I moved into my own (studio) flat from my parent's detached house and my sphynx moved with me. My folks' house had a lot bigger toilet where I kept my cat's litter and the air conditioning was better too so the smell of the litter didn't bother at all, you couldn't really smell anything. Now...

Hello! I'm very worried about my kitty. He is a little over a year old, and I've had him for almost a year. Recently he's started whining/howling. He whines and whines and whines, and whenever I try to comfort him he gets shy (which isn't like him AT all). He doesn't like being picked up...

Hi everyone! So I'm love my new lil guy Bartholomew. The first couple of days he was great really relaxed and seemed great one night he really freaked out running pouncing skittish attacking everything going super crazy. I didn't know (I'm sure it might be) if this was normal for kittens or if...

Hi there I was wondering if anyone has seen this before? My one year old Sphynx has developed these cuts/marks on his mouth that look like little fang marks? He doesn't have bad breathe or any teeth decay etc Is it possible he is developing some sort of under bite and his teeth may be somehow...

Hello, My name is Stephanie. I adopted a sphynx cat named Olaf, he is about 9 months old right now. About 3 weeks ago someone closed the door to the closet where his litter box was kept and he peed on our bed. (I think because he couldn't access his and really had to go!). But since then he has...

Hi All, I need your help and opinions! Day 4 of having the kitten, she's 3 mos old and we have been slowly introducing her to the dog (no close interactions.) She has finally gotten the hang of using the litter again, but is throwing up the little amount of food she is eating each day and...

So after having tried everything, moving the litter boxes, 8 different varieties if litter, a trip to the vets to rule out infection, I'm am still stuck as to why my girl sphynx (bindi) is still weeing everywhere. She has been spayed and although I thought that stopped the problem temporarily we...

I have a 10 month old girl who was given to me as a gift- my boyfriend bought her off craigslist from a woman who was SUPER aggressive and mean to me when I called her inquiring about any vet papers (there were none). When i got the kitten, she was already very sick and had a respiratory...

Hello all! I'm seeking some advice on some behavior change we've seen from Sturgeon the last two weeks. He's started hissing at our littlest, Walter. Mostly it seems like he's telling Walter to back off or stay away from a particular spot by the window that he has claimed as his own. Sturgeon is...

My partner and I are considering moving in together but there is one major hiccup in these plans; he's allergic to my cat. Because it has to do with an enzyme in the saliva it's almost worse that there's no fur involved. How can I have the best of both worlds?; keeping my commitment to both of...

Casper is my 1 year old boy, neutered and has many things to claw and play on. He destroyed my last upholstered headboard and I decided after him leaving my destroyed one alone to buy a new bed. The new bed is upholstered with faux leather and I noticed claw marks already!! He doesn't...

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...

We started feeding raw a week ago and our littlest, Walter, took to it like second nature. This is great because he has HCM and we wanted to feed him raw for health reasons. As for Sturgeon...well, he's picky. We started with ground chicken and he refused to go near it. He also doesn't like...

Hey Guys! I just got home from work and noticed my kitty has a small bump under his back leg. Kind of in his armpit I guess. He got his last set of fiv and luek. shots on wednesday so I am not sure if its related. But the shot was in his hip on that side, not his armpit. He is only 16 weeks old...

So I have a weird question: everyone says handle my sphynx kitten rough! What does that entail? How rough is to rough? How do I know if I am doing it right? And what results am I looking for ??

I have a beautiful sphynx cat called Audrey who is around 3 and a half years old. About two weeks ago i found a cut on her neck which is quite deep and around 1cm squared in size. It scabbed over quickly but every time she scratches behind her ear she reopens it so it isn't healing. I've been...

My 3y/o red sphynx, Paul, has been sick with this mysterious illness for months now. I have seen 3 different vet clinics and ran them each to the point of no solutions except "Maybe it's anxiety" and a long list of negative test results and a pretty hole burnt in my pocket. (It's not anxiety, I...

My two year old sweetheart sphynx just got diagnosed with HCM. It's not too extreme but it's noticeable... Our vet prescribed Lotensin/Benazepril however side effects include kidney damage so I'm hesitant to begin him on it right away. A lot of sphynx owners with babies who also have HCM say...

so! I feel like I'm over posting at the moment and feel like an over protective crazy, but I enjoy having fellow cat mums and dads reassurance and now more than ever I need it! Upon discussions with my vet about the use in ketamine and my not being to happy with the discussion I have rung round...

Bat Cat is an 8 year old neutered chocolate sphynx who is looking for his new home. He has an amazing temperament is very vocal and requires all of the love and attention he can possibly get. (I think) He would do better as the only cat as he is a jealous boy who wants complete and undivided...
