The La Perm breed can be prone to:
- Pyruvate kinase deficiency which is a disease that causes anaemia (death of red blood cells).
Testing available:
- DNA testing for pyruvate kinase deficiency which tests whether or not a cat has the potential to be affected by this condition.
Affectionate, outgoing and athletic, the LaPerm is both elegant and friendly. Unlike many of the more lean, athletic types, the LaPerm will be content to sit on laps and be fussed, and this makes them a very ‘easy to live with’ cat. They will enjoy play and can be clicker trained, and love to climb and jump, but are not ‘chaos loving’ cats!
