This is continued from the first part because I didn't have enough room.

HEALTH

There are no specific diseases & health issues known to this color. They can, if taken care of the right way live well beyong 9 & 10 years of age. This doesn't mean that NO cat that is black or black & white will get sick. It just means that there are no specific health issues that you need to watch for. When taken care of correctly, many black/black & white cats can live up to 15 or more years old. (I had a black & white cat who was 17 years old when he finally had to be put down). The oldest living cat, in his 20s, is (was?), in fact, a Black & White cat.
