Things to keep an eye on
Dental Disease
moderateAccumulation of plaque and tartar can lead to gingivitis or periodontal disease if not managed. Regular oral hygiene helps maintain long-term dental health.
Introduce gentle tooth brushing or dental-specific treats to reduce plaque buildup.
Obesity
moderateLike many active breeds, Aegean cats can gain excess weight if their caloric intake exceeds their activity levels. Maintaining a healthy weight is essential to prevent secondary health issues.
Measure daily food portions accurately and encourage regular play sessions to keep your cat active.
External Parasites
lowDue to their active outdoor nature, Aegean cats may be more exposed to fleas, ticks, and mites. These can cause skin irritation and transmit other health concerns.
Maintain a consistent schedule for external parasite prevention treatments as recommended by your veterinarian.
