Thinking of having a pet? Have you already made a choice: a cat, a dog, a bird or a hamster? You like the affectionate cat, purring sweetly when she is stroking the fur. With her less trouble, she is clean, requires little attention to herself, as you think. Have you already decided on the breed? Like the Persians. Yes, these cats are very beautiful. But their character is not easy. And who said that it’s not troublesome to take care of a Persian cat? Let's discuss this.
Beautiful and fluffy
Some people like ordinary yard shorthair cats, and some are delighted with exotic breeds. You decided to have a longhair cat and settled on the Persians. Kittens are so cute and fluffy. “And how beautiful and elegant Persian cats look ...” - looking at the photo, you note to yourself. I especially like extreme sports. Their flattened face is so pretty. Did you know that a Persian cat needs special care? And with the character these animals.
Any pet requires special care and attention to itself. Dogs need to be fed and clearly monitor nutrition, walk, educate and teach the rules of life in a room next to a person. Those who think that cats are less trouble think wrongly. Murlyk also needs to be educated and accustomed to follow certain rules. The cat must clearly know the place where he should go to the toilet, where he can play, eat. And to accustom them is not easy. All members of the feline family are very complex. They are more difficult than others to educate. No wonder they say that a cat is by itself. She will not allow you to stroke yourself if she does not want to. And if there is a grudge, then be sure to take revenge on the offender. And her sharp claws, teeth and a loud hiss, not at all like a gentle meow, will be used.
How to care for Persian cats
If a Persian cat walks around your house, then you know how much trouble it is. Firstly, the Persians need to be fed a food rich in vitamins. If their body does not receive a sufficient amount of necessary microelements with food, then over time the fur will fade and begin to fall out, claws will stratify and crumble.
Secondly, the Persian cat needs daily combing and periodic bathing. It is especially good to comb the hair in the neck, under the face, and on the stomach. Here, very often, tangled sections of a cat's fur coat are formed. Often you can’t bathe a cat. But as for the Persians, after each trip to the toilet you need to clean the area of the anus with warm water. The remains of feces, drying up on the wool, look unaesthetically and irritate the animal.
Thirdly, the Persian cat is very lazy. She loves to lie on upholstered furniture, swing on carpets. Be prepared for the fact that you will need to do daily cleaning in the home.
Fourth, it is difficult to accustom her to the toilet, set in a certain place. Do not believe it if they say that the Persian cat is very well-mannered and accustomed to go where the owner demands. Not! She chooses the toilet herself, and the owner will have to come to terms with this. And there is one subtlety. If her toilet is not cleaned in time, the Persian cat will go to mark a new place, and nothing will force her to return to the previous pot.
As you can see, it is not so easy to care for a Persian cat. If you decide to have this kitty in your house, then get ready for the fact that there will be a lot of trouble. Get an animal only if you are ready to fully care for it, clearly following all the rules.
