Are Cymric cats healthy?
Cymric cats are generally healthy but can develop some health issues, especially those related to their unique tails, including:
- Manx syndrome: Though it’s named after the Manx, Cymrics can develop what is called “Manx Syndrome,” a collection of birth defects and spinal issues that cause spina bifida, urinary tract defects, and digestion issues.
- Arthritis: Cymrics with longer tails may suffer from arthritis of the tailbone, which is a degenerative joint disease.
