Siberian cats are the first domestic animals that received a vocation from cat lovers not only within the Russian Federation, but also abroad. Some are engaged in breeding thoroughbred Siberians in order to participate in specialized exhibitions, others bring them to their homes as pets. And in fact, and in another case, the choice of a Siberian kitten must be treated with special responsibility.
Instructions
Step 1
Before choosing a Siberian kitten from a whole litter, take a closer look at the mother of the babies. If she seems unkempt to you, then the kittens, most likely, did not receive proper care. Babies should be clean, active, strong, curious and well-licked.
Step 2
Never choose the smallest and most defenseless Siberian kitten. Such timid babies, as a rule, have a severely weakened immunity to various diseases. This is due to the fact that active kittens get much more food than those who are afraid of everything. An overly aggressive Siberian kitten, the one that pushes everyone, starts fights and constantly defeats other babies in the game, is also not worth choosing.
Step 3
Pay special attention to the pedigree of the Siberian kitten, if in the future you plan to seriously engage in his show career. The pedigree should contain information about the immediate family of the baby, their titles and full names. Remember that elite Siberian kittens with an impeccable pedigree are very expensive.
Step 4
When choosing a Siberian kitten whose fur is dyed in an unusual color, remember that only Siberians of a standard color can participate in specialized exhibitions.
Step 5
It is advisable to wean a Siberian kitten from a cat at the age of 2, 5-3 months, when he can easily do without a mother. Make sure that by this time she has managed to teach the kids all the "wisdom": self-feeding, using a device for sharpening claws, going to the toilet, as well as basic hunting and self-defense skills.
Step 6
Carefully examine the Siberian kitten you like. His coat, without matted lumps, dandruff and parasites, should shine and shine. Make sure that the nose, eyes and ears of your chosen Siberian kitten are absolutely clean, without any kind of crusts and secretions. Be sure to check white Siberian kittens with blue eyes for deafness.
Step 7
If you are choosing a Siberian cat kitten for the first time, in order to further participate in specialized exhibitions, be sure to familiarize yourself with all the accepted standards of the Siberian breed.
