Hello! I'm a new sphynx mum, and I just had a question. My sweet girl, Callie, shakes all the time.
She does purr audibly but not always. She does seem to shake when she's happy though. Is it possible that the shaking is purring? She's definitely not cold. For example, less than 10 minutes ago, she climbed inside my tshirt (wearing a t-shirt herself!) and began to shake. She starts to shake as soon as she's in my arms or laid on me too. She's 10 weeks and the vet said she was healthy when I took her last week for her first check.
Sorry if this is a silly question, I just want to get as much right as I can for her!
I've attached a picture because she's so stinking cute I just want to show her off lol!

@Nell6568 , there are no silly questions. we are here for you and baby Callie! all paws are family. hugs n head smooches. members will surely chime in. some sphynx stay with their mum till 14-16 weeks old. maybe a young kitten behavior when they cuddle with their mum? you are her mum! we have several nakids that love cuddling inside shirts too!
so glad you decided to jump in and join us . it truly is an amazing caring supportive family. I joined here over a decade ago and never looked back. happiest Callie Gotcha. melt my heart
sharing, my nakids do what I call normal "vibrating" when they are content and snuggling with me purring.

I read that they purr in different contexts, grooming, nursing, sleeping .
