Bless sorry for your experience on other sites! I find this site sooo useful n Eveyone cares n loves there kitty’s n urs! When my kitty was sick I got so much good advice n support from everyone!I think this site is absolutely amazing and is the most friendly site I have been on. To give a bit of a comparison I was briefly part of an online Facebook group that promotes the same concept of the lair. Someone asked me where I got my baby and I tried to tell them. The admin swooped in and deleted my comments bc the breeder wasn't on their approved list bc she didn't fix her cats before they are adopted. I tried to explain tht my breeder is CFA register and that her litters have small kittens so the vet advised to wait. The admin was extremely condescending and called me an idiot. They accused me of getting my sphynx from a backyard breeder. They also called me dumb for not knowing that my kitten had darkened from a chocolate to a seal point. This is the ADMIN being rude and name calling. I have never, not once felt like the members and especially not the admin were looking down on me or judging me for not knowing something,asking a question or stating a opinion.
Thank you! You and the rest of the lair fam have been a tremendous help to me! And don't let that innocent face fool you she is a diva and very mischievous! Case in point here is a pic of her sitting on my laptop during finals week bc I wasn't paying her enough attention.@Nicky00 , Awh ((hugs))

Sorry you've had this experience. I judge people on how they treat my animals. I lost interest in any interaction with one of my husband's aunts because she called my blind, ancient Siamese heart cat, Horus, dirty because he used his litter tray. How people treat animals speaks volumes about them. I was also really quite upset when I introduced my sphynx, Rankle, to my nephew via video call and he said "eugh! That's rank". No pun intended as I hadn't told him Rankle's name yet.I had no idea how afraid people would be of my Sphynx. I host a meet up game night at my house and have to keep the kitty upstairs when one of the ladies comes over. She is terrified of the cat. Then, a friend of mine that has 3 cats(with fur) did not want to meet my cat because she said hairless cats look like aliens. I don't even know how to respond. I usually just nervously laugh as I don't want to make a big deal about it. But, deep down it offends me since I find them to be so beautiful. I guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
I feel you disappointment especially when you know you have the worlds most awesome intellectual little soul in your care. I live in China and most people are afraid of any little animal. So when I started taking my boy outside for walks in my community I had the same reaction it was so bad no one would even get in the elevator with me and Shamus. Kids would run away from him screaming and crying. My apartment block is 31 floors with 12 apartments on each floor. There are 3 other buildings exactly the same So to get an elevator alone was bliss.I had no idea how afraid people would be of my Sphynx.

I totally agree This group is my sanity and only social interaction I have on the internet The help and advice I have been given here has blown my heart and mind away. If I could never have of survived with sanity to looking after my Sphynx without the help and advice from all you beautiful ladiesI totally missed everything that happened but I just wanted to say how lovely and supportive everyone has been in the past ❤️ This is such a lovely community
