Are Egyptian Mau cats healthy?
While Egyptian Mau cats are generally healthy and robust, with no specific breed-related health issues that are common to them, they are not entirely free from common cat health issues. They might occasionally experience conditions such as:
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM): HCM is an abnormal thickening of the left ventricle of the heart that leads to improper blood flow. It is the most common cause of heart disease in cats and can result in sudden death.
- Dental issues: Like many cats, Egyptian Mau cats can develop dental problems, so regular dental care, including daily brushing, is important.
