Khaomanee

Khaomanee cats are known for their playful, mischievous personalities. They're very people-oriented and take it upon themselves to greet all visitors that come to the house. They also make devoted family members and willing playmates for kids.

These curious, intelligent cats like to explore their surroundings and excel at games of fetch. They tend to be vocal and aren't shy about letting their humans know what they're thinking. But they also know how to relax and enjoy taking breaks on a nearby couch or—better yet—a lap.

Khaomanee require a high-quality diet. Because nutritional needs vary for kittens, adults, and senior cats, opt for a formula that's age-appropriate for your pet.

To keep your cat at a healthy weight, measure out meals and reduce portions if necessary. And don't forget to account for treats. As a guideline, they should make up no more than 10% of a cat's calories.

Finally, all cats need access to fresh, clean water around the clock.

The Khaomanee's short coat is relatively low maintenance. Weekly brushing to remove dirt and loose fur will keep it shining white.

Most cats' nails require monthly trimming to prevent them from getting too long. Long nails are more likely to snag on something and become torn or damaged. They can even grow into your cat's paw pads, leading to pain or infection. In addition to clipping, providing a scratching post will allow your cat to do some nail maintenance themselves (thanks to their instinct to scratch).

No grooming routine is complete without a little dental hygiene. To support your Khaomanee's overall health, brush their teeth daily and schedule visits with your veterinarian for professional dental cleanings and exams.

Roughly one out of every three cats in the United States is overweight or obese. And those extra pounds can contribute to other health risks—such as arthritis, diabetes, and heart problems. Your veterinarian is the best resource for tips on managing your cat's weight.
