Ear infection
What is it?
The Chantilly-Tiffany has a long coat with lengthy “furnishings” that can get into their ears and cause unfortunate blockages. Ear infections can develop when the skin lining in the ear canal becomes irritated, leading to inflammation. Inflammation can lead to excess wax production in the ear.
Clinical signs
Pain in the ear
Will often find them shaking their head or scratching
Ear often becomes red
Black or yellow discharge
Hearing loss
Treatment
If the infection has reached the middle ear but the eardrum has not yet been infected, oral or injectable antibiotics can often help to clear up the infection. For ear mites, bacterial ear infections in cats, or yeast infections in cats, treatment with corticosteroids, antifungals, antibiotics, or anti-parasitic in-ear drops may be prescribed.

What should a Chantilly Tiffany eat?
They aren’t demanding about their food. To stay healthy, they require a diet rich in animal protein and vitamins. Two meals are ideal for the day. It's important to keep an eye on their diet because it's not as easy to tell if they're becoming overweight as it is with short-haired breeds.
Chantilly Tiffany: Introduction to the Breed
Chantilly Tiffany cats were first introduced in New York around 1969. It is believed that pair of chocolate color cats were crossed breed with some unknown heritage cat. Chantilly cats are often confused with semi-long-haired Burmese cats. The breed was first registered under the term ‘foreign long hair’ and later changed to Chantilly/Tiffany since the British had already named a crossbreed between a Chinchilla Persian and a Burmese with the same name.
In a medium-sized moderate looking cat with golden or yellow eyes, the intensity of eyes increases as the cat ages. Medium size ears spaced well with fur coming out of them. These cats quickly become a part of your routine and steal your heart with their affection.
