The Ukrainian Levkoy. The Ukrainian Levkoy is an almost hairless mixed breed, that originated in Russia. On a day to day basis, these cats make excellent household pets, especially because they love to hang around and play with children. They also do well in smaller living environments, making them a good fit for apartment dwellers. Just remember that a hairless cat can require a little more in the way of maintenance than a short or long-haired kitty. The history of the Ukrainian Levkoy dates back to 2004, when a Russian breeder named Elena Vsevolodovna Birjukova, tried breeding the Donskoy cat with the Scottish Fold. The result was the Ukrainian Levkoy, which possesses the hairless nature of the former parent breed, and the distinctive folded over ears of the latter. The name Ukrainian Levkoy was chosen, due to the way the mixed breed's ears seem like they are bent over, just like the leaves of the Levkoy plant. The Ukrainian Levkoy is a medium cat. As is always the case, exact size standards might vary. Most Ukrainian Levkoys weigh between eight and twelve pounds, with the females often being noticeably smaller than the males. The Ukrainian Levkoy is an almost totally hairless cat, who's often said to look like a cute alien creature. When it comes to grooming, hairless cats like the Ukrainian Levkoy require a little extra time and attention. First of all, you'll need to make sure you're feeding your cat a high protein diet, so they stay in shape and can regulate their proper body temperature. You'll also want to talk to your vet, about feline-friendly sunscreens. Finally, the Ukrainian Levkoy needs bathing at least once a month, to regulate the oils that naturally occur on their skin. The Ukrainian Levkoy is a wonderful fit for families with young kids. Just make sure that early socialization takes place, and boundaries are properly set on both sides. Always supervise playtime between young children and cats. When it comes to other household pets, the good-natured and outgoing Ukrainian Levkoy, usually fares well with most other domestic animals. But always make sure to supervise early interactions between the new cat and existing pets. Sometimes, these relationships are very much dependent on the individual pets' personalities. Ultimately, early socialization really pays off with this mixed breed. Make sure to reward your Ukrainian Levkoy for good behavior, when you bring them home to your family.
