Hello! I’ve took the best advice from this community when it came to cleaning my cats ear. I was wondering though, is it common that when you clean their ears they start to salivate a lot and drooling afterwards? Is it an allergic reaction ?

Hey, Sphynxlair Community - Our sweet kitty has a gnarly break-out of large, red, incomfy bumps on her head. It started with about 1-2 bumps and right when we throught they were going away more popped up!! She has eaten the same freeze-dried duck morsels by Stella & Chewy since we got her...

Hi! I rescued my little girl about a month ago. I read up on things I had to do to keep her skin healthy but I think I’ve messed up!! As you can see in the photo she’s got a “rash” it doesn’t seem to hurt her but it is flaking and I’m worried I’ve hurt her skin unintentionally. I’ve been using...

Hi everyone! I desperately need some advice on my two babies. We have had little Spock since he was 14 weeks old and he is now 7 years old and has always been an only child. 3 weeks ago we adopted Puna, a 7 year old girl. At first Spock was very unsure of her and would hiss and swat her. Then...

Hi guys, Sorry to post urgently but I'm concerned about Loki. After chomping on some dry food he started making what I can only describe as a little crunching noise in his mouth. I wondered if he had managed to get a bit of dry food stuck - can't see anything. Judging by his biting habits...

Hello everyone! I got a lovely wee sphynx boy a week ago and he seems to be settling in well! Managed to use his litter tray well and eating well too (not drinking much but I hear that’s ok) As of yesterday afternoon he seems to be a bit “off” he meowed and hissed at me cause I was moving his...

Baby started having diarrhea yesterday ;n; sticky and smelly, too - and causing him to whinge a bit when he needs to go (not loudly or for long, but clearly there's discomfort). His poops were great his first week here and honestly didn't notice a smell. Then suddenly he was starting to get...

ok maybe a bit extreme, but seriously, she knows how to get under our skin... our kitty is around 6M old and lately she has stopped showing ANY interest in any of her toys. she refuses to play on her own, and even when we do play with her, it's not as high energy and invested as it used to be...

Hello all. I’ve been lurking for a while and have been very happy with my sweet baby. I got him July 15th and he’s been great! Until now. He has gotten into the habit of maximum zoomies that are often violent. On multiple occasions, he has jumped onto my leg and bitten me, attacked my arm...

Hello guys! First of all I’d like to apologize for my english, since it’s not my first language. I have a sphynx kitten for 2 months, and last week I found those spots on his skin. I took him to the vet and she couldn’t figure out she couldn't figure out what it was, but her main theory was the...
