********
The health and well-being of my cats and the kittens produced from them are very important to me. As a result, all of my RagaMuffin breeding cats have been DNA tested for the Ragdoll mutation of the HCM gene and are N/N, which means that they do not carry a copy of the gene. This does not guarantee that a cat will not develop HCM, as cats can develop HCM for reasons unrelated to the Ragdoll HCM gene. A cat that has one copy of the Ragdoll HCM gene has HCM, although the age of onset is unknown and symptoms may not develop until the cat has reached its senior years. In addition, all of our breeding cats receive regular echocardiograms by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist. At Felisophic Felines, we prefer to mitigate the risks within our control, and while DNA testing and echocardiograms do not eliminate the risk of HCM, it is something we believe responsible breeders do.
