Games
These cats are well trained, but it is necessary to start up their upbringing as early as possible. They can not shout: they understand the intonation of the voice and capture the mood. If they for some reason make misconduct and hide, in order to lure them out of asylum, it is enough to open a crane with water, because Snow-shu is not indifferent to it. So that the cat does not cradle small objects, it is necessary to provide it with its toys that it will be constantly worn in the teeth, like prey.

Upbringing
To make the cat grew by dyed and sharp, the atmosphere in the house should be calm. The active cat grows in the house where there is no screaming and manual design. Its punishment can be a strict voice of the owner, to carry for the withers or poke the muzzle, the guilty animal is useless. From this, it simply loses confidence and tries to be from everyone away that it is usually unusual.
It is important to provide a kitten with a sowed and playing complex . He must have his own bowl with food and water. The house should have certain rules and regime to which all households are subject. Seeing this, pet and self adaptation under the existing rules. In the same place where there is no order from the owners, it makes no sense to look for it in the animal. It should not need food or attention, all this is part of the education and responsibility of man.
You can not put a kitten sleeping with you in one bed . These are the most erasing the boundaries of his understanding of the place, he perceives himself a smooth owner, which can further grow into the problems of education and the need for behavior correction. An animal should know the place of recreation, which is his Lena.
Optionally, you can buy it an additional house or even a hammock on the battery, where it will be warm and cozy.
What to feed?
The pledge of cat health is its weight. Of course, it should not be broken or, on the contrary, too thin. Everything is good in moderation, so it is important to choose the right diet. For example, it is impossible to feed the animal with an industrial feed. Despite the assurances of manufacturers in its exceptional benefits, it cannot provide a pet with all the necessary vitamins and useful substances.
Cat food must be balanced. From time to time, you can make a variety by means of wet feed. But natural food must be present in the diet. For example, the cat should receive fish and low-fat meat, as well as a special grass for cats. Occasionally, it is necessary to give the pet egg yolks, as well as fermented milk products (with the exception of cream and sour cream).
It is allowed to include in the diet of kefira, ryazhenki and prostruck. In addition to them, in the main food you can add raw oatmeal. Useful food for a cat will be some varieties of fruits and vegetables that can be given in boiled or raw form. In order to purify the stomach from woolen lumps (when losing the wool of the cat itself), you can give pets of wheat sprouts or oats. Meat or fish the cat must be given in boiled form. In addition to them, from time to time he will have to give special vitamin complexes, observing the dosage indicated by the specialist.
As for the choice of feed, it should be based on the age of cats. When it is elected, it is necessary to pay attention to the type of wool, and on the features of health. When choosing natural food, it is important to ensure that there are no artificial additives in the products. Wherein Small kittens are fed more often, as they are cultivated, multiplicity reduces, increasing the volume of each portion . Kittens usually feed no more than six times a day. Cat of the two-year-old age does not need to feed more often than two times per day. He can be given in the morning in the morning and evening.
You can not feed the cat with food from your table. It is impossible to feed it with stupid food and monotonous food. For example, the same meat can be different (it may be beef, turkey, chicken).
In addition, you can give a pet for offal (chicken stomachs, hearts, wings). From vegetables, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes and even cabbage must be present in the diet. Cereals (buckwheat, rice, manka and heroles) will be useful.
Water for the cat should always be clean and fresh. Food bowrs can be both ceramic and metal. Plastic products are much worse, because they are quickly covered with scratches, in which they can settle the colonies of bacteria over time. In addition, plastic cannot be called completely harmless material, because some of its varieties in the process of operation are distinguished by harmful substances into the air.
Some products of snow-shu can not be given. For example, a pork and river fish, milk and potatoes, spices, salinity and smoked, spices were included in the list of products unresolved.
It is impossible to treat the "white-white" sausage and sausages. In addition, it is categorically contraindicated to feed pussies with sweets that can harm the teeth and provoke the appearance of allergic reactions.
Vaccination
As a rule, when the kitten is taken from the nursery, it is vaccinated. However, during his life, he can not do without the necessary vaccinations. They are performed according to ordinary graphics, putting comprehensively in early childhood and repeating the necessary vaccinations every year. An individual schedule can be appointed only in hotel cases. It is worth considering: There are periods when the vaccine's contribution is unacceptable. For example, it is impossible to do that when the kids change their teeth (usually from four to eight months). In addition, it is impossible to vaccinate pregnant cats and individuals with weakened immunity.
As for the nuances of vaccinations, then approximately 10 days before the introduction of the vaccine, the nursery gives an anthermal agent.
Breeding
Knitting cats is carried out according to the standard scheme. At the same time, the mobility does not deliver the difficulties: it is much more important to get kittens close to the standard, because half the litter is far from it. As a rule, the first pots in cats are under the age of the year. However, it, as well as the second, should be skipped. Specialists are recommended to perform a mating when the cat will be at about a year and a half . It is advisable to choose the pair in the same nursery where the kitten itself was chosen. Doubtful individuals are not suitable, as this leads to the degeneration of the breed and various diseases of the kittens born in this mating.
The ideal partner for mating must be a purebred, well-groomed, neat. In addition, this individual should have a pedigree, it must be vaccinated and healthy. Someone draws attention to the criteria of the color and even on the length of the so-called socks: if they have a long cat, then the cat should be small and, on the contrary.
The unlawful rule during viscosity is the fact that one kitten often picks up the owner of the cat. This nuance must be specified in advance. Sometimes instead of the individual, the owner of the "Groom" pay the value of the baby.
As for the frequency of mating, the breeders believe that in a year a cat is enough to give birth no more than once . This may be connected with the state of its health and the degree of exhaustion of the body (the more often the childbirth, the less the forces on the subsequent beating of kittens). After the birth of the kids, the first three months of her strength will go to feeding. At times she can bring from three to seven kids. If you do a mating often, the cat will get sick.
Its organism will be subject to various infectious diseases. She herself will not only lose weight, but will change and externally. Her wool will become dim, and the view is painful and weak. In addition, frequent childbirth will affect the life expectancy of the animal: such a cat will not live long. Despite the fact that kittens are expensive, this nuance should not harm the cat's mother's health.
When there are estates, and the mating does not work, this indicates the malfunction of the body. Abstinence can cause serious diseases of the reproductive system. In general, the cat's birth proceeds without complications, although most of the kittens are born with a hooked tail. The cost of the kitten can be up to 15,000 rubles. Purebred individuals with perfect coloring cost more: the price of such kittens varies from 30,000 to 80,000 rubles and more. However, the partner must also be not only purebred, but stacked in the established standard.
If the owner does not plan to breed kittens, pet castrates or sterilize.
