    Behaviour drastically changed, reaction to cold?

    Hello paw fam! Osi is now 1y and 4mos old and this is his second winter. Last year we didn't notice any flu symptoms in him, he was sleeping at the foot of our bed rolled into the bed cover, we put a winter sweater on him a few times to go out, don't remember that he needed it home or that he...

    Sphynx cat coughing and retching occassionally

    Mochi occassionally does this cough but seems okay otherwise. We've taken him to the vet before about it and they've done an xray and ultrasound and didnt find anything. The doctor said it could be seasonal and possibly allergies or feline asthma. He gave us antibiotics for a cold and sent us...

    cold winter nights

    Hello everyone! I can gladly say since my last post, our girl Saoirse no longer agressivly attacks our hands, and has become more well behaved! ^^ our next concern though.. it's getting colder over here, and in Belgium the costs for electricity, water, gas has skyrocketed and we plan on being...

    Hi everyone. I’d like to share my recent health experience and the conclusion with fellow Sphynx owners. I hope I can help others if they run into a similar situation. I am Marvin's mom - well - I am not really Marvin's mom - he belongs to my daughter - but he lives with me on and off as...

    Sneezing but not much else

    hi everyone! I am relatively new to owning a sphynx cat, but I’ve owned many cats before. My boy has started sneezing and getting a runny nose. I’m making this at 3 am because he woke me up with it and I’m worried! He’s less than a year old and hasn’t had any colds before, but he doesn’t have...

    Cat clothes

    Hi everyone: Just a general question wanting to know where you purchase your cat clothes. Any decent websites? Our pet stores only have dog clothes and none of them seem small enough for Raphael. We are having a deep freeze in Canada right now and although Raphael seems to be fine with...

    Cold or worse?

    Hello everyone! I didn't think to put a thread here because I thought it was just a normal cold, but it seems to be getting worse for my poor baby Artemis. Last week, Artemis had caught a "cold" or whatnot. I didn't think of it as much, she's had a cold before and it only lasted around 3 days...

    breeze litter box?

    I've had many friends recommend the breeze litter system to me since it is a lot less smelly, and there is no litter that will be tracked around the house. My kitten was using scoop away before I bought her, so I bought that for her to use and placed it next to the breeze. I'm trying to...

    When would you recommend a vet visit?

    Hey all! My 6 month old girl, Pearl, seems a bit too sneezy to me. Her nose has been a little cold and wet also. No coughing or really watery eyes. No wheezing from which I can tell. Appetite and water intake is fine and energy level seems normal. She is given l-lysine everyday. She was...

    Squinting eyes?

    I'm a Sphynx newbie! We took in a 2 year old male yesterday from a friend of a friend who couldn't care for him. I've got an appointment with the vet scheduled, but it's still a few days away. Can anyone answer a few questions? He squints his eyes. Both of them. Almost constantly. I used some...

When she snuggled under the duvet last it wad like she had little ice blocks instead of paws...

    Runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing?

    Hi, I am a brand new Sphynx owner and I am honestly a nervous wreck. I am so in love with my new baby boy, and I want to make sure he is as happy and healthy as he can be. I've only had him for 2 days now, and tomorrow is his vet appointment. When I picked him up Sunday evening the breeder said...
