#13 The Mekong Bobtail is extremely easy to maintain.
Its short, smooth coat has practically no undercoat, the molt is imperceptible. It is enough to comb the pet with a soft massage brush once a week. It is worth buying a scratching post for a cat, but on its hind legs, you can trim the claws manually. It is necessary to carry out the procedure very carefully so as not to damage the vessels located nearby.
#14 For the prevention of calculus, you can give the bobtail special solid food.
Bathing is optional for this breed, but some cats love water. Bath procedures should be carried out no more than twice a month. In case of contamination of the coat, veterinary wet wipes can be an alternative. Mekong cats are clean, usually do not mark their territory, they easily get used to walking on a leash or the owner's shoulder. In the cold season, you should not abuse air baths - bobtails are thermophilic.
#15 The diet should be balanced.
It can consist of natural products or premium feed. It is not recommended to give milk, liver, pork, cabbage, beets, cod and pollock, food "off the table". Choosing natural food, take care of the presence of vegetables and cereals in the menu (15-20% of the diet). Lean meat, dairy products are allowed. Once a week, you can please your pet with a quail egg or fish. In general, Mekong Bobtails are picky in terms of nutrition. The breed is not prone to obesity, it is enough to feed an adult animal twice a day, providing access to clean water.
