The appearance of a house fluffy baby

Only bringing young Scottish Fold to the house should not immediately allow him to wear throughout the dwelling, it is enough to provide him with a kitchen, a hall and a toilet. Ideally, it is better in the first days to cut the habitat of Novosel to one room, where there are no drafts, and there are no holes where the little kitten could slip out, and where it will be difficult to extract it.


Preferably, at the time of addiction to a new home, put fluffy in the kitchen. There you need to organize a bed, toilet capacity and a drinking plane and food. Avudine with food should not be near the toilet tray or resting place. It is necessary to allow young Scottish Fold, to explore everything and linked.

You should be neat when you meet a new baby with other pets. It is enough to imagine yourself in his place, and it will be possible to estimate the difficulty of the position of the small kitten. If the cat shows a desire, it can be frozen with him using a roll on a string or a ball.


If he does not want to communicate, hides, it is better not to disturb him, allow it to be mastered independently. In the end, it is hungry, wants to play and get to the people. As a rule, the initial period of adaptation takes 2-3 days, and a week later, the pet is already fully accustomed.

You should not allow the kitten to amuse with ropes, packages, pins, butt, laces, tangles and filaments. Extremely dangerous for cats Miscele rain. You need to hide the paint materials and facilities for cleaning.

Young Scottish Folds is better not to indulge, they should understand the word "it is impossible." It is permissible to punish a slightly to sprawl) is permissible only after the committed, since the baby's more distant teaching will not be able to compare with its actions.


It is not necessary to regret leisure to the cattle of the cat, it is wrong to think that in the nursery he already instilled all skills. The little Scot found was in a new house, and you need to give him to understand what the rules here. Only the owners can raise a comrades from the kitten.

Drugs for people can not be given without the consent of the veterinarian.

The toilet container can be filled with absorbent material (then the tray with high sides and without a grid) or empty.


In the first days, the tray is not carefully separated, because the kitten goes on the smell. If the small Scottish Fold was not going there, then you need to moisten a piece of paper in the urine and put in the toilet capacity, then put a pet and make it a digging of digging.

The same place where he went, you need to carefully launder with a detergent, such as "Domasestos" or to treat vinegar. In the first week you can place the napkin blocks for saving the smell in the lattice container. Do not let the animal wander around the rooms while he has not mastered the toilet.


Feeding

We should not worry, if the cat does not want to eat at first. At times, you can offer goodies to it, and in case of refusal to clean. It is preferable to feed the kitten with a heated meal, and not directly from the refrigerator.

When the kid is 2-4 months old, it needs to be fed 4 or 5 times per day. At 4-8 months, three times enough. After 8 months, there may be enough couples once a day.

How to wash kittens Breed Scottish Fold

It is necessary to introduce your young Scots to the water and adapt it to the bathroom when he is still an inquisitive adolescent age of 2-4 months. Sometimes it happens that the lophehi kittens themselves are very close to the bath, filled with water, in order to see how their owner will be not safe there and enjoy washing.


Most of the kittens are hard to force to approach the water tank. Feline usually fear of water flow noise, so the owners should be neat with a jet pressure. The water temperature for bathing kittens is chosen pleasant for them, slightly less than 36c.

If the bath is hotter, the baby will be hard, it will show the language, to breathe intense, like a dog, and will break away. And in cold water, the kitten will frown, will tremble and can catch a cold.

It is necessary to make the procedure pleasant to the pet to wash it please. It happens that kittens are purred from delight, if they stroke the caller with shampoo. Floating toys are able to become the things that will attract the animal to the bathroom and make it fall in love.

We must not forget about precautions. When the owner teaches a pet is not afraid of something, say, a filled bath, he must first make sure that it can not really be dangerous for the cat.

The way to wash the animal depends on the quality of the fur. There are such individuals that are not required to be washed, since they are in nature are clean and, regularly losing, maintain wool in perfect condition. But the cats with skin sores need to wash at least once a week.


Before the start of water procedures, it is necessary to make them safe. At the bottom of the washing capacity, some rug is put on, so as the cat's limbs did not slip. Before applying shampoo, it is necessary to protect the animal's eyes, pinning in them in a pair of droplets of a special oil or you can use the eye ointment.

