Do you want the best care for your Exotic Shorthair cat?
We show you the 3 steps you must follow to achieve it
1. BRUSHING
- Exotic Shorthair cats require minimal care, the most important of which is brushing.
- Brushing 1 time a week will be enough to remove the hair shed from the follicle.
- For very short hair, a rubber-studded glove will help brush and remove loose hair.
- For medium and thick hair, slicker brushes and rakes will be ideal for brushing and removing shedding hair.
Grooming Mitt
The Artero Kira Double-Sided Mitt is for removing shedding hair from cats.
Slicker Brush
The Artero Romeo Slicker Brush is ideal for brushing dense coats and preventing tangles and knots.
Rake
The Artero Echo Rake is designed to help remove excess loose hair and tangles.
Detangler
The Artero Matt-X detangler is perfect for untangling long hair without irritating the skin.
Shampoo
The Artero Speed Shampoo restores the coat's cleanliness of the first day without the need for washing.
2. BATHING
- Bathing is essential to maintain our cat's hygiene, eliminate bad odors, and remove dander.
- Conditioning the coat will help remove a large amount of shedding hair in the tub and help prevent future tangles.
- When we cannot bathe or our cat rejects water, we can perform a dry cleaning with damp cleaning gloves.
Shampoo
Artero 4cats Shampoo is highly respectful of the skin and coat. Suitable for all coat types.
Conditioner
Super-moisturizing conditioner Artero Mascarilla 4Cats Vital for caring for the coat of all types of cats.
Hygiene Gloves
The Artero Plis Plas 4CATS gloves, ideal for daily use and disposal to maintain pet cleanliness.
3. HYGIENE
- Ear hygiene is fundamental. Removing earwax (cerumen) and keeping the ear canals clean and ventilated will prevent possible infections and itching.
- The buildup of eye discharge (sleep/gunk) and dirt in the nose is common; cleaning these areas with finger cots (wipes) almost daily will be essential.
- Having a breath freshener for cats with bad breath can help with coexistence.
Dips Finger Cots for Ears
For proper ear hygiene, we will use Dips Finger Cots for Ears. These remove earwax (cerumen) and dirt from the external ear area.
Dips Finger Cots for Eyes
To remove tear stains and other secretions from the ocular area, we will use Dips 4CATS Finger Cots.
Bad Breath Spray
The Artero X-Mint will help us prevent bad breath in our pet, also protecting their teeth.
Ear Cleaner
The Artero Oto is the gel we will use to clean our cat's ear canals; it is easy to apply and removes excess wax and dirt.
Repair Cream
We will use Artero Dfender to cover, moisturize, and heal different dry areas on our pet, such as the paw pads or nose.
What is the Exotic Cat Like?
- Origin: Iran (formerly Persia).
- Characteristics: Flat face, long and abundant coat.
- Personality: Calm, very domestic, requires frequent brushing.
Similar in appearance to the Persian but with a short, dense, and plush coat, the Exotic Shorthair combines beauty and practicality. Its coat requires regular brushing to remove loose hair, especially during shedding, although it is easier to maintain than its long-haired relative.
The use of mild shampoos and light conditioners that preserve the fluffy texture of the coat without weighing it down is recommended. Due to its flat face, it also needs frequent cleaning of the eyes and folds with specific products.
It is ideal for those looking for a cat with a refined appearance but lower grooming demands.
