Never put him on meds for the heart. I know he had at least one EKG somewhere down the line. He was mellow to an extent. He hated the vets as he got older. At home he was very laid back. When I got him I had two other cats that were close to each other. Smokey was the people kitty.. the lap cat.
He had other health issues as he got older (hyperthyroid that had to be irradiated twice), none of which were a breed issue.
Usually to diagnose the cause of a murmur they'll want to do xrays or an echocardiogram to help in determining the exact reason for the murmur. Alot of it is up to the pet owner. Me.. I've aways wanted to know why something is going on in case there's a way to fix it or treat it to assure their quality of life is the best it can be.