Pet genitals are protected by a specialized gel. In the ears, cotton plugs are inserted, so that no moisture was leaked there. At the end of the water procedures need to get them.

Getting Started, you need to wet the cat fur with pleasant water, smeared with a suitable shampoo and thoroughly rinse. Apply household chemicals to cats (for example, dishes washing) and the shampoos for people are prohibited. This may entail the appearance of powerful allergies, and will have to hastily go to a specialist and undergo a prescribed treatment course for the regeneration of fur and skin.


It is necessary to know that not only human, but special feline shampoos, rinsing agents and rims to improve the type of fur are different with different acidity, and their correct use affects the health of the fastener of the pet.

Preferably, the use of elite feline products for washing fur and grinding, for example:

  • american stamps: "Groomer s GOOP", "EZ-GROOM", "JEROB";
  • french "Anju-Beaute";
  • italian "IV San Bernard";
  • spanish "PSH - Pet's Show Hairdresser";
  • thai "Breeder-Care".

They are made from natural, useful raw materials, these tools lead to the NORM PH-Balance in cat leather.
Air-conditioning rinsers are used to mitigate the fur to make it easier to hate it, and also this tool is healing the fur after the winter period with low humidity in the room.


Most of the air-conditioning springs is used at the end of wiping the animal to a towel or drying it with a hairdryer (include an exceptionally cold blowing on the maximum power, the hair dryer is kept at least in half a meter).

It is strictly forbidden to put the kitten on the draft. You need to slam the windows of the door so that the kid does not leave. Upon completion of the wash, the cat will become long and thoroughly lubricate, so it is necessary to rinse the shampoo as much as possible (the fur under the palm shall trust), so that the hunter did not heat the shampoo from the unimproved areas, but did not choose.


Shampoos and foams for dry cleaning are used only in cases where the water procedures for some reason are prohibited. Before applying the means from fleas and ticks, you need to make sure that they are feline. They are applied and combined only according to the instructions and for their intended purpose.

Prevent disease and vaccination

In preventive purposes, to avoid infectious diseases, cats put different vaccinations. Introduced on time vaccines form immunity to combat grave ailments. Kids are primary vaccinated at the age of three months.


It is strictly forbidden to use the Azinox tool for these purposes, it leads to a neurotic cutting of cats. And on the vaccination of the Fold, the pet should be in perfect condition.

Approximate vaccination plan:

  • Vaccination against rinotracheitis, punching and calicivirus, such as "Nobivak tricket".
    After 3-4 weeks, the repetition.
  • Another month later the vaccination is made against the rings. The drug "Microderm" or "Vakderm-F". The last 10 days last vaccine is repeated.
  • Anti-rabies vaccinate pets depending on the relevance of this infection on the territory, in the area where the cat lives. After the first vaccination, the same is reused every year throughout the life of the individual.
  • Feline to drive out worms should be 1 or 2 times a year, wherever the animal lives, in the apartment or at the cottage. Preparations: "Febtal" and "Dronal Plus".


Vaccination schedule:

  • Baby of about two months from the family. "TRICAT" against a calicivirus infection, punching and viral tracheite.
  • Teen three months old. "Tricat + (R)" against the three aids above and more from rabies.
    Individual, which is 1 year. The previous multidisciplinary vaccination "Tricat + (R)" is repeated.

It is better not to try to vaccinate your pets self-person, but to contact professional veterinarians in a veterinary department. And it is important not to seen about the record of records about the vaccinations in the veterinary passport of its favorite.

Breed Scottish Fold (Scottish Fold) appeared in 1961. It was then at one of the Scottish farms was accidentally discovered a cute kitten with funny downwards. To date, the breed was divided into two branches: with straight (Scottish Straight) and hanging (Scottish Fold) ears. If you have become the owner of the baby last species, then you are incredibly lucky. In addition to charming face and plush fur coat, these cats have a remarkably calm and fitful temper.

Features of breed

All the Scots with straight ears are born, which get the final form (remain sticking or lowered down) for 2.5-3 months. This breed is very close to the exterior to the British, so often people are even confused. But as for character, there are significant differences here. The British are more independent and arrogant, while the real scotties everyone adore for their duplicate, affectionate and even character. But sometimes there are copies with an admixture of the British, and then thirst for freedom and independence will be torn from time to time.

