Things to keep an eye on
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
highThis is a common heart condition in many cat breeds where the heart muscle thickens, potentially affecting its pumping efficiency. Early detection through routine screening can help manage the condition effectively.
Schedule regular wellness exams so your veterinarian can listen for heart murmurs or other irregularities.
Dental disease
moderateLike many cat breeds, they can develop plaque and tartar buildup, which may lead to gum inflammation if left unmanaged. Regular dental monitoring helps maintain oral health.
Introduce gentle tooth brushing or provide dental-friendly treats recommended by your veterinarian.
Obesity
moderateAustralian Mists can be prone to weight gain if they are less active or overfed, which may impact their overall health. Monitoring their body condition is an important part of their routine care.
Measure daily food portions accurately and encourage regular play sessions to keep your cat active.
