My sweet little boy Sheldon passed Tuesday morning. He lived only 5 1/2 years. He succombed to a blood clot from HCM. He was diagnosed in January following a heart failure. I urge Sphynx owners to have their cats screened for this nefarious disease annuallly, before heart failure, while medications can greatly extend a life.
Sheldon was a special cat by all measures. Loving, fun, (human) toilet trained. Mischievous, he thought he was the king of my 3 mini poodles- and he was right!!!! He was never sick, showed no signs of illness until the HCM caused heart failure. Thundering through the house like he was being chased, helping me on the computer, pushing anything he could off tables, shelves and counters. A true cat and a loving member of our family.
Even people who hated cats loved my little boy. He has left a hole in my heart.