Kittens-Scottles are incredibly smart and perfectly study all the necessary skills. In addition, if you start the kid just this breed, then happily avoid usual in other cases damage to the property (ripped curtains, broken VAZ and furniture in scratches). Childhood Scottish is measured measuring and powerively.

By purchasing Scots, keep in mind that they are very sociable and require attention. If you spend a little time and the cat will have to stay alone for a long time, it is better to stop your choice on another breed. Alternatively, buy two kids at once so that they do not bored.

Fold Scottish kittens are distinguished by wonderful health and severity, but even such trouble-free pets require attention and care to feel good and fully developed.

How to prepare for the appearance in the house of the kitten

It is more correct to take the baby at the age of two or three months. During this period, they already have all the external signs of the breed and become quite independent to part with mom.

In order for the kitten to be comfortable in a new house, it is better to learn in advance from the breeder its food and other preferences, information about the usual filler for the toilet and feeding schedule. When going to take a cat, first purchase all the necessary accessories: a soft bed or a special house, bowls for feed and water, a toilet and a filler for it, recommended by the minimum of veterinary preparations. Do not forget about toys!

To stay with the convenience of transporting the animal to a new place of residence, and for other future travel, you will need a comfortable and durable carrier container. When choosing it, note that the door can easily and reliably locked up, there was a sufficient amount of ventilation holes, and the handle was strong and comfortable. The base of the carrying should be wide enough and stable so that even in the car, it was not able to turn over when turned.

Do not forget to arrange inside a soft and warm novelschko for sleep. So that the baby is less survived when moving, you can put inside the temporary house with a rag with the smell of the old residence. It will calm the kitten and will help him easier to survive the first in life shifting the situation.

Hygienic procedures

Like any kids, the Scots need regular processing of wool, eye, ears and claws. These procedures should be accepted from the first days of stay in a new house.

  • The most important thing in the care of the Scottish Fold kittens is hygiene ears. It is this detail that the image of a real Fold Scottish and gives his appearance a special charm and uniqueness. Folded ears require special attention and care, as they are particularly susceptible to every unpleasant surprises, such as infection with an ear tick.

    Weekly need to be cleaned from the accumulated tax with a cotton stick and a special lotion that cannot be replaced by hydrogen peroxide and the more alcohol. Processing the ears should be very neat, not penetrating into the auditory pass, so that the cat does not feel pain and even just unpleasant sensations. When unusual discharge or crusts appear, and itching urgently show the crumb to the veterinarian. Most likely, the problem will require prolonged treatment with special drugs and more frequent hygienic procedures.

  • For eye processing, cotton swabs and a special disinfecting composition are used. Carefully follow the state of the eyes, and when the discharge (suppuration) appears, high tear or itching immediately contact a specialist. On the problems of the organs of view may indicate the atypical behavior of the animal (rubbed the pitfall, shakes his head). Such behavior may be caused by infectious lesions of the mucous membrane, the ingress of foreign objects or injury.
  • It is necessary to take a timely to the kitten to the staff of the coastal care, especially since they are unnecessary. For the coat of scottish, quite regular (couples a week) deductings. During molts, except for a special scallop, it is convenient to use a silicone mitch. She collects superbly superfluous.

    If the kitten was strongly stained, then it will have to wash it. Use only special shampoos for these purposes. Human remedies are categorically contraindicated, as they can cause severe allergies or violated the fat balance of the skin to such an extent that the pet has dandruff, and the fur coat will acquire an unhealthy, dim view. Without having to bathe, the kid should not be bathed, as the Scots are very clean and perfectly care for wool alone.

  • Caring for curls lies in their periodic haircut with a special tool (plumbing). You should cut only the most tip. If you have not slightly calculated and cut too much, treat the victim to the cohesion of hydrogen peroxide. Some owners remove claws to their pets. Scottish Fold Kittens do this not recommended. Silicone overhead caps are also better not to use.
  • Special care kits do not require, especially if its main diet consists of dry feed. His hard granules are perfectly coping with the removal of the ride from the teeth and strengthen their dears. Dental removal is made more adult features.

House for kid

All Scottishi are big Sibarites. They adore secluded and warm places. Taking into account these preferences and should choose the place in the house. The basket with a soft pillow, which you post in the most comfortable corner of the apartment, is best. In the cold season for the baby, the absence of drafts and the proximity of heating devices will be important. The Scots of the sun beds are very loved right on the battery.

