Our recommendations how to take care of Don (donskoy) sphynx, Sphinx cats, kittens.



Caring for a cat don (donskoy) sphynx breed.


Part of "Cat breeding" on this site, I participated in about half of 2009 due to have (mostly) the future owners an idea of how to choose a cat, what basic equipment to buy her a little as i care about her.

In the following lines I want to focus on advice on diet, training and care of Don Sphynx, sfinx. Right at the beginning I want to point out that these tips are based on my experience and the experience of breeders Don's, which I proved. And they are only recommendations. If you are in your farming did not work and search for further experiment, each cat is individual existence :0) with your own nature.


Food


       All cats are carnivores. Conversely speaking - carnivorous lion is a cat and carnivorous tiger is a cat. And yours miniature leopard, who sleeps in your living room is a carnivore.

However, our carnivores are compared to those "natural" one problem - you can not catch food and must eat what they give. And here's the problem.

Obrázek kočky a myšky... The classic "street" cat will catch a couple mice a day (ideally not intoxicated), which is: meat, blood, bones, tendons, cartilage, fat (if it's thick mouse :0)), fiber in the digestive tract of mice and also the skin with hair, you can refute, so you clean your own digestive tract from vylízanej own hair.

From time to time to "spice up" a sparrow if it sometimes fails in the hunt, as well as earthworms ..... What a perfect food!

Try to mix your domestic cat! Therefore, man invented granules cats and cans, in which the "chemical lab" mixes everything that you thought that there should have cats. It is obvious that none of us can not let the flat family of mice, just to delight your cat (or that? :0)). Therefore, for us, so we feed the cat.

Ideal cat food is meat.


Meat for Don sphynx - hairless cats...

Ideal is :
  • beef (neck, shoulder, calf) - min. 48 throw frozen in a freezer at -24 °C (protection against toxoplasmosis) (-24 °C in a freezer when you have your freezer 4 stars - one star means -6 °C :0)). The blood that spilled during thawing, do not put away. Cats are like and it is a source of vitamins and minerals.
  • chicken - breasts, thighs, wings, neck, heart and stomach - any time, the liver only once a week (liver contains large amounts of vitamin A). Chicken should be cooked - because of salmonella, but our cats do not want cooked meat, so i give them raw chicken.
  • fish - if your cat likes fish, so you will be grateful for the fillets cooked in water. Our cats fish once refused, but now the fillets go tear, but not Pangasius. Even cats are such a specialist, that you may only eat fish from the same manufacturer! I get is canned fish, especially for cats, but we do not want them. Since most of our "human" differ in that they do not salt.
  • Rabbit - excellent meat for cats (of course for people is the highest quality rabbit meat), but we do not have access to them and because of the cats will not hunt for him (we is not "may" even where such amazing).
  • pork is not in this list. Why do not cats fed pig, it will find themselves... it is as homework. :0).
  • whether cats can eat meat from wild animals, horses, or sheep meat, I do not know. Information about these kinds of meat you have to look somewhere on another site. :0).
We give our Don raw meat for dinner, because cats are the night creatures and so have the best food for them available in their most active part of the day.

Except raw meat for cats there are granule and canned food for cats :


Canned meat is actually cooked with sauce filled into cans or in tertapack package. There are added vitamins and complementary to those cheaper and is mixed flour, vegetable and animal waste :0).For cans should be read as containing tin. Laws manufacturers orders that must indicate the exact content of the product and we have to believe, that does not disappoint. Many quality cans contain more than 80% meat. Our cats get canned food for breakfast.

Granules are basically dry meat with the addition of various "sticky" substance (to the spill - when dried meat, and will crumble to dust and it should be something to glue together and formed into pellets), a mixture of vitamins and minerals and many times and various medicinal herbs. On the Internet you can read that in those cheaper feed are grinded and hooves, fur, beaks, feathers and so on. Whether you believe it is your thing, but it also applies here, that should be read. And in the granules (as well as canned and raw meat) and care enough to taste your cat. Many breeders feed the cats ONLY pellets and even always the same. I find it so, as if I had all my life to eat buttered bread. I would guess it didn't. Therefore, our cats always have several dishes with different kinds of chips from different manufacturers, most of the granule are for kittens because they contain the most energy. Can the selection throughout the day to taste and have no problems with digestion.

