    Skin issues: help

    Cat Scratch Fever

    My sphynx, about 6 years old, healthy, no skin issues that I'm aware of (no visible rashes) has been scratching himself behind the head an unusual amount lately. I keep his nails trimmed but he still is getting all scraped up from it. I haven't changed his shampoo (Johnson's baby shampoo) or...

    A Few Random Questions

    Hi there, I'm new here. I got Nefertari on the 8th and we're figuring things out. 1. What is a good way to discourage bad behaviour? (With fuzzy kittens I'd spray with water but I want Nefertari to like baths, so clearly that's out). 2. She tends to attack everything - cords and plants being...
