Ryder is a Domestic Medium-Hair!
After twelve weeks, kittens have had their basic inoculations and developed the physical and social stability needed for a new home. Keeping your rare treasure indoors, neutering or spaying and providing acceptable scratching surfaces are essential elements for maintaining a healthy, long life.
When more than one cat lives in a household, it may take up to 5 weeks for the newest member of the family to be completely integrated.
All pet cats need a territory of their own - even if it's just its own sleeping or eating space! They are usually very friendly with the other cats in the household, but may vigorously defend their "private" spot!
The Domestic Medium Hair cat combines qualities of both the long-hair and the short-hair cat. They have more playfulness than the long-hair and, yet, are usually calmer than the short-hair. Their body type can be either broad and stocky or slender.
The medium coat is caused by the cat having fewer secondary "down" hairs than the long-haired breeds and by the cat having a shorter growth and "shedding" cycle. Simply put, the coat has length without being as thick.
While most short-hairs can handle their own grooming, and the Domestic Long Hair needs help with regular grooming, the medium length of this cats' coat normally doesn't require extensive grooming on the part of the owner.
This cat's weight will vary, depending on its genetic background from 7 to 15 pounds, and its build can be either stocky or slender.
We are pleased to welcome Ryder to our practice!