Obrázek kočky a sklenice mléka, může kočka pít mléko - jo múže ale specielní... Many people asked me what the truth is that the cat can not drink milk ... because each child has a picture cats always associated with a bowl of milk. However, this time on allergies or heard, but this affliction has affected even our pets. In the case of milk it really allergic to milk sugar - lactose, which can cause diarrhea. But like humans, cats also need to try. Try. Give your cat milk, milk Tatra (diluted), for whipping cream ... and if nothing happens to her these cow "products" treat. Acidic products such as sour cream, yogurt can eat cats without any problem, because milk fermentation and has undergone such milk no longer causes the allergy. This state of my milk to compare to what our vet that the milk not only for lactose intolerant, but also the devastating effect of casein on the lining of the intestine cats. Casein is said literally breaks down gradually epithelium of the small intestine and colon is gradually able to draw nutrients from food .... something similar, as in humans with celiac disease. When I said that surely the classic domestic cat drink milk without problems, so he asked me if I know how much those cats live longer. So I remained silent and give our cats just fermented milk products. On the net I found it much, so instead I will not risk it. And you have to decide according to your discretion.

In addition to the above mentioned cat food would not eat anything else, although I must admit that our kittens love to fighting for pieces of dry bread and known cases of the cats go tear a creamy spaghetti. But that is always just an exception, not the main food ingredient. I think the cat's diet because of needless stress and be in many cases, use common sense. Cat itself knows best what her tastes and when you find here and proper food and brand, so treat it to her - of course, unless it is chocolate cake. Warning - chocolate is toxic to cats.

When any food your main to determine if the cat is not whether the parasite or from a nutritional point of view hurt. If not, it just - good taste!


Don Sphynx (donskoy sfinx) Care :


Obrázek starostlivost o bezsrstú kočku don sphynx, sfinx The cat kept in each an apartment with necessary care so that you had her at least once a day pick. Even so, it will not stop you everywhere in the apartment had no hair.

Sphynx do not have to pick :0), but these cats are a little sweat, so it is best to bathe them regularly. In winter, once a week, twice in summer. Our beauty bath in a way like small children: fill the little warm water, put the cat into the bath, wet, apply baby shampoo, rinse and wrap in towels. Clean the eyes, ears and nails. This all takes me about 8 minutes and hygiene is complete. Madam (or gentleman) is ready to lie down with you to your bed :0).

On the skin, the Don sphynx gave no cream - it can not, it's unnatural for them, worse as bathing. And it is also unnecessary. And maybe even unhealthy. I personally do not know what all creams contain. Dony are exclusively domestic cats. That must not go out in winter, it goes without saying, but even in summer would not go out because very quickly the sun burned.


Training :

Perhaps pausing over the fact that cat and training, but it's true. Cat I must know where the rinks! Dony are calm, quiet and intelligent breed. Don's kittens are kittens but also just a romp as well as children. However, if the cat at the age of 4 months do not show where its boundaries, and she will not master you. And you probably want.

Proto :
  • if you do not want the cat sleeping in your bed, so it never once let go there!
  • the same applies to eating from your plate :0)
  • consistently account (using repellents - buy the animal needs) cat that your couch is her scratching post.
  • scratching paint herbs (tincture spray - also buy the animal needs) feline pleasant nose, is accustomed to, it is a place that can "tear".
  • never let a cat in the block "the run around" the hall where there is a danger of its release
  • let the cat scratching to you after your feet - it hurts!
Training included is an excellent means "washer on flowers, where you can switch from spray mist to direct jet of water. Such a good shot STRIKE water to replace all rebuke. And with a great educational effect! And in an advanced stage of training is sufficient to just wipe the cat show and she knows it not.
