    (Apologies if this is mentioned elsewhere but I couldn’t find what I was looking for) I often see comments on here about people cleaning their Sphynx’s nails and nail gunk. Would someone be able to post a photo giving an example of what dirty nails look like? I trim Misty’s (1 y old neutered...

    One of my boys is extra oily. Help? ALSO, fav products for cleaning paws?

    Hi all. I have 2 sphynx boys, Albus (6) and Draco (2), and Draco is significantly more oily than Albus. He gets dirtier faster, his ears get waxier faster, and his nails get gunkier faster. Which of course means that between baths (1-2 weeks), furniture and counters get more marks on them. Does...

    Cat Nail Question

    So my boy Arlo has THE WORST nails.. they seem to never ever come clean and are always hard to retract when I try to clean in the deep folds. I noticed tonight that some of his back nails almost look like they are split on the underside back part of the nail. It looks like there is a...

    Clipping your Sphynx cat nails.

    How often should I clip my Sphynx cat's nails and how? We recommend clipping your Sphynx cat's nails every seven to ten days depending on how much you clip the nail back. We prefer regular human nail clippers. We just clip the very tip so we do it a little bit more often, once a week right...
