What is nebelung?
In Europe in the 1960s, especially the United Kingdom, there was a tendency for Russian blue cats to return to their original short stature and dark coat features. American breeders have thus created variants with delicate heads, bodies and claws, lighter coats and lighter weights. The Russian blue cat is hugely popular in the US and Japan (where people simply adore it). In the 1980s, after several crossbreeds, a semi-long-haired Russian blue breed called Nebelung was born.

nebelung living habits
Very quiet, shy, happy to please, resourceful, friendly and a good parent cat. The call is very soft, and it is not disturbing even when it is in heat. I don’t go out very often, preferring to stay indoors. Has excellent adaptability, and loves tranquility and has a gentle personality.
nebelung rearing
The nebelung is very long. Many cat friends send them to pet stores for shaving in order to take care of their cats’ hair. Of course, this can reduce the cat’s hair loss, but they must choose a regular pet store to avoid unprofessional shaving of cats. . In addition to maintenance, the feeding of nebelung is also very important. Cat friends should pay special attention to what they can eat and what they can’t eat.
Feeding requirements for nebelung
suitable food
Homemade cat rice (without rice): Poultry meat (chicken, duck, quail, rabbit, etc.) is best, and can be paired with fish, beef, a small amount of offal, and a very small amount of seafood. Pay attention to the combination of meat and the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of cat rice.
Canned Cats: Staple Food Cans
Cat food: natural food, high-end commercial food (long-term dry food is also risky, after all, dry food contains a lot of starch, usually it is best to match it with homemade cat rice or canned cat food)
Raw flesh and blood: (controversial, personally do not recommend it in the Celestial Dynasty, interested students please learn relevant knowledge first)
Cat rice calcium to phosphorus ratio: 1:1 (all meats have more phosphorus and less calcium, so pay attention to the extra addition of calcium)
Calcium options: pet-specific calcium tablets/calcium powder, bone meal, oyster calcium carbonate (liquid calcium for children), eggshell powder
Food that is the next best thing (in the case of poor family conditions)
Bibimbap/Pasta: (Cats are carnivores, starch can’t provide them with the nutrients they need, please try to eat less rice and more meat)
Leftovers: (must be rinsed with hot water or water to remove oil and salt)
