anyone expected.

For years, astronomers pointed their instruments toward a seemingly unremarkable patch of sky, a region chosen precisely because it appeared empty. It was meant to serve as a control, a baseline for understanding what lies beyond the visible. Instead, the latest ultra deep observation delivered something far more complicated. Patterns began to emerge where quiet was expected. Faint signatures clustered in ways that raised new questions. The deeper the data was processed, the less simple the darkness appeared.
