    Chicken necks, beef tail and other raw meat problem

    Before we got our kitten we had watched a dozen of videos about sphynx cats and their feeding routine. I saw kittens enthusiastically chewing bones and binging on raw meet (chicken and beef).

    All Teeth Extraction?

    Okay so this is going to be kind of a long one. I got my baby, Crypto, about a year ago from a dude who had about 2-3 sphynx cats in order to breed them. I was told he was probably about 3 years old when I got him. About a week or two after I got him home, I noticed he was missing one of his...
