BREED INFORMATIO­N

-

SIZE

“Usually mga ano yan eh six kilos max na yun. Malaki na yun. Etong amin, 3.75 kilos na female. (They usually weigh up to a maximum of 6 kilos. That’s already considered big. Ours is a 3.75-kilo female.)”

PERSONALIT­Y

Malambing, talagang grabe (They are very affectiona­te). Sila, they don’t know space. As in kapag natutulog ka, pepwesto sila on top, tapos diyan na matutulog sayo. (Even when you’re already asleep, they’ll lay on top of you and take a nap right there.)”

GROOMING NEEDS

“Brush and clip the nails lang. Taking a bath once a month. Yun naman yung advantage nila over dogs. Parang iwan mo lang sila, okay sila. (That’s their advantage over dogs. You can leave them alone and they’ll be fine.)”

DIET AND HEALTH

“Quality cat food. Yung mga high-end na mga cat food, may meat talaga siya, so may dehydrated meat, may veggies. Twice a day sila kumakain. And problem mo pa pala pag hindi okay yung quality ng cat food, prone magkasakit. Like UTI, kidney [diseases]… So yun lang yung care. Quality food. (High-end cat food has real dehydrated meat and veggies. They eat twice a day. The problem that you could encounter if you don’t give them quality food is that they would be prone to illnesses. Like UTI, kidney [disease]… So that’s just it for care: [give them] quality food.)”

SPECIAL CARE

“Vitamins lang. Quality food, nutrition. Make sure lang na may time siya i-play, may space, kasi exercise. Parang everyday at least may time ka for 10 to 15 minutes playtime para ma-exercise, or else tataba. Tapos magkakasak­it na. (Make sure you have time to play with them, [give them] enough space for exercise. Give them at least 10 to 15 minutes of play time every day, or else they’ll gain weight, which may lead to illness.)”
