Two 2-month-old kittens presented with a loud cardiac murmur. One cat showed severe signs of heart failure such as respiratory effort and exercise intolerance. Echocardiography revealed left ventricular concentric hypertrophy and severe left ventricular outflow obstruction. They died at 5 and 12 months of age, respectively. Necropsy and histopathology confirmed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
