I totaly have to agree there. I was never a Cat Person and prefer Dogs but once i got to know a Sphynx i fell in love with them. Still don't like normal boring Cats.,
The nakedness raises curiosity, the personality keeps the attention :love:
I just replay with something along those lines
"Your face doesn't win a beauty contest either you superficial bitch"
shuts them up and sometimes actually makes them reflect on themself a little bit.
Well we took a chance and it seemed to work out fine.
Might have been a bit selfish to try it but it seems the myth is true, if the owners are easy going and friendly there pets will be too.
Ozzy was a little sceptical and had some hissing moments but now they seem fine with each other.
(sorry...
Hello!
Ozzy is with us for almost one year. He is doing quite well an we have a lot of fun.
As my girlfriend is friends with another sphynx owning family, they ask us if we could take care of him (Gollum) for a few days since they are on vacation.
We thought instead of just driving there and...
googled around a little bit and found a thread in a german forum but sadly all his images where deleted.
Some inspiration and two right hands in construction made it quite easy.
If you are interested i can write down everything i needed and how to built
please do, same offer as above
I added...
I built Ozzy a Catwheel
When its time to sleep (for humans anyway) and his energy isnt already drained enough, he jumps in and takes it for a ride
For those who are interested, its selfmade and the most expensive part was the rope (220meter for 50€) but only needed 80meters
All things together...
Bones are not a problem unless they are cooked. Cooking makes them brittle and then they can splinter.
Ozzy loves his chicken necks / wings
but you should break/cut the wings on the hinges. a whole wing can be too much and hard to chew and might be left over
We can now play fetch with his favourite toy mouse. He kinda started bringing it to me on his own without clicker.
But regarding clicker we got a little problem. I feed him with raw meat from my local butcher (realy high quality, I eat the chicken breast he gets the other parts)
Which is nice...
I firmly believe Sphynx are superior in terms of character and intelligence compared to other cats (might be biast ). That makes me wonder what you can teach them? I bought a clicker and want to teach him some tricks to keep him busy, curiouse and engaged.
Obviouse Milestones would be commands...
Thanks guys.
another day almost over. He cant get enough of his raw food now. Added an egg yolk today and tomorrow he gets an chickenwing to his normal food. Just to test if he likes it.
Went to my butcher today. He offers minced chicken, venison, rabbit and beef for catfood. only 2,5€ per kilo...
Thanks guys.
We had dinner now. I warmed it up a fair bit and now he gobbles that up too.
I think we are on a good way. Now I have to make sure he gets enough without puking or overeating.
He is now chasing a squiky mouse around the house.
