What types of cats are more susceptible to bladder stones than others?
Is it more common in certain breeds, or males vs females?
1 Answer
A Canadian study found that urate stones were more common in the Egyptian Mau, and in male cats. The average age of a cat with bladder stones was around 7 years according to a paper published in Europe. When it comes to struvite stones, again there seems to be an increased incidence in Himalayans, Persians and Siamese cats but the domestic cat also made an appearance on this list.
