I just found this from a study at Banfield Pet Hospital, Portland,
Oregon, USA
Discussion
Analyses of the data revealed four key points:
• HCM and DCM are fairly uncommon in cats, and
RCM and TCM are rare.
• Male cats are at increased risk.
• HCM was most common in geriatric cats, and
DCM and RCM most common in mature adults.
• For breeds in which 10 or more cats were diagnosed,
HCM was most common in Persian, Maine
coon and DLH cats.
also out of 2610 only 2 cats had TCM so that is .08%
hopefully it is fairly accurate, plus being mixed I would imagine the risk is lower