It is important that during the rest of the cottage did not interfere with the door opening around the nearby and constantly driving homemade. Optimally adapted to create a cozy setting of houses for cats. They give the effect of privacy, have several tiers in case the pet raises climbing higher and from the height to evaluate the surrounding environment. In addition, these facilities are almost always equipped with clawing and comfortable fasteners for a variety of toys. The most practical coating for such a house is an artificial fur that can always be replaced by a new one.

If you purchased a house without scratching, it should be arranged separately. On sale there are already ready-made adaptations wrapped in rope, but practice shows that the plaid kittens prefer them the usual unstore boards.

All kids love toys. And kittens are no exception. Arrange a feline corner with all sorts of fur mouses, latex balls and pendants of feathers or rustling paper pieces. In order not to occur dangerous for the baby and the techniques of situations, remove all the wires that are under voltage.

Relationship with toilet

If you take the kitten from the breeder, then the baby, as a rule, already knows that there is a special place for the toilet. If you appear in the house, he should immediately show the tray, and the smart animal will not give you problems, leaving the puddle in the wrong places. Pay attention to the toilet filler. Better, if at first he will be the same as in the old house.

The most preferable for the Scots of the silica gel, which they adore to dig, enjoying the rustling sounds. In addition, he perfectly eliminates all odors. You can choose granules from sawdust, but they require more frequent replacement.

If the baby is not yet familiar with the feline toilet, you need to immediately do the upbringing of the kitten until it is used to cope with the need for it convenient for it. You should immediately explain the pet that there is a special corner for the toilet.

Place for tray It is necessary to choose an easily accessible, but strong enough. Many cats love to do their affairs without attracting unnecessary attention. The best suitable for these purposes the bathroom, toilet or storage room. Just do not forget to always leave the door slightly ajar. You can select the corner and in the corridor.

Full nutrition

The guarantee of the health and good location of the kitten is a rational nutritional organization. Scottish Folda - big lovers to eat. At the same time, they are completely non-conddable and with enthusiasm will fly away any feed. Despite this, it is better if the baby's nutrition will mainly consist of special balanced food for kittens. Very small Scots are fitted with patests, and then (after 4 months) are transferred to dry food. The optimal menu should alternate dry food with canned food. In addition, an animal in a bowl should always have fresh water. Useful homemade pets separated oats or wheat. But it is not recommended to give milk, as it can cause digestion disorder.

As a delicacy and for diversity, the kitten can offer boiled fish or meat. Some gladly try vegetables and bread. But the food from your desk is prohibited categorically. Especially harmful chicken bones, sweets and smoked.

Health and Grafting Problems

Scottish folds of kittens do not suffer from any serious diseases characteristic of the breed. The only defect that is noticeable in the first weeks of life is the problem of "hard tail". This gene mutation sometimes leads to the fact that seals appear on the tail, which are very painful for the animal. With particularly serious changes, the kitten may hit paralysis, not excluded and fatal outcome. In addition, the defect Scottish Folds otherwise have excellent health and sustainable immunity.

Among the parts of the vet, there is an opinion that the Scots are predisposed to problems with the urinary system, but there is no reliable statistics on this score. In any case, the pet is recommended annually in preventive purposes to show a doctor.

In addition to the annual inspections of each pet from infant age, certain vaccinations are required. But before going to the vet, it is necessary to make sure that the kitten is absolutely healthy. In addition, it follows at one age be sure to treat the baby from possible worms. Buy a special suspension in the veterinary pharmacy. You can also use similar preparations for children. It is important not to disturb the dosage, since its exceeding can cause serious poisoning. In the future, repeat the treatment every four months.

If you spent all the necessary procedures and are confident in good pets, you can begin vaccination.

  • Make the first vaccination is already at the age of three months. Typically, at this stage, they put a complex (polyvalent) vaccine from several diseases. After three weeks, revaccination is required, and then an annual repetition.
  • When one year is reached, the kitty should put the vaccine from rabies.
  • Kittens between the ages of 3 and 6 months are also shown by the grafting from the rings.

In the veterinary passport, the pet is necessarily marked on all vaccinations.

