Are Siamese cats prone to kidney disease?

Yes, Siamese cats can be more prone to certain types of kidney disease , especially chronic kidney disease (CKD), as they age. While CKD is common in many older cats, some studies and anecdotal reports suggest that Siamese cats may have a slightly higher risk compared to other breeds. They’re also known to be susceptible to congenital kidney issues such as kidney dysplasia, though this is less common.

Regular vet checkups , early screening, and a kidney-friendly diet can help manage or even delay the onset of kidney problems in Siamese cats. Catching issues early makes a big difference in how well they respond to treatment.
