It's "Cat Week" at Mercola Healthy Pets, so they're posting an article every day devoted to cat health and nutrition. Here is a link to the first one that was just posted today. Not advocating any one food, there's something here for everyone. How to Turn Your Finicky Feline into a Foodie

Hi everyone, I'm new here! I have two babies, Berlioz and Gretchen, both sphynx. I have been feeding them Evo brand since they were wee little babies and I have just heard that beginning in March, they will no longer be stocking shelves with this brand of food! I was wondering if any kitty...

Hi guys! I’m posting for the first time to hopefully receive some insight and answers, as I feel my sphynx baby’s problems are reoccurring and not being fixed by my vet. Misha will be 3 years old this coming December. I traveled from VA to FL to pick her up from the breeder when she was just...

Just doing some research on what wet/dry food brands people are using down under (Aus/NZ) a lot of the brand's I have seen recommend are not readily available in this part of the world and my partner and I would rather not spend a fortune shipping in food since shipping prices are obnoxious for...

I have two kittens (6 months and 10 weeks) that are currently on two different, wet-food-only diets. I'm not confident in my ability to feed them a good raw diet (I can barely prepare food for myself!), and I've heard it's best to stick to wet food until they are over a year old. I would love...

I am picking up my new sphynx baby soon. I have two other indoor cats, 1 bengal and 1 ginger moggy. The sphynx kitten is currently on royal canin mother and babycat food which I will keep her on for a while when she comes here however I would like to get a decent dry food that I can feed them...

Hi! Ive been obsessed with Sphynxs (and all animals) for years and years! I decided to finally go for it and get my own little Sphynx! He will not be ready until 9th June. He is a little dark wrinkly black boy! :') I am aware you have to trim their nails, clean their ears and bathe them. I am...

Hello! My kitten is about 9 weeks old. I've had her for 5 days now. I currently have her free feeding on dry food (~1/4+ cup a day) and I give her 1/3 of a can of wet food 3x a day (7am, 1pm, 8pm). She really likes wet food but dry food she's not so keen on eating it but she will eat it when...

About two months ago we came back from a month long trip from Thailand and when we got back we noticed that Harry was not peeing in the litter after a few days we brought him to the vet. His bladder was fine but we got his urine checked and there was Crystals. So the vet told us to give him...

Hi all! I introduced myself a couple of days ago. We are still a few months out from getting our baby but I have a few questions that I'd like opinions on. What is your favorite shampoo for your sphynx? Do you use any sort of skin moisturizer? What is your go to litter? What food/type of...

Hi! I'm new to this forum but have had my little sphynx for over a year now. He's a bit skinny so we're looking at maybe changing his food, however we've always been told by both the breeder and some places on the internet that sphynx were severely allergic to fish and can't have fish oil...

Hello everyone! My Ortensia is a 3 y.o. female (spayed) sphynx beauty who has had a couple issues that I have been battling since I've had her (at 14 weeks). Problem #1: Ortie has chronic loose stools. When I first got her as a kitten, I put her on grain free blue buffalo kitten food and she...

My 13 year old female Sphynx was developing some questionable symptoms a few months back that caused concern. When I took her to the vet to get her blood work done it showed a high white blood cell count and the liver panel was another cause for concern. Vet told me she had a "fatty liver" which...

Hello!!! I am feeding Primal raw nuggets rabbit and I was wondering if anyone else uses this and what serving size you use. My girl is right around 5lbs (she's very petite) and it says for her weight to do 2-3 nuggets a day. Right now, I am at 6 and she still begs and screams for food. I'm a...

I see a lot of discussion about raw diets here, and as much as I would love to participate in that, I just don't think I'll have the time or the stomach (both my boyfriend and I are vegetarian) to make it work well. So I'm on the hunt to find the best types of dry food that others use. I've seen...

Hey all, Just curious... does anyone else here feed Wellness CORE Fish & Fowl dry food at all, and have you recently noticed any changes in how your sphynx handles it? I just bought a new bag of it yesterday, fed some to her this morning with her normal wet food, and now have spots of cat vomit...

Did anyone have problems of vomitting and diarrhea when changing from one type of food to another? I did not know that i had to change the diet slowly and i changed it immediately..will my sphynx get used to the new diet or shall it resume to the old diet? Thanks

Any advice would be appreciated Thanks :D

Hi all! This is my first post here :) I adopted my 4 year old Sphynx ,Cleo, from someone who could no longer keep her about 3 months ago. We've run the gamut on common issues (not going in the litter box, persistent neck scratching, refuses to take baths...) but have mostly resolved all but...

Hello all, Thought i'd ask a few question regarding these new meal i'm trying on Sassy. Firstly, when i had Sassy she had already been pooping loose stools and was given dry food by the vet. That was when we were in London. But i brought her back to my hometown here in Brunei and its gotten...

Hello! : ) I've been following this forum for a while but finally decided to join, especially since my boy has something going on with his skin. Vets around here don't have much knowledge about sphynxes, so maybe you can offer your opinions before I'll visit the vet. First of all, he has these...

Any tips, information, or "things I wish I knew before starting a raw diet" would be supremely helpful. Also- I don't currently have a grinder- can I supplement with bone broth for now? Thanks!

I got Sebastian about a month ago, the breeder had him eating purina kittnen chow, when I got him home I made the switch to acana pacifica, I mixed the food for a few days until it was just the new food, he had started with solid stools but not theyre loose, and has been that way for about a...

Hi so my sphinx cat was on royal canin 36 kitten and everything was great. When he past 1 yr I switched to royal canin 33 sensible, and the problems began he started to poop with blood. I took him to the vet where he gave me royal canin cat veterinary gastrointestinal, all was good and after...

Hey guys, So Oli (1 year old sphynx) has been doing these weird twitching freak outs recently and the skin on his back starts rolling and he runs around like crazy. I looked this up and it is apparently Feline Hyperesthesia. Ever since he was a kitten, he always licks and chews his tail a lot...
