INFORMATION

What is the difference between an Exotic shorthair and a Exotic longhair?

An Exotic Shorthair is a cat or kitten from an Exotic breeding program that exhibits the traits of a Persian, but with a short, plush coat. The Exotic Longhair is the same but with a longert coat, both exotics are a mix between a persian and an American Shorthair cat. 

What is the difference in maintenance of an ESH, ELH and a Sphynx?

Exotic shorthairs need weekly brushing to get all the shedding hair off theit coat, shedding is crazy with this breed, an Exotic longhair sheds a lot less than a Exotic shothair, but they need daily brushing. Both breeds need daily eye cleaning. Sphynx require ear cleaning and some of them require towel baths more often that others, it all will depend on their skin.

If I have a female which will be a better option sex wise in adding another cat?

All felines are very territorial, however here at Le Cat Cattery we send all our babies fixed, this makes a huge difference in how cats act. If both cats are fixed it doesn't really matter what sex you bring home.

Are Sphynx hypoallergenic?

Hypoallergenic means lower allergens, it does not mean allergy free. How your allergy reacts will depend on so many factors. Are you allergic to the saliva or dandruff? I recommend getting a test before you invest this type of money in a pet. Sphynx on the contrary of what everyone thinks DO HAVE HAIR, little tiny hairs but they have them.
