Things to keep an eye on
Dental Disease
moderateLike many cat breeds, Arabian Maus can develop plaque and tartar buildup, which may lead to gingivitis if left unmanaged. Regular monitoring of the gums and teeth is helpful for long-term oral health.
Introduce regular tooth brushing or dental-approved treats to help reduce plaque accumulation.
Obesity
moderateDue to their active nature, these cats require a balanced diet to maintain a healthy weight. Excess weight can place unnecessary strain on their joints and overall metabolic health.
Measure daily food portions accurately and provide regular interactive play sessions to encourage movement.
Heat Sensitivity
lowWhile the breed is adapted to warm climates, they can still be susceptible to heat stress if kept in environments with poor ventilation or extreme temperatures. Ensuring access to shade and fresh water is essential.
Always ensure your cat has access to cool, shaded areas and plenty of fresh, clean drinking water.
