#13 Since hybrid cats are hairless or have an air flock coating, the owner will have to take care of the optimal temperature regime in the apartment.
In everyday life, "short pads" freeze even at + 20 ° C, therefore they always look for a warmer place, preferring to relax on the windowsills and near heating appliances. Often the irrepressible craving for warmth leads to sad consequences. For example, those who take long-term ultraviolet baths get burned, and those who like to lie near heaters acquire thermal burns to their bodies. To prevent such troubles from happening, in the cold season it is better to wrap bambino in a knitted sweater or overalls. Time for walks in the fresh air should also be chosen correctly. Taking bambino out in rainy or windy weather is a sure chance to catch a cold, not to mention the sultry summer days when a cat can "fry" in a matter of minutes.
#14 Bambinos are tolerant of bathing and are even able to fall in love with them, if the owner was not too lazy to accustom the pet to water procedures.
Gnome cats are washed once every two weeks. Such a frequency of bathing days is due to the peculiarities of the skin of animals, which secretes an excess amount of sebum and strong-smelling enzymes. For example, the bodies of bambino, which are not bathed for a long time, acquire an unpleasant stickiness and become a source of allergens (the Fel d1 protein contained in cat saliva remains on the body when licked).
#15 Going to the other extreme and driving a cat into the bath every other day is also wrong.
Hard water and detergents cause bambino's sensitive skin to become inflamed and flaky. Ultimately, the animal loses not only its external gloss, but also its health, and the owner has to spend money on visits to the veterinarian and pet treatment.
