We had two sphynx. One of them had congestive heart failure at a very young age, and there wasn't anything to do. We kept him comfortable as long as we cold, and he made it about a year before he was in enough distress that it was time to euthanized him. A few weeks later we discovered that other one was coughing because he was in the end stages of congestive heart failure; we had to euthanize him less than a month after we lost our first. We now have another that's been on blood thinners for about a year because he has congestive heart failure also.
About 10% of all cats have heart disease, and that can go up sharply in some breeds.
