Russian Blacks eat meat and meat only. That’s the most important thing to keep in mind as you are considering which food your Russian Black should eat. That might be the reason your Russian Black rejects the meals you prepare for her. By giving him non-meat based foods like fruits, vegetables, dairy, nuts, seeds, etc., you will have difficulty getting the Russian Black to eat.
What foods should you give to your new Russian Black?
You mustn’t forget that Russian Blacks share recent ancestry with the largest of cats — cougars, lions and tigers — so take that to heart when you’re feeding your Russian Black. Never will you witness an adult tiger on Animal Planet eating an apple, drinking milk or chewing grass in nature.
Declawing the Russian Black is a major operation known as onychectomy, performed with anesthesia, which removes the claw from each digit (from the first knuckle out) of the Russian Black’s paws. There’s a slight chance of a fatality during the operation, and a declawed Russian Black may have an increased risk of infection and permanent discomfort in his paws. This procedure isn’t advised for an adult Russian Black and is termed an act of animal cruelty in some countries (as below).
