The "natural" appearance of California Shining Cat is not obtained from mating with wild cats or close relatives, but bred with eight different bloodlines as the basis. The spotted pattern of California Shining Cat was bred through five generations, while the body shape was successfully bred through six generations. The idea of breeding this breed came to Paul Casey when he visited leopards in Africa, so the current California Shining Cat is large in size and its appearance is reminiscent of a leopard.

Maintain a light diet; 2. Do not frequently change cat food. When changing cat food, follow the seven-day food change rule.
Health: Due to the large amount of fur on cats, they are prone to carrying various bacteria, fleas, etc. For the sake of the cat and the owner's health, the cat should be regularly bathed and groomed;
Diet: Different cats have different preferences for food. Owners should not randomly choose cat food on the market for convenience. They should carefully select cat food based on the cat's breed, growth, and physical condition. Cat-specific tableware should also be prepared;
Health: Like humans, cats can also get sick. When a cat is sick, it must be taken to a special animal hospital for treatment. Regular physical examinations and vaccinations should also be performed on the cat. Only when the cat is healthy can it have the energy to play with its owner;
Safety: There is a saying that "curiosity killed the cat". Cats are restless creatures and are always curious about various things. Moreover, their nature makes them prone to entering enclosed spaces, so owners must always close doors, windows, and container lids to prevent cats from getting into potential danger;
Living Environment: Cats love to sleep lazily, so as an owner, you should prepare a small cushion for it to sleep on. However, these cushions will accumulate a lot of bacteria after long-term use, so you must pay attention to cleaning and disinfecting them at all times;
Cat Litter: The problem of pets defecating anywhere has troubled many pet owners, but cats are actually very clean animals. As long as the owner provides them with cat litter, they will go to the litter box to relieve themselves;
Cats are sensitive creatures. When owners force them to do something, they can become irritated. Therefore, owners should trim the cat's nails regularly to prevent scratching and infection during playtime.
Grooming time: recommended every three days
1. Relax the cat: before grooming, you can give the cat a massage. After the kitten purrs, you can proceed with the work;
2. Brush along the fur: from the back → waist → hips → tail; you can wet the cat's fur with a small amount of water to reduce static electricity. Brush along the direction of hair growth, from top to bottom;
3. Brush from the chest to the abdomen: lift the cat, sit on your lap in a human posture, and brush from top to bottom. The cat's belly is more sensitive, so the owner must be quick and accurate when grooming;
4. Brush the head and face around the cat: you can brush from the cat's head or face towards the neck, be careful of the cat's eyes;
5. Underarm and abdominal hair: at this time, the cat can lie on its side, lift the cat's front legs, and brush from the armpit to the side of the abdomen;
6. Finally, use a comb to remove excess hair, straighten the cat's fur, and finish the whole process.
