The Peterbald cat, also called the hairless Sphynx cat, comes from Russia. In fact, it is not completely hairless. Its hair is short, shallow and close to the body. This cat is nothing like a Sphynx cat. In 1993, a brown male Peterbald cat mated with a female Oriental cat, resulting in the birth of this representative Oriental hairless cat, the Peterbald cat. Peter's Bald cats were first introduced to the United States in the late 20th century. However, they are not really hairless!

2. Habits and Characteristics of Peter Bald Cat

1. Hearing and smell

When a cat is angry or frightened, its ears will stick to its back and it will make a hissing sound. Cats are the same as humans. They can sensitively feel even low-frequency sounds. Humans can only hear high-frequency sounds (20kHz) through frequency modulators, while cats’ high-frequency can reach 64kHz, which is much higher than humans. Home Cats' sense of smell is fourteen times that of humans, but due to genetic mutations caused by cats during evolution, cats have lost their "sense of sweetness."

　2. Speak up

We all know that a cat’s cry is “meow..”, but it actually has a profound meaning! It also makes a happy and comfortable purring sound. It can also chirp with other cats, which is a rare phenomenon. Not only that, cats also purr and bite!

3. Sleep

Cats generally come out in the afternoon or evening, and sleep longer than other cats. The daytime sleep time is from 12 to 16 o'clock. Some cats even sleep for more than 20 hours at a time, which is really incredible!

4. Food

(1)Meat

Parents must know that cats are carnivores, and Peter Bald Cat is no exception. However, it should be noted that owners cannot only feed their cats meat food, as this will lead to uneven intake of minerals and vitamins to prevent skeletal hypoplasia!

(2) Cod liver oil

In the process of supplementing nutrition for cats, parents should pay attention not to add excessive cod liver oil to the food, which may also easily cause bone diseases!

(3)Cat food

Owners should not confuse cat food and dog food. They each have their own nutrients. The nutrients in dog food cannot meet the nutritional needs of cats. Although they are both carnivores, the nutritional requirements of cats are far greater than those of dogs. Demand! If you are a parent who has no breeding experience, it is recommended that you use cat food specially designed for pets. This will not only meet the nutrients needed for the cat’s growth, but also eliminate the need to supplement it with additional nutrients! This can also avoid feeding errors. !

3. Personality characteristics of Peter Bald Cat

Cats all like to sharpen their claws, and Peterbald cats are no exception. It’s almost impossible to get them to stop scratching their claws. And for cats, their claws are their sharpest weapons, so they need to constantly grind off the aging horniness to make them sharper. At the same time, cats have a smell on their bodies. When they scratch on furniture or walls, they will leave behind these smells. Just like dogs use urine to define their territory, cats also need to mark out their own sphere of influence. . If a cat grinds its claws casually, the sofa, chairs, curtains, floors, etc. at home will definitely be messy, and it will even damage some furniture, which is unimaginable. Moreover, once the cat determines the location, it will go to the fixed place to grind its claws every now and then. In this case, the losses will be even more serious. Parents cannot just sit back and ignore it. Therefore, it is best for owners to train their cats from an early age so that they can develop a good claw-grinding habit!
