Grooming & Care Guide
Their short, sleek coat requires minimal grooming; a weekly brushing is sufficient. They thrive on interaction and mental stimulation, so provide plenty of toys, cat trees, and puzzle feeders.
Diet & Nutrition
Feed a high-quality diet appropriate for their age and activity level. Monitor portions as they can be prone to obesity if under-exercised. Consult your vet for specific nutritional advice.
