4 to 8 kg

How can I take good care of my Pixie Bob?
Nutrition
Pixie Bobs are active cats with muscular builds. Feed them a diet rich in high-quality animal proteins to ensure they get the essential amino acids. While both wet and dry food can be good, wet food can help in hydration. If you opt for dry kibble, make sure it’s premium quality, and always have fresh water available.
Grooming
Unlike many cat breeds, some Pixie Bobs tolerate baths. However, it’s not frequently required unless the cat gets particularly dirty. Always use cat-specific shampoos.
Recommended Grooming Tips
Use a damp cloth or a cat-specific ear cleaner to gently clean their ears, removing dirt and wax.
Brushing their teeth can prevent dental issues. Use cat-specific toothpaste and brush. If this proves challenging, dental treats and regular vet cleanings can help.
Keeping their nails trimmed is essential, especially if they’re indoor cats. Use a cat nail clipper and be careful not to cut into the quick.
Exercise
Dedicate time every day to play with your Pixie Bob. It strengthens your bond and ensures they get the physical activity they need. Toys that mimic prey, like feather wands, can keep them engaged and provide a good workout.
Training
Their intelligence makes them responsive to clicker training. It’s a great way to teach them commands or tricks. Like most cats, Pixie Bobs are usually easy to litter train. Ensure the litter box is always clean and placed in a quiet, accessible spot.
This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.
