Nā Pōkole Pokole ʻAmelika: Nā holoholona mālama haʻahaʻa?
Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi holoholona ʻaʻole koi i ka nui o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana, makemake paha ʻoe e noʻonoʻo i kahi pōpoki American Shorthair! He hulu pokole ko kēia mau pōpoki ʻaʻole pono e hoʻomaʻamaʻa nui ʻia. Hoʻomaʻemaʻe lākou iā lākou iho, no laila ʻaʻole ʻoe hopohopo e hāʻawi pinepine iā lākou i ka ʻauʻau.
Ma ke ʻano o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana, ʻike maoli ʻo American Shorthairs i ka hopena haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa o ka spectrum. ʻO ka ʻōlelo ʻana, aia kekahi mau mea e pono ai ʻoe e hana i mea e mālama ai i kāu pōpoki olakino a hauʻoli. E uhi ana kēia ʻatikala i kekahi mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo hoʻomaʻamaʻa maʻamau no nā American Shorthairs, me ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana i ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana, ka holoi ʻana, ka ʻauʻau, ka ʻoki kui, ka mālama niho, a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe pepeiao a me ka maka.
Shedding: He aha ka mea e manaʻo ai mai kahi American Shorthair
E like me nā pōpoki a pau, e hoʻokahe ʻo American Shorthairs i ko lākou hulu a puni ka makahiki. Eia nō naʻe, no ka pōkole a me ka paʻakikī o ko lākou hulu, ʻaʻole paha ʻoe e ʻike i ka nui o ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana e like me kāu me ka pōpoki lauoho lōʻihi. ʻO ka ʻōlelo ʻana, pono ʻoe e manaʻo i ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana, ʻoi aku hoʻi i ka wā o ka pūnāwai a hāʻule i ka wā e hoʻoheheʻe nui ai nā pōpoki.
No ka mālama ʻana i ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana, hiki iā ʻoe ke palaki i kāu American Shorthair hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha i ka pule me kahi pulupulu palupalu. E kōkua kēia i ka wehe ʻana i nā hulu ʻākeʻe a pale aku i ka hele ʻana ma luna o kou mau lole a me nā lako. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ka lint roller a i ʻole ka lipine no ka wehe ʻana i nā lauoho hele hewa mai kou ʻaʻahu a me ka upholstery.
ʻO ka holoi ʻana i kou lauoho ʻAmelika: Pehea ka manawa pinepine?
E like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma mua, pono ʻoe e palaki i kāu American Shorthair hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha i ka pule. E kōkua kēia i ka wehe ʻana i nā hulu ʻūlū, e pale i ka moena, a e puʻunaue i nā aila kūlohelohe i loko o ka ʻaʻahu o kāu pōpoki. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ka pulupulu palupalu a i ʻole ka pulupulu no ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka hana.
I ka palaki ana i kou popoki, e akahai a mai huki a huki i ko lakou hulu. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe nā puʻupuʻu a i ʻole nā kuʻi, e hoʻohana i kahi mea hana dematting a i ʻole ʻokiʻoki e wehe pono iā lākou. Hiki nō hoʻi iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i kahi holoi hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana a i ʻole e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka ʻaʻahu o kāu pōpoki ma waena o nā brushings.
ʻO ka ʻauʻau ʻana i kou lauoho ʻAmelika: I ka manawa a pehea?
Maikaʻi nā American Shorthairs ma ke kāhiko ʻana iā lākou iho, no laila ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e ʻauʻau pinepine iā lākou. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka hāʻawi ʻana i kāu pōpoki i nā ʻauʻau he nui hiki ke wehe i ko lākou hulu o kona mau ʻaila maoli a maloʻo a palupalu. Eia nō naʻe, inā komo kāu pōpoki i kahi mea ʻino a pilau paha, a i ʻole he maʻi ʻili e pono ai e ʻauʻau, hiki iā ʻoe ke hāʻawi iā ia i ka ʻauʻau i kēlā me kēia mau mahina.
