While not a sphynx, I had to say goodbye to my K9 partner today, she was just a few months shy of 13 and has been enjoying the retired life until Degenerative Myopathy took her down.
Thankfully I have 2 Sphynx’s and 1 Dwelf that is a certified therapy cat helping me through this time.
Hello everyone, so I’ve entered Gimli into a national photo contest. Just wanted to share this in case anyone wanted to vote for him.
He has been doing incredible work as a certified therapy cat, he is regularly visiting hospitals, nursing homes, libraries and special events.
Vote for Gimli...
For those of you that don’t have Instagram or follow Gimli, I just wanted to share this pic from his therapy visit today.
Spreading cheer everywhere he goes.
What we found that makes a good therapy cat is one that is very confident in all situations and calm. We can take him on a walk on leash in just about any environment and he is very confident and calm.
Yesterday a very close friend was killed in an auto accident. I’m so thankful for my little man who is a certified therapy cat, because I’m sure in need of his talents.
Well we finally got sent the link for the magazine article Gimli was featured in.
Unfortunately as expected this is a magazine from Brazil and the article is written in Portuguese, making it a hard read, lol.
Anyway I just wanted to share it with you...
Thank you, yes our old vet was convinced this was caused by a common virus and that there was really nothing that could be done except manage the symptoms.
He just always has a snotty nose, sometimes you would never know it and others he sneezes up some surprises for you, lol.
We started going...
Well we got the results back for Gimli’s PCR test, good news, he tested positive for Bordetella bronchiseptica.
Our vet is going to put him on a 30 day regimen of Doxycycline and hopefully that will get rid of his chronic URI issues once and for all.
I encourage everyone if your cat has what...
Anyone have any experience with one of these feline respiratory PCR panels? Ever since we got Gimli he has had slight chronic upper respiratory issues. Nothing serious and it’s kept under control.
Our new vet recommended one of these panels that can identify exactly what virus he may have...
Congratulations on the new member to your family. Once you get a naked cat, I believe you will always have one for life, they are incredible.
Will be happy to help with any questions you may have, we have two naked babies for about 4 years now.
So Gimli is such a character and what better thing to do for a Therapy cat then to turn him into a cartoon.
This picture hangs proudly in our family room.
Gimli is 3 1/2 years old and Groot is 8 months old, they both came from the same breeder.
We got Groot on a Monday evening and kept him separated from Gimli for the first 4 days. We would let them sniff each other from underneath the door that separated them. We would also feed them at the...
Well we wanted to introduce you to Gimli’s new brother, Groot.
He is a 8 month old Sphynx that we got from the same breeder as Gimli. He is getting acclimated very well.
We believe he has a slight skin allergy problem, but we are monitoring it and may ask for suggestions. He has his first...
No not currently, actually we are in the process of remodeling our basement and moving our aquariums around. Once that’s done then I can update with some nice pics.
The expo went GREAT!!! It was crazy, there was a line the entire time for people to come up and let Gimli. I know now what it would be like to be with a celebrity, lol. We literally could not walk more than 5 feet without people stopping us.
