The AVMA and AAHA discourage the feeding of raw animal-source protein due to the high risk of illness to both pets and humans. Pathogens found in raw protein diets can be transmitted to the human population by contact with the food, pet, or environmental surfaces.
While many cats enjoy an outdoor lifestyle, we recommend trying to keep cats indoors to reduce risk of disease and harm to native flora and fauna. It has been suggested that indoor cats live longer than outdoor cats and have reduced risk of infectious disease [1].
The AVMA recommends sterilization of cats not being used for breeding and supports recommendations made by the American Association of Feline Practitioners (catvets.com) regarding feline sterilization. [Literature references within linked document] Additional resources, including client handouts on pet sterilization, can be found at [Elective spaying and neutering of pets | American Veterinary Medical Association (avma.org)].
Health risks by breed can be searched at (icatcare.org) under the Cat Health A-Z query. Limited large scale publications on cat breed survival risks are available [1].
Cats with heritable bone and cartilage disorders may benefit from joint supplements (no supporting literature) and many will ultimately require multimodal treatment for pain. Intervertebral disk disease has been reported.
In young cats with murmurs, ~0.14% have congenital heart disease [2]. In mixed breed cats, ventricular septal defects are the most common congenital heart disease followed by aortic stenosis and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Some breeds, including the Maine Coon, are predisposed to congenital heart disease [3]. A genetic screening test for Maine Coon hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is available (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) in Maine Coons| Veterinary Genetics Laboratory (ucdavis.edu) but does not rule out the development of HCM.If a murmur or arrhythmia is detected on an annual physical exam, a thoracic radiograph or EKG should be pursued. If these are abnormal, a cardiology referral is recommended [4, open access with helpful diagnostic flow chart].