Representatives of the Scottish Fold Breed are very peaceful and unpretentious creatures. Their diet includes a wide range of products, but it is worth considering several features, which will be discussed below. Optimal food for the Scottish Fold Cats are industrial feed, both dry and in the form of canned food. In addition to the specialized cat feed, selected on the basis of age (kitten, an adult cat) and the level of cat activity (calm, moderate, active), breed representatives can be fed by the following products, which will be discussed below.

A cat with a "average" level of activity should receive a base amount of calories. To feed a quiet pet, which is mostly at home and does not spend a large amount of energy, it may be necessary to do ten percent less feed than recommended on the packaging of feed. At the same time, an active pet who plays the whole day may require 20-40 percent more basic quantity of feed.

Your cat should always have free access to fresh, clean water. A bowl for water needs to wash every day.

Cats require Taurine - amino acid, which is important for the normal functioning of the heart, vision and reproduction. Although most mammals can synthesize Taurine from other amino acids in the body, cats cannot. Since Taurine is located only in protein products of animal origin, cats need meat based nutrition to meet the needs of their body.

Like people, too hot or cold weather can increase the energy needs of cats. In order to warm up or keep the coolness requires additional energy, so you can consult with the veterinarian about feeding mode in such cases. If the pet is restored after the operation or suffers from the disease, it is also possible to increase the need for nutrition to speed up the healing process. Discuss with the veterinarian methods for adjusting your cat's diet during a period of illness or recovery.

As a general rule, it is recommended to feed cat twice a day. Squeeze the recommended daily quantity, as indicated on the packaging of feline feed and divide into two eating. The gap between the receptions is from eight to twelve hours. Try to adapt to the needs of your cat, watching her behavior: whether it eats all the food, as often comes to a bowl and so on.

Some cat owners work on strict graphics, which does not allow feeding the pet twice a day. Do not worry - cats can be calmly feed in other ways that satisfy the needs of both the pet and the owner. It is quite possible to give food in small portions more often than two times a day or lay out in a bowl at a time day portion of food. However, in this case, you need to follow the animal to move and the food remained fresh. If difficulties arise with this, special devices are sold, outstanding certain amounts of feed at the appointed time - so the animal will not be a temptation to eat all at once.

Feeding of Scottish Fold Kittens at the age of 1-2 months

If you need to take care of kittens in the first few months of their life, then prepare for their gradual translation from milk to the usual food for cats.

Newborn Fold Kittens get full nutrition from Mother's milk during the first four weeks of life. Mother's milk is 100 percent suitable for their needs, so you should not feed them with something else.

In case the mother's cat is ill, it cannot produce a sufficient amount of milk, or if the kittens were found without a mother might need a milk substitute. If you have such a situation, refer to the veterinarian for feeding and guidelines during feeding.

During the first weeks of life, the weight of the kitten can increase twice or even threefold. This rapid growth will continue further, but gradually the speed will decrease. To support this impressive growth, a large amount of energy and nutrients are needed.

Make sure the feed you choose is designed specifically for kittens. Your pet needs to eat such food until it reaches maturity, aged about one about one year.

By the time Kittens Fold Scottish fulfill 1 month, they need little to give specialized dry food for kittens, although milk still remains the main food. This process of gradual introduction is important for the transition of kittens for adult cats. Most cats feed kittens milk for about two months. By this time, 80 percent of the total nutrient consumption of the kitten should be from solid food.

Kids torn off from the mother can begin to feed moistened food from a three-week age. Use the developed milk substitutes for wetting feed for kittens and gradually reduce the amount of milk.

You can use a free feeding method - this means that the kitten has access to food at any time when he wishes. Thus, mainly give dry food, as it does not disappear and does not dry during the day. If you have a dog at home, then make sure that she does not eat cat feed (dogs love him very much).

Also watch the permanent availability of fresh water in the kitten's access area. At first, curious kittens are likely to play more with their meal than it is, but gradually they will get used to what it should be there, and not scatter around the bowl. At the age of 2 months and then the main diet should be dry food, in order to maintain the growth and development of a small lopheh kitten of the Scottish breed!

So that the Scottish Fold or a direct cat, a cat or kitten was healthy, strong and beautiful, it is necessary to take care of the correct diet, as well as a feeding pattern.
