Health 4/5 Reliable breed-specific health data for the Ceylon are limited. Heart, kidney and dental disease should be monitored as in other cats, without assuming either exceptional robustness or unique fragility. Recommended preventive care includes cardiac and kidney assessment where family history indicates risk, consistent dental care, healthy weight management and breeding choices that preserve genetic diversity.
