Minuet care: from grooming to hygiene. All beauty tips for the well-being of this cat.
The Minuet is a medium-sized cat, as we mentioned, with short hair that comes from the union of a Munchkin cat and a Persian.

Hygiene and cleaning of the Minuet
In addition to daily brushing, the Minuet requires adequate hygiene. Let’s see what it consists of, hygiene for this breed of cat.
The cat, in general, is known to be one of the animals most attentive to its hygiene, as it spends many hours of the day taking care of the cleaning of its body.
Unfortunately, despite his fabulous language, he does not always manage to reach all the critical points of his body, for which he needs the help of his human friend.
The parts of the body that you need help with are:
clean your ears gently to remove earwax that builds up and can cause problems. Cotton swabs, gauze or a simple napkin should be used, taking care not to damage them;
clean your teeth, brushing them every two or three weeks, with a special toothbrush sold in specialized stores;
cut the cat’s nails, carefully and delicately, with the use of specific scissors. This is a complicated operation that the cat does not like. Experts advise not to carry out the operation at home alone but to consult a grooming professional.
As for bathing one a month, unless it gets heavily soiled, that’s enough.
It will be necessary to use specific products for cleaning the cat in order not to damage the fur and irritate the skin of the feline.
We remind you that the beauty and health of the Minuet’s coat are also possible thanks to a healthy and quality diet.
