HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

CLICK below on the "pawpeds link" for more details to understand HCM. It is an insidious disease which can be found in all cats, purebred and non-purebred.  A cat may appear healthy, but suddenly die without symptoms. No specific gene has been identified.  For this reason testing is urgently important prior to breeding a cat.   The link below provides detailed information.
