Peterbald cats are friendly and are affectionate and sweet cats.

Peterbald cats will also often follow you around the house and want to be near you as much as possible.

Peterbald cats are somewhat rare which makes them more expensive than other cats and it can be difficult to find a breeder for a Peterbald kitten.

A Peterbald cat costs as much as $2,000.00 so they are not cheap.

With vet bills, food and toys factored in a Peterbald cat can cost as much as $1,200 per month to care for.

The best cat food for the money is.

Purina Cat Chow Complete Dry Cat Food – Best Overall.
Iams ProActive Health Dry Cat Food – Best Value.
Hill's Science Diet Dry Cat Food Chicken – Premium Choice.
Whole Earth Farms Grain-Free Healthy – Best for Kittens.
Cat Chow Naturals Grain-Free Real Chicken Dry Cat Food.

Wet cat food costs around 50 cents to $1.00 per can or sometimes a bit more depending on the wet cat food you buy.

On average wet cat food costs around $20.00 to $30.00 per month.

A good wet cat food is Wellness Complete Health Turkey & Salmon Formula Grain Free canned cat food.

Other good wet cats foods are Tiki Pets Tiki Cat Luau Wet Food Salmon cat food.

Purina Fancy Feast Grain Free Pate Wet Kitten Food.

Purina Pro Plan Senior Canned Wet Cat Food.

Cats are cheaper than dogs to take care of and also to buy, adopt and care for.

Cats don't require as much food as most dogs and also don't require as many vet visits.

The cat breed that lives the longest is the Burmese cat breed which can live as long as 35 years although most of them only live 18 to 25 years.

You should not stare back at your cat and instead just look at them for a second and then look away.

Your cat may be staring at you and wanting attention but don't stare back at them constantly.

You should not look a cat in the eyes as they may find it threatening and attack.

However it's okay to look them in the eye for a second but you shouldn't stare at your cat too long.

In cat language, a hard, direct stare is seen as a threat.

On the other hand, a soft gaze and slow blink signal relaxation and safety.

You can say “I love you” to your cat by looking at them with relaxed eyes and slowly lowering your eyelids.

Cats do see in the dark.

Cats can see very well in the dark because cats have large corneas and pupils, which are about 50% larger than humans', allow more light into their eyes.

This extra light helps the cats to see in the dark.

When cats knead it means the cat is comforting themselves and showing pleasure.

Kneading in cats is a behavior frequently observed in domestic cats where, when a cat feels at ease, it may push out and pull in its front paws against a surface such as furniture or carpet, often alternating between right and left limbs.

Kneading is an instinctive behavior for cats, so unless the kneading behavior is truly bothersome, let your cat knead in peace and try to enjoy it.

Adult cats continue this kneading behavior when they're feeling most relaxed, content, and loved.

That's often when they're being petted on their owner's lap.

Think of kneading as a distinct expression of adoration.

Cats are territorial creatures, and one of the ways they safeguard their turf is to scent-mark their belongings.

By kneading their paws on the surface of something (yes, including you), they're activating the scent glands in their soft paw pads, thereby marking that item as theirs.

Below are some common signs that your cat loves you.

    Slow Blinking. Eyes are said to be the windows to the soul.
    Headbutting. Your cat may bump their head against you or rub their cheeks against you to show affection.
    Grooming.
    Kneading.
    Showing Their Belly.
    Meowing.
    Purring.
    Greeting You at the Door.

In many cases, soft, gentle purrs signal your cat's satisfaction with the world, providing an audible sign of her contentment.

But purring doesn't always indicate happiness; some cats also purr when they are hungry or stressed.