I ka ʻauʻau ʻana i kāu pōpoki, e hoʻohana i kahi shampoo maʻemaʻe a me ka wai mehana. E hoʻomaʻemaʻe pono i kāu pōpoki a pale i ka wai i loko o ko lākou mau pepeiao a me nā maka. Ma hope, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ke kāwele a i ʻole ka mea holoi maloʻo ma kahi haʻahaʻa e hoʻomaloʻo ai i kāu pōpoki.
ʻOki Nail: Nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo no ka mālama ʻana i nā maiuu o kāu pōpoki
E like me nā pōpoki a pau, he mau maiuu ʻoi ko American Shorthairs e piʻi ai, ʻohi, a pāʻani. Eia nō naʻe, inā lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o ko lākou mau maiuu, hiki iā lākou ke lilo i mea hoʻopilikia a i ʻole e hōʻeha iā ʻoe a i kāu mau lako. No ka mālama ʻana i nā maiuu o kāu pōpoki, pono ʻoe e ʻoki iā lākou i kēlā me kēia pule.
No ka ʻoki ʻana i nā maiuu o kāu pōpoki, e hoʻohana i ʻelua mau ʻoki kui puaʻa a e makaʻala ʻaʻole e ʻoki i ka wikiwiki (ka ʻāpana ʻulaʻula o ka maiʻu i loko o nā kīʻaha koko a me nā aʻalolo). Inā ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu ʻoe e ʻoki iā ʻoe iho i nā maiuu o kāu pōpoki, hiki iā ʻoe ke lawe iā lākou i kahi mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe a i ʻole kauka holoholona e hana ai.
Malama niho: E mālama pono i nā niho o kou American Shorthair
E like me nā kānaka, hiki i nā pōpoki ke loaʻa i nā pilikia niho e like me ke kūkulu ʻana i ka tartar, ka maʻi ʻāʻī, a me ka pala niho. No ka mālama pono ʻana i nā niho o kou American Shorthair, pono ʻoe e palaki iā lākou i hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha i ka pule me kahi pulupulu niho palupalu a me ka pulupulu aloha holoholona. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hāʻawi i kāu pōpoki me nā hana niho a i ʻole nā mea pāʻani e kōkua i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i ko lākou mau niho.
Inā ʻino ka hanu o kāu pōpoki, drool nui, a paʻakikī paha i ka ʻai ʻana, he pilikia niho paha ko lākou a pono e nānā ʻia e ke kauka holoholona.
ʻO ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i ka pepeiao a me ka maka: nā hoʻolālā maʻalahi no kahi pōpoki maʻemaʻe
ʻO ka mālama ʻana i ka maʻemaʻe o nā pepeiao a me nā maka o kāu American Shorthair he ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o kā lākou hana maʻamau. No ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i nā pepeiao o kāu pōpoki, e hoʻohana i ka mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe pepeiao aloha a me ka pulupulu a i ʻole ka pā. E holoi mālie i loko o nā pepeiao o kāu pōpoki, e makaʻala ʻaʻole e hoʻokomo i kekahi mea i loko o ko lākou puʻu pepeiao.
No ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i nā maka o kāu pōpoki, e hoʻohana i ka lole pulu a i ʻole ka pulupulu e holoi ai i nā ʻōpala a i ʻole ka ʻōpala. E akahai a mai hamo i na maka o kou popoki me ka oolea, no ka mea, he mea ia e hoeha ai.
Ka hopena: He maʻalahi ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i nā lauoho ʻAmelika!
I ka hopena, ʻo American Shorthairs he mau pōpoki mālama haʻahaʻa ʻaʻole pono e hoʻomaʻemaʻe nui. Eia nō naʻe, no ka mālama ʻana i ke olakino a me ka hauʻoli o kāu pōpoki, he mea nui e mālama i kā lākou mau mea e pono ai ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana, me ka mālama ʻana i ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana, ka palaki ʻana, ka ʻauʻau ʻana, ka ʻoki kui, ka mālama niho, a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe pepeiao a me ka maka. Ma ka hahai ʻana i kēia mau hoʻolālā maʻalahi, hiki iā ʻoe ke mālama i kāu American Shorthair e nānā a manaʻo i ko lākou maikaʻi loa!
