The American curl cat weighs 3-5 kg and has a slender and well-proportioned body structure. What makes this breed special is its distinctive curled ears. Unlike Scottish Folds, two Curl cats can mate to produce normal offspring.
There are 3 degrees of curling: mild, partial, and full crescent (best). The American Curl was recognized by TICA in 1985 and CFA in 1991. The first American Curl arrived in France in 1988, and the breed was introduced to the UK in 1995.
Caring for American Short-eared cats
Hair also needs to be groomed, even in shorthair cats. The grooming of the hair is best practice fixed and regular. Groom at least once a week and at the same time each time. After combing, aim for a glossy and smooth hair. Proceed as follows:
Tools are needed to prepare for combing: antelope skin, Uncle Jin’s comb, bristle brush, rubber brush; adjust the cat’s mood, and then comb after he relaxes. If he resists, don’t force it. First, use a metal comb to comb the hairs that are tangled together, and pay attention to whether there are black spots infected by fleas when combing. The black dots are flea droppings, so be careful to remove them. When grooming, use a bristle brush to brush the entire body, including the abdomen, in the direction of hair growth. When brushing, the movements should be clear, so as not to hurt the cat. After brushing, there will be shedding hairs that stick to the fur, which should be removed with a rubber brush to make the fur smooth and clean. On the grooming coat finish, a few drops of a fur protectant every few weeks will help remove oil and restore color and shine to your cat’s coat. Scrub the cat’s skin with chamois to further remove surface dirt. In addition, regular petting and a healthy diet will also make the coat beautiful.
Training of American Bobtails
When the American curl-eared cat first lived in the wild, chasing prey and looking for food could stimulate it psychologically, and it could also exercise its survival ability. The cat had a sufficient sense of achievement in the victory over and over again, which was beneficial to its body and mind. Healthy development can naturally make it happy. And cats raised at home do not have to go out to find food, and life becomes boring. Its happy life is entirely up to the owner to create. Cats love to grind their claws because they have fun. For the consideration of furniture at home, prepare a cat climbing frame for it! It seems to be natural for cats to be tall, and it likes to look down at the scene from a high place. Having a tall perch for it will make it extra exciting. You can also develop some small acrobatics and train cats to do it. Of course, use food as a reward, it will have a great sense of accomplishment when you complete the task and get food. Goldfish and birds will always have his eyes on him. It’s a very good toy, but all beings are equal, so you can only see it but not touch it.
