@Mykel welcome to sphynxlair. Aix is cute. And Aix sure loves daddy very much. So happy to be close to daddy!

 

[Mykel]

Never had a sphynx but always wanted one, now I have one he's like Velcro wherever I am he is. But I love it

 

[Toa and Ross]

Aix is such a handome boy. I love his wrinkles! I think Sphynx inspirered velcro

Aaaw still a little kitten! Now Aix is even more adorable to me

 

[Mykel]

He seems to eat more than the bigger cat given half the chance, is this normal ? He has been checked for worms ect and he is all clear. I just wondered if this is a breed thing?

 

[aly26]

Definitely normal. They have a higher motabolism so they eat a lot more than a regular cat. Aix is super handsome!

Welcome to sphynxlair, good to have you.
Handsome little Gentleman. Congrats...

Sphynx are also know as piggy's when it comes to eating. They could eat a horse and still feel hungry.
But seriously sphynx do eat a lot more then hairy cats cause food helps them keep their temperature right. And kittens in a grow spurt eat even more!

 

[Mykel]

Thank you for your replies, he is on royal canin wet and dry and does seem to like it, are there any treats or other foods anyone can recommend. Thanks again

 

[Toa and Ross]

Aix really is a daddy's boy! What a cutie.

My sphynxes are not so much into treats but they love tuna!

 

[Mykel]

Something else which We find odd is our night time wash, when he is ready to curl up and sleep he gives us a wash first. Is this another trait of the breed ?

 

[Toa and Ross]

I think that a special Aix trait. At least my sphynxes don't do so. Bit curious to hear if others sphynes do so!

 

[Lickleone]

My boys "wash" my arms and hands

[Toa and Ross]

Aaaaaaw Aix making sure daddy has a clean face and showing him how much he loves him

Hello and welcome. Aix is unbelievably adorable. You must be so smitten.

Yes, Sphynx are velcro and will eat half their weight in food per day if you let them! Mine eat almost a quarter pound of meat for each meal, three times a day.

As for treats -- it can vary. They're all a little different. Mine love these dental treats, and various dry meat treats.

As for the washing... again, sounds very individual. Max never grooms me while Min always like to press herself into my face and neck.

Enjoy!

Astrid does that lol she also likes doing it at three in the morning as she sits on my neck.
My girl is on royal canin too, calorie control. She eats greenies for treats. Miss picky doesn't like any other treats. If the food works for your baby, no point changing it atleast in my opinion.

@Mykel Welcome to you and Aix! It doesn't take long for them to completely steal your heart away! Our Neboo used to do that as well...we called it her sandpaper kisses.:cat::kiss:
