Things to keep an eye on
Dental Disease
moderateLike many cat breeds, Cyprus cats can develop plaque and tartar buildup if dental hygiene is not maintained. This can lead to inflammation of the gums over time.
Introduce regular tooth brushing or dental-approved treats to help manage plaque accumulation.
External Parasites
moderateDue to their active nature and potential for outdoor exploration, these cats may be prone to fleas, ticks, or mites. These parasites can cause skin irritation and transmit other health issues.
Use a veterinarian-approved parasite prevention product consistently throughout the year.
Obesity
moderateThese cats are naturally active, but indoor living or reduced activity levels can lead to weight gain. Maintaining a healthy weight is essential for their long-term joint and organ health.
Measure daily food portions accurately and encourage daily interactive play sessions.
