She quickly becomes attached and requires a lot of attention from his side. Consequently, loneliness is poorly tolerated by the pet.

accidental mutation of kittens on a farm in New York City in 1966. Breeder Joan Oshia purchased unusual kittens for $50 and began breeding. By chance, one of Joan\u2019s charges, a cat named Adam, successfully walked with a neighbor\u2019s cat. As a result, kittens fully resembling their father were born, giving life to a new cat breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It quickly became popular and spread far beyond the USA\u2019s borders in the 70s of the 20th century. Today, all feline organizations except GCCF and FIFe have recognized the American Wirehair.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"appearance\">Appearance<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The American Wirehair is a medium-sized cat with a strong build. It has a short and stout neck, on which sits a round and broad head of moderate size. The muzzle is square and voluminous. The ears are not sharp, of medium length. The eyes are large, round, and matched in color to the coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Limbs not long, moderately broad. The tail is of medium length; the tip is rounded. The coat is short, stiff, and slightly wavy.

They are affectionate and kind natures. Suitable both for one person and for a family. The American Wirehair cat loves its owner very much. She quickly becomes attached and requires a lot of attention from his side. Consequently, loneliness is poorly tolerated by the pet. If you can not give the cat enough time, it is better not to have this breed\u2019s representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With other animals, including dogs, the American Wirehair gets along very well. It treats children more positively. But it all depends on the upbringing, both the cat itself and the baby. The pet is very sociable, loves to meet new people and places. Also, the American Wirehair has hunting qualities. She easily catches rodents, insects, and birds. Despite its kindness and affection, the cat is independent and autonomous. Sometimes she prefers to be alone.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"care\">Care<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>You can keep a cat both in an apartment and in your own home. It does not need long walks; sometimes, you can let it out into the yard. The rough coat is unpretentious in care. It is enough to comb it 1-2 times a week. Bathing is extremely rare, just a few times a year so that the coat does not lose its unique look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After bathing, you should brush the cat immediately, but in no case dry it with a hairdryer. Pay special attention to the cat\u2019s ears and eyes. Examine and wipe off mucus from the eyes every few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cat\u2019s thickly coated ears need weekly cleaning. It is important to buy a scratching post or teach your cat to sharpen his claws on trees outside. Don\u2019t forget a large litter box for your pet, and change the paper or sand in it on time.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"education\">Education<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The American Wirehair is an intelligent and obedient cat. There should be no problems with its upbringing. However, early socialization is important. At the age of six months, you should start training. Show the kitten the world around him, introduce him to other pets. Also explain how to behave in the company of people, especially small children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to accustom the cat to the litter box and nail sharpening. The American Wirehair has a strong and independent character. Therefore, be prepared to be stubborn. Sometimes it is worth not touching the cat and let him be alone. During the training process, reward the cat with goodies for successful actions.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"common-diseases\">Common Diseases<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In general, the cat has very good health. The breed came about by mutation, so it does not have any genetic diseases. There is no predisposition to obesity in active, playful cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to keep your pet\u2019s teeth healthy to prevent tartar buildup. They should be brushed at least three times a week with a special brush and paste. The cat\u2019s body needs to be wormed regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, do not forget about the prevention of ticks and fleas. For this purpose, special collars that repel parasites are suitable. Keep your cat away from draughts where it can catch a cold. Take your cat to the veterinarian every year and have him properly vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nutrition\">Nutrition<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The American Wirehair is not picky about food.
