Temperament

The Donskoy is best summed up as affectionate, warm, curious. Expect a cat that's right in the middle of everything you do, with the occasional opinion delivered out loud. Chaos rating 3/5 means a daily zoomies window is part of the deal.

Care Notes

Grooming: Moderate effort. Brush a few times weekly; more during seasonal shedding. Exercise: with high energy, plan two or more real play sessions a day plus vertical space — cat trees, shelves, window perches. Health: keep up annual vet visits, dental care, and weight watch; ask your vet about screening common to the breed line.
