Cats of the Ukrainian Levka breed are just as gentle and lovely as the flower, after which they were named. In addition, they have a rather outstanding appearance, which makes them especially popular among many pets.

Ukrainian Levkan breed was born relatively recently, about 10 years ago. However, despite this, very quickly became popular. All work on the crossing of animals was carried out by felinologist Elena Biryukova. She began to work on the creation of this breed at the beginning of the XXI century, but achieved final results only after 4 years.

For the experiment, cats were taken completely different breeds. This is the Don Sphynx and Scottish Fold. As a result, the animals received a bald body from sphinxes and a lop-eared cat from Scottish breed. In addition, extraordinary beauties have good health and excellent character.

The first appearance of a cat in the light caused great interest not only among fans of the original breeds, but also among specialists.

In addition, Ukrainian leftists have such traits in their character as the ability to control their emotions, act up, and also remember everything that concerns them.

If we talk about the preferences of these animals, they are more likely to be friends with adult owners than with their children. This does not mean that they treat children aggressively. They simply prefer the company of calmer people.

Ukrainian Levkoy cats are very sociable and inquisitive, so the appearance of strangers in the house will not scare them, but, on the contrary, they will study them, that is, they will get acquainted with them.

Ukrainian sphinxes are completely unpretentious in content. The only thing they need is a lot of heat, because they have almost no wool.

This should be done with the help of special shampoos, as their skin produces too much fat. For the same reason it is necessary to wipe them quite often, otherwise the excess fat will remain on the furniture or wallpaper.

Like all cats, leftists also need to periodically cut their nails. Use for this special tongs or kogterezy. To carry out such a procedure should be with extreme caution, as it is possible to accidentally damage the vessels, which are located very close. If the claws are not trimmed by themselves, then it is best to go to a veterinary clinic, where specialists can do it easily and quickly.

In addition, for their pets it is necessary to arrange a place for their rest. It must contain a scraper, a tray with a suitable filler.
