    Anxiety (my own, not my Sphynx’s)

    Hi all, Not sure the best place to post this, but I’m looking for advice, or maybe just an audience that these feelings may resonate with. I got my first Sphynx 6 years ago. His name is Supreme. Despite owning and loving many animals in my life, I instantly knew something was different about...

    Need Help With Anxious Cat

    Hello! Writing to everyone from Brooklyn, NY. I am having a huge problem with my 4.5 year old male sphynx named Gigi. The issue is that he needs a lot of attention, as most sphynx's do, but I don't think it's possible to give him what he needs. He is constantly meowing, pacing, jumping on and...

    Thundershirt for constant meowing / anxiety?

    Hi, does anyone have experience with a constantly meowing Sphynx? We're thinking of getting the ThunderShirt for anxiety as seen here: Maybe this product will help or maybe we'll ask the vet if we can use some kind of calming supplements or meds. I've posted here several times about this...

    Does this meowing happen to you?

    Hello my fellow sphynx lovers! Does your little alien do this constant meowing? Pls see video attached with volume. Should I be worried? It happens often, probably daily for periods of time. Olga had just been fed so she wasn’t hungry. She’s spayed too so she’s not in heat. She’s about to turn...

    Reducing car anxiety?

    Hello! We have been taking our Ziggy (9 months old) on car rides when we go to visit my parents (45mins away). He does okay with it, he meows and seems a little stressed but it's not too bad. The last time we took him, he gobbled down his food right before we left and he ended up getting car...

    Anxiety, depression, and education

    I used to be super active in several online forums; particularly the Sphynxlair and Librarything. I'm easing back in here, and stumbling like hell trying to settle back on LT. I still automatically type that URL every other day when I forget which site I wanted to go to (the struggle of a...

    Sphynx REFUSES to not pee everywhere

    My sphynx is VERY inbred and has astronomical anxiety. I try to make sure he is loved enough, has access to his water fountain, good food quality and variety, and is entertained. Throughout his life he had struggled with peeing in his litter box. I've tried everything. I test his urine, no...

    Cat suddenly terrified and angry

    I have had my sphynx, Sansa, for two years and she's currently just a little older than that. She dealt with a respiratory infection as a kitten and had a bout of bloody stools back then as well but otherwise has been happy and healthy. She is very affectionate and loving, sleeping with me every...

    I am desperate for help

    Hi! I want to start this by saying I am DESPERATE and I really, really need help. I'm from Norway and I bought my first cat, a sphynx called Lykke (whitch means happiness).

    We left for a few hours and they hate each other now... happened to anyone else??

    Hubby and I went for a couple hours to run errands... typical Saturday. We got home, and Leo wasn't waiting for us... which was odd. Molly saw herself in the mirror and startled snarling and hissing. Leo came down stairs and was howling and hissing and snarling too as soon as he saw her...
