    Always squinting?

    My little 8 month old boy is always squinting! Since the day we got him. Is he just a Snoop Dogg looking kitty or could it be an issue? :) he doesn't seem bothered by his eyes, and they aren't goopy beyond normal. Never red or irritated. I'm still new to sphynx babies so I'm not sure! Thanks :)

    So my 1 year old kitten has white hair growing on her tail and muzzle, but I don't know if this stops after she gets a little older? She has lots of peach fuzz elsewhere on her body, too. I've done some research and it says the peach fuzz is normal, but I don't know about the two other spots...
