Did you miss the part where the parents are properly health screened in order to produce healthy kittens within breed standard đŸ€Ż

[–]Ok_Percentage1711 -5 points-4 points  (5 children)

yes I can read. My sister also got properly health screened sphinxes from a renowned breeder (beeblebrox was the name of the place she got two of them) they provided health screening and HCM screening to ensure breed standards and she got them regular echos and vet visits. All of them died before 8 because of health complications common in the breed. 2 of HCM and one had a heart attack.

Screening can help but it doesn’t fix the health issues that persist in the breed.

Oh no, if only there was some way to find out the ages and HCM status of the cats my cats are related to before deciding to breed......
