Sokoke Cats - Care

Sokoke cats require very little grooming to keep the coat in a good condition. The short dense coat needs no brushing and bathing. Sokoke cats shed very little. These cats prefer sand bathing to keep the coat clean. To keep the mental health of the cats in balance, stroke their fur and pet them as often as they ask you to pay attention to them.

All cats usually keep their claws and teeth in good shape, but kittens may have sharp little claws or pointed hooks on their claws. Some veterinarians will clip these off when they vaccinate your kitten. Normally, it isn't recommended to trim your cat's claws because it could influence its ability to move and frustrate the cat. Older cats require teeth brushing, because decaying teeth could lead a cat to nutritional disorders and even starvation.
