The breed of cats nibelung

Care and maintenance of cats nibelung

The color of animal wool of the Nibelung breed depends on the purity of its breed. The hairs in the wool of the Nibelungen reflect light, as if they are silver. And the wool itself and the undercoat are light gray or blue. Therefore, the effervescence of silver tones on the long gray-blue wool of these animals looks so effectively. It is because of this color that this breed got its name, meaning "fog inhabitant, mystical creature".

Although the wool of Nibelungen is thick and long, but the fur practically does not fall down and therefore care of the cat is not difficult. To maintain the coat in perfect condition, it should be combed daily with a stiff comb made of metal with sparse long round teeth. And the movement should be in the direction of the wool. Cats of the Nibelung breed should avoid long exposure to the sun. This can lead to burnout of their wool: it will turn brown or take an ugly rusty hue.

Nibelungen nutrition should be balanced. Feeding cats of this breed with various vitamins and mineral top dressings, do not give them preparations containing iodine or sea kale. You need to dig cats as necessary. Be sure to inspect and clean the ears, shortening the nails of your pet.
