There are a few important grooming necessities. Because these cats are nearly hairless they need to be bathed every 7 to 10 days to control the oil all cats skin naturally produce. Starting when they are young to get them used to water early. I start gently bathing my kittens with baby shampoo at 4 weeks old, so they are used to and have had several experiences with bathing by the time they come to your home.

Their ears produce a waxy substance that needs to be gently cleaned with q-tips once a week. During bath time it helps to wipe the ears out with a soapy washcloth or cotton ball to help loosen the dirt. I use Dial antibacterial for this as it helps cut the wax, but be careful not to get it in their eyes.

I complete their bath with patting them dry. They do not need a moisturizer, but I use a thin coat of Health Guard lotion to protect from any germs or bacteria that can cause skin problems as my cats are exposed to other animals during shows ect. You can find Health Guard lotion on line at Revival.com.

Their nails also produce a waxy substance that is easily cleaned with an alcohol prep pad. Takes the dirt and wax right off!

It is also very important that your cat/kitten has his/her own warm place to sleep. Access to dry food all day and night as they burn more energy to stay warm. I suggest a high protein quality food.
