Brazilian Shorthairs are carnivores. Always keep that in mind as you are deciding what you should feed your Brazilian Shorthair. That might explain why your Brazilian Shorthair seems like a picky eater. If you’re giving your him food that is not meat or formulated from meat products, you may have difficulty getting the Brazilian Shorthair to eat.
What food you should give to your new Brazilian Shorthair.
Remember Brazilian Shorthairs share recent ancestry with the fiercest of felines — lions, tigers,and cheetahs, etc. — so keep that in mind while feeding your Brazilian Shorthair. You won’t see a mature tiger on National Geographic eating an apple, drinking milk or chewing grass in the wild.
Declawing the Brazilian Shorthair is a major surgery known as onychectomy, performed with anesthesia, that eliminates the claw of each toe (from the first knuckle out) of the Brazilian Shorthair’s paws. There is always a remote possibility of a fatality during the procedure, and a declawed Brazilian Shorthair may experience an increased risk of infection and long-term discomfort in its paws. This procedure isn’t suitable for a full-grown Brazilian Shorthair and is deemed an act of animal cruelty in some places (as shown below).
