CARE OF THE PETERBALD

Even though this is a hairless breed of cat, there is still some grooming involved. Because, there is no hair to absorb the oils of the skin, the Peterbald has to have regular bathing like humans. We get them used to baths early and Magnolia cats almost always love the attention of getting a bath. I use a very mild shampoo and always dry them thoroughly (that is their favorite part). Usually a bath every couple of weeks is more than sufficient. During times that a bath is not possible, I use baby wipes for a quick and effective job in between baths.

Other grooming consists of trimming nails, like all cats, and making sure their ears are clean.

Overall, this is a much easier job than most cats. The great thing is NO SHEDDING!

There are some other hints that I have to keep your Peterbald in great shape that I will be glad to elaborate on by email or phone (903) 894-7693.
