Hail Lairians. I was giving some advice about particular books to reference to another member the other day and then I thought it would be a good idea to share some of my favorite books that have really helped me out with understanding cat psychology and communication. I really got into it when...

Hail Lairians!!!! Welcome to the Sphynxmas 2018 We are starting much earlier this year to not give me any heart attacks about all the gifts getting mailed in time. I think with the altered timeline we should all have adequate time to sign up, shop and get our gifts on their way. You have...

Hail Lairians Wolfgang and I have returned for another introduction of newly found bathing, ear and eye/face cleaning products. The line is from Canada and specializes in hairless pet cat. It is called Natro patte. I bought the starter kit, eye cleaner and a larger ear cleaner because we all...

After a year of buying many different pill cutters and still being frustrated by destroying pills we did some research and ordered the Equa Dose. This is far and above the best I have used. It is easy to use after just a bit of practice. I can easily cut Anna's HCM meds down to halves and...

Our Queen Bee, Vicky has of late been not quite herself. So, I scheduled a vet visit today. After 2.5 hours of tests and waiting she got diagnosed as diabetic...... We have her full sister, Anna, who has a heart problem that is being treated and is under control so I totally thought maybe it...

I don't know about where you live but there is an Atenolol shortage here in the USA until Oct 2017. This is a very common drug for use to treat HCM. There is none to be had here in the right dosage here for our one cat so we are having to try a new med this week until we can get Atenolol again.

Hail Lairians! As some of you know I am a pet groomer. This past week I went to an expo and trade show to do some continuing education and shopping. I was introduced to a new line of products that come from Europe called Iv San Bernard. They have a very different philosophy to help care for...

Today is Wolfgang's 2nd birthday!!! I am so blessed to have the little nose nibbling alarm clock. I told him this morning that this is just the start of a beautiful life together. PS he is truly spoiled and got a new cat tree as his present. He said he would share with the other cats.

The most shy girl of our crew was found to have a new heart murmur at the cats yearly routine checkup. I scheduled an ultrasound with the wonderful vet who took care of Merlin when he had cardiac issues. Anna has a focal thickening of the heart which is affecting one of her valves. So the vet...

Hail Lairians! Hope this finds you all well. Wolf and I have been caught up in the whirlwind know as life. Anywho..... Wolfgang as a white cat is a sensitive guy. He has litter allergies and and some contact allergies. Thank God no food allergies but we do grain free and freeze dried raw...

Hail Lairians!! As many of us who have rescued or rehomed animals know that we will never see baby pics. The very kind lady who I got Nigel Wolfgang from sent me a slew of pics of him growing up. What a gift!!! Here are just a few. It is so fun so see him so little. Here are some recent...

Hail Lairians! Was in search of a couple of new toys. Mr. Nigel Wolfgang has become quite the demonstrative playtime boy. He is in league with @Xandria Max and Min when it comes to toys. It has been an re education having a 1.5 yr old sphynx in the house. But, a joy all in all. So I am here to...

Hail Lairians I found out my new guy, Nigel Wolfgang, was feed a raw diet as a kitten and have been experimenting with freeze dried raw. I am a bit shy on raw diet but I had forgotten about Honest Kitchen. I had some samples and he slurpped those down. Anyway wanted to see if anyone had any...

Hair Lairians! Mr. Nigel has won over the other cats very quickly. Him and Udo are already cuddly together and today was the first day he was aloud out in the house on his own. He has wonderful cat manners and gives the others their space and removes eye contact if they give him a warning...

Hail Lairians! After a very sad year and half of loss I started looking for another sphynx. Not very hard and I just kinda put the hope out there and figured if the right cat came along it was meant to be. Well, there came available a boy that was only 1 year five months good with other cats...

Hail Lairians! Udo helped supervise cleaning and UN winterizing the house today. Put up their new cat tree in one of the front windows. After all the commotion he could not keep his kitty eyeballs open any longer and crashed out on the couch. We have been blessed with such good weather and...

Hail Lairians! Do your cats like food puzzels? Udo does. We have 3 or 4 different ones that I load with treats for him to "hunt". Picked up a new one tonight. The Catit food tree. He took a bit to think about how to get to the treats. I put a few really high value ones in it to lure him in...

Hail Lairians! We have been hit by a bad snowstorm and then today is my day of. I am taking full advantage of all the rest I can as I really haven't had any time to myself between work and my mum having surgery and Doug was traveling. Anna and Vicky are keeping me company and I am teaching...

Udo sleeps with abandon. Like he has not a care in the world. It makes me laugh how carefree he is. And yes, he is on a diet....they holiday weight is on the way off. He has already lost 1 pound since the middle of December. Post your kits sleeping with abandon..... Come on, I know you...

Merlin's heart and time here ran out today. He went very peacefully. I really hate bringing home an empty carrier. But, I am at peace that he got some really quality time while he was on his medication regime. Thanks to all of of the Lair who were rooting for him.

We had friends in from Madison, Wisconsin. They are all in a band called Lords of the Trident. The band played a show here in Kalamazoo and stayed at the house. It was a really fun weekend catching up with the guys. They all were in awe of the cats. Udo and Merlin were super social...
