Food

You will need a high-quality diet rich in animal protein (minimum 70%). It is necessary to avoid giving feed that contains cereals and / or by-products as they could cause allergies, since it does not have the enzymes that are necessary to take advantage of them.

The feeder is recommended to be full 24 hours. The Neva Masquerade cat eats a little several times a day, so it is best if he has food at his free disposal. In addition, this will be more comfortable for your human family, since you will only have to worry about putting food on it in the morning and / or in the afternoon if it is empty.

Likewise, the animal must have clean and fresh water. This is always important, but even more so in summer when the temperatures are highest.

Hygiene

Daily we have to brush it with a card to prevent hair from tangling. It is also important that we clean his eyes from time to time with a clean gauze moistened with a chamomile infusion.

On the other hand, it is important to remove the stool from the sand every day, and carry out a thorough cleaning of it once a week or once a month depending on the type of sand used. In this sense, you should know that clumping sand, although it is somewhat more expensive, lasts longer than normal; In fact, if you only live with one cat, you may only need to clean the litter box once a month.

Exercise

Everyday you have to take time to play with himEither with a string, a ball made of aluminum foil, or with a stuffed animal. It is also advisable to let it go out to the garden or patio if they are fenced and / or have some type of net that prevents leaks so that it can go around.

Another option is to teach him to walk with a harness and leash when he is a puppy, as we explain in this article. But it is only interesting to take it out for a walk if the area where you live is quiet and there is hardly any traffic. For example, in a city it should not be taken out, as the animal would feel very stressed and afraid.

"Salud"

Being a pure breed, that is, it has not been manipulated by humans, it is in very good health. Sometimes it can fall ill, have colds or the flu, like any other cat. In case you suspect that he is unwell, take him to the vet.
