Exotic shorthair cat is characterized primarily by the fact that it is very similar to a Persian. All parameters, colors, indicators of these breeds coincide. An exception is the length, quality of the coat and the fact that all possible errors that are hidden in long-haired cats, these are on display. It can be concluded that the exotic should be almost the same as the long-haired cat, only better. Exotic Shorthair is balanced, compact, has a massive, heavy skeleton. However, it has no angles. All of it is like a streamlined round ball. Rounded ears, round head, slightly convex, expressive, wide-open eyes. Short neck, plump cheeks. The representative of this breed looks like a nice girl on short thick legs with a small tail.
Exotic cats are playful and light in nature, which allows them to seamlessly fit into life at home, giving great pleasure to children and adults. Very gentle and gentle exotics calmly await your permission to immediately jump into your arms and hug with your paws. Charming, easy to care for, well-mannered, they are almost ideal pets. Another truly outstanding feature of this breed is its magnificent coat. It is dense, soft, medium long, silky, must have an undercoat so that it is difficult to get to the skin. If we talk about length, then this is an unprincipled question, the main thing is that the coat is “standing”, which is most often achieved precisely due to the dense thick undercoat.
It should be noted that the exotic shorthair is quite selective in its sympathies. For all her love of love and tenderness, she first looks closely for a long time before giving any attention to the person who interested her. But how touching then her love, care and appreciation.
Exotic cats are incorruptible and ideal friends. Although keeping animals of this breed is not particularly difficult, this does not mean at all that they do not need to be given attention. Exot is simply vital to the love of the owner. Any moving, traveling for him will not be a problem, if the owner is nearby. Among other advantages, the exotic shorthair is a caring and attentive mother. However, it may seem that she gives birth to children only to have someone to play with.
These cats need to be trained in bathing and combing from childhood. Up to 3 months they can be bathed weekly, without waiting until the kitten gets dirty. For adaptation, this is the most important age. For care, you will need a metal comb with rounded, frequent and short teeth, a combination brush that has an antistatic coating, and a rubber glove. It is also advisable to purchase balms, antistatic agents, conditioners, shampoos that indicate color and moisturize the skin. All this is now present in pet stores.
Daily care is desirable, but not vital. The main purpose of combing is to massage the skin, which stimulates blood circulation, so that the coat is denser and thicker. Dead rubber is removed with a rubber gauntlet to prevent them from entering the stomach. The same result can be achieved using a massage brush, which is usually used during molting.
If the growth of the coat is too strong, trimming is necessary, but animals with painted and smoky colors do not trim. Once a week, an adult needs to be combed out with a metal comb with round teeth. Bathing exot is recommended at least once a month. As for feeding, the best option will be feed of the highest class.
