Expert Advice
Care Tips
- The oily coat can become greasy; occasional baths may be necessary unlike most cats.
- Check the 'britches' (long hair on back legs) frequently for debris or mats.
- Use a deshedding tool during spring and fall to manage their heavy seasonal shed.
- Their tufted ears also need occasional cleaning to prevent wax buildup.
- Brush at least twice weekly with a wide-tooth comb to prevent the undercoat from felting.
