If not properly socialized at a young age, we have found them to be temperamental. Properly hand-raised, trained and monitored by the early caretaker and followed up by the new owner, They can prove to be good animals. They make lovely animals for displays. An owner needs a deep understanding of their nature and why they do the things they do. They need an owner who keeps track of their whereabouts at all times.
Cats find many household pesticides and chemicals, extremely toxic, sometimes to the point of death.
Dog products cannot be used on them for fleas, etc. You must animal proof your home before you add an exotic or even domestic cat to it. All exotic cats should be trained to a leash and collar or harness when it is young so it will be able to take walks outside. You may never let an exotic cat run free outside, even in your own back yard. A cat that is not declawed will tear your house to ribbons and scratch you also even in play.
