CATDOLL : Will female cats have rosy cheeks?

Generally speaking, female cats will not have cheek hair growth, because cheek hair growth is a secondary sexual characteristic of adult male cats. After the male cats are fully sexually mature, the testicles secrete male hormones to stimulate the growth of hair on the cheeks. Female cats do not have testicles, so they cannot secrete male hormones, which makes it difficult for them to have cheek hair growth. However, female cats may have cheek hair growth if their owners provide them with enough nutrition before the age of 8 months. For British shorthair cats, American shorthair cats, Garfield cats, etc., due to genetic factors, it is still possible for female cats to have cheek hair growth.

Things to note when your cat is growing cheeks:

1. Cats need a lot of nutritional supplements to grow their cheeks. If the cat's nutrition is not enough, even a cat that can grow cheeks may not grow due to malnutrition.

2. When choosing cat food, you must choose nutritious and low-salt cat food. It is best to feed cats some meat food, such as beef, chicken, fish, etc., because they are rich in protein.

3. You can also feed some fruits and vegetables at ordinary times to supplement some vitamins and fiber. Meat should be boiled, and fruits and vegetables can be made into puree before feeding.

4. If you feed your cat raw meat, you must perform deworming work regularly to ensure the cat's health.

5. The cat’s uneaten meat food should be cleaned up in time, and the food bowl should be cleaned repeatedly to prevent the breeding of bacteria.
