The Siberian cats are capricious representatives of the cat's world whose homeland was an extensive territory of the Trans-Ural region. Having the "Siberian" health, they are considered as long-livers. On average they live 15-20 years. Domestic Siberian cats inherited a lot of things from the wild ancestors. How it is correct to support them in the house and to provide them due care?
Instruction
1. Representatives of this breed not only prefer "to walk in itself", but also often choose in favourites only of the owner or one of family members. And the Siberian cat will hardly begin to make up to those. As a rule, he comes to knees to the owner only when wants, and allows to stroke himself only in case he is not against. The willfulness and love for open space give it the chance to feel much better in the private house, than in the city apartment.
2. Despite a royal look, the Siberian cats are very unpretentious including in food. The young kitten while he grows and gains strength, eats about 6 times a day. And to an adult Siberian cat of rather 2-times food. At the same time food has to be balanced therefore resolve an issue of a food allowance with the manufacturer and the veterinarian even before appearance of the Siberian cat at your place.
3. The Siberian cats are owners of magnificent wool which according to the standard can be different shades: from classical striped (with white socks and a shirtfront) to tiger, marble, spotty, shinshillovy and even tortoise color. Wool has a dense underfur which saves the Siberian cats from a temperature difference. Buy two combs (with dense and frequent teeths) and comb a cat 1-2 times a week. Do it at first by a dense crest, then frequent and always in the direction of growth. It is interesting that even without combing hair of the Siberian cats does not get off in koltuna and does not lose a royal look.
4. Bathe the Siberian cat only as a last resort. For this purpose gather in a basin of warm water (37-38 degrees), muffle a shower that the cat was not frightened, and moisten his wool with water. Use special dlinnoshersty cats shampoo. Carefully wash away it, wrap up a cat in a big towel and blot its wool, several times changing towels. After that comb a cat that he when it is licked, did not gorge on wool. In process of growth regularly cut to a cat claws on 1-2 mm, without touching a blood vessel.
5. As the Siberian cat is by nature allocated with a fine hunting instinct, buy to it moving toys. If he lives in the private house, then and itself will bring mouse and rat trophies to you for show. For this reason just in case it is better to hold far away from the Siberian cat of domestic small birdies and decorative rats.
