Things to keep an eye on
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
highThis condition involves the thickening of the heart muscle walls, which can affect how efficiently the heart pumps blood. It is a common heart condition seen in many cat breeds.
Schedule annual veterinary checkups that include cardiac auscultation to listen for any heart murmurs.
Dental Disease
moderateCats can develop plaque and tartar buildup, which may lead to gingivitis or periodontitis if left unmanaged. Maintaining oral hygiene is important for long-term health.
Introduce gentle tooth brushing or dental-approved treats to help reduce plaque accumulation.
Obesity
moderateJapanese Bobtails are active, but they can still become overweight if their caloric intake is not balanced with their activity levels. Excess weight can put stress on their joints and overall health.
Measure daily food portions accurately and encourage interactive play to keep your cat at a healthy weight.
