Not all cats are created equal. Some are aloof royalty, others are needy nap enthusiasts, and a few... well, they might be part ninja. Understanding your catās breed-specific quirks isnāt just about being a know-it-all at dinner partiesāitās the secret to keeping your kitty healthy, happy, and slightly less inclined to knock your coffee mug off the table.
š± Persian: The Glamour Queen
Personality: Regal, relaxed, high-maintenance hair goals
Care Tips: Daily grooming is a must unless you enjoy tumbleweeds of fur rolling through your hallway. Persians can also be prone to breathing issues, so keep their environment calm and allergen-free.
Birdie & Louie Pro Tip: Our Chicken & Lamb pĆ¢tĆ© is soft, easy to eat, and gentle on sensitive tummiesāperfect for our squishy-faced fluffballs.
Letās break down how to care for your cat based on their breed. (And yes, weāre totally going to suggest some delicious food and treats along the way. You know us.)
š¾ Siamese: The Chatty Cathy
Personality: Vocal, loyal, and possibly a reincarnated opera singer
Care Tips: These cats crave attention and stimulation. Interactive toys, climbing towers, and regular play sessions will keep your Siamese from singing the song of their people at 3 a.m.
š Maine Coon: The Gentle Giant
Personality: Dog-like, friendly, and big enough to qualify as a carry-on
Care Tips: With long fur and even longer tails, Maine Coons need brushing and plenty of protein to support their larger frames. Donāt be surprised if they follow you around like a golden retriever.
š¼ Sphynx: The Naked Truth
Personality: Warm, loving, and possibly from another planet
Care Tips: No fur = no filter. Sphynx cats need regular baths to keep their skin healthy and free of oil buildup. They also get chilly, so a cozy bed (or your hoodie) is a must.
Feeding Tip: Our protein-rich Tuna Variety Packs help keep their skin nourished from the inside out. Good fats = glowing skin, darling.
š¾ Domestic Shorthair: The Mystery Mix
Personality: Wild card. Could be a cuddler, a climber, or a curtain-shredder
Care Tips: Since they come in every size, color, and mood, regular vet visits and observing their preferences is key. These adaptable kitties benefit from balanced nutrition and stimulation.
Birdie & Louie Tip: Not sure what your DSH prefers? Our Kitchen Sink Ultimate Cat Food Sampler Pack lets you sample our finest meals until your cat makes their royal decree. (Spoiler: Theyāll love all of them.)
