Hello there. I am new to this forum and I am excited to hear about all things Sphynx. I got my little girl in June (she was born in March) and I fall more and more in love with her every day. I got my first pet (of my very own) when I was 16. I was deeply depressed and dealing with a lot of loss at the time and having an animal companion literally saved my life. I have always felt a connection with animals, especially cats. Having Chloe around showed me how wonderful the love of an animal can be. So, I began paying more attention to cats and thinking about what I would do when I lost Chloe. I decided I would want another cat around so the loss wouldn't be so hard.
In the past few years, I have been able to make more money and so I began to think about the possibility of owning (or being owned by) a Sphynx cat. I have always been fascinated by the breed and dreamed of having one, but I never thought I could actually have one. I did a lot (and I mean a LOT) of research on breeders (had some bad experiences, but also some good) and found the perfect one for me.
Chloe is now 11 years old and doing well. It has been difficult for her to adjust to having a kitten around (she was never exposed to other animals before), but after a few months, the girls are doing great and playing with each other constantly. Isis is truly a joy to have around. She makes little noises that sound like a bird/dinosaur combination and she has the personality of a bird dog. Whenever I am sitting down, she is in my lap. Whenever I lean down to pick something up, she is on my shoulder like a loyal parrot.
Anyway, I have been rambling. I joined this forum to get important information about health issues, but also to hear other people's stories and see their pictures of their babies. Since I got Isis, she has had problems with diarrhea. She tested negative for Giardia or any other issue (like worms, etc.), but obviously there is still a problem. She is on a grain free diet per her breeder, but I wonder if the food is making her sick. Any thoughts?
