    One or Two Spynx

    Good choice in breed! I had the same question when I was getting my cats and decided on two. Most pets are happier with at least one peer. I think two is the best option if you can afford it and have the space. You won't feel guilty when about them feeling lonely, They will each have a...

    New kitten having off and on again diarrhea

    Might just be good old fashioned worms. Any other pets in the house that go outside? They might have transmitted. All it takes is a lick. If so, they vet can cure it with a precription.

    Bathing sphynx

    I say you listen to YOUR cat's skin. I've heard weekly bathing, monthly bathing, to no bathing at all. My findings- If the cat feels oily, or smells a little funky, its time for a bath. Mine get washed every 4-5 weeks and their skin is always radiant. If I go more than six weeks, they start...

    Bathing sphynx

    I used to have the same problem with mine. I finally took them to the groomer at PetSmart to remove myself from the equation altogether. And I really think it might be a good way to introduce them to water. Groomers have tricks of how to make them feel at ease. Also, your kitten will be an...

    Bad habit developing

    I have a kitty play pen that pops up instantly that I put my Luna and Jasper in when I want a nap without being disturbed. I set it up in my living room and away from my door. If I don't put them in there Jasper will meow and scratch at the door. They love their play pen! It has a heated...

    At my wits end, need help

    My Luna is also very vocal. I swear she just likes to hear herself. I trained her to be quite tolerable by using an aircan you would use to dust a keyboard. I just sprayed it twice in the air (never at her or on her) and she ran from the hissy sound it makes. Now I just say her name sternly...

    Luna and Jasper

    Greetings from San Diego, California. I became a Sphynx Daddy to two beautiful kittens last April. I first got Luna and absolutely fell in love. About a month later, her brother became available (the breeder was being cautious as he was struggling and the runt of the litter). They are both...
