Hi everyone,

I tried a few months ago to get involved with Spyhnxlair and I am hoping I now have the time to spend with guys. I currently have two cats. The first is black,smoke and white Devon Rex named Harley and he is 6 years old. My second cat is a 6 month old Sphynx named Cookie. Cookie came to me shortly after my beloved Orange Tabby Devon Rex, Tucker, passed away (had to put him to sleep) from complications due to diabetes. I wasn't thinking of getting another cat right away,but i was patrolling the internet looking for Devon Rexes and Sphynxes and came across a local breeder who a had four month old boy ready to go to his forever home. I named him Cookie right away from his pictures on Facebook. I have never had a Spyhynx before and he has been a true delight. He purrs a loud rumbling purr as soon as you touch him. He fetches and is very nosy about everything. I love him to pieces. Cookie and Harley get a long very well. They chase each other, sleep together and wash each other. I am so happy to see them getting along together. I also also happy to say that my husband, not really a cat lover, is also enjoying Cookie. He has brought real spark of life to our house. I will even go so far as to say that Cookie helped me from slipping back into a depression that I am trying to recover from. he makes me realise that feeding him is more important than lying in bed all day.

Cheers, Christa

Hi and welcome back! I'm sorry to hear that Tucker passed away, but I'm glad that Cookie has brought a new light into your lives. They are a very special breed, even the cat haters tend to love them :Laugh: I cant wait to see pics of both of your kitties.

It's great to finally hear from you! Cookie and Harley sound like they're absolutely wonderful. Cookie was a fantastic choice for a cat to help with your depression. As you have found out, these guys will not just sleep with you all day; they want you to interact with them ALL the time! And, it's really hard to stay depressed when you are laughing at his antics! Good luck to you,
Julie :ThumbsUp:

Great to have you back. I'm so sorry about Tucker but I'm really happy for you that Cookie has helped with the healing especially for helping you with your depression. Julie is right, it's do difficult to be sad with Sphynx antics keeping you smiling.

I'm so sorry for your loss of Tucker, and glad that Cookie has helped you find joy. They are the perfect cat for that. We were devastated when we lost our Ziggy, but Gizzy is such a loving funny goof that we have to laugh at his antics. Can't wait to see pictures of your babies and more stories!

Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome!

Cookie is a real clown of a cat! This morning I had breakfast sitting hunched over the table while Cookie enjoyed sitting on the back of my neck! I will try to post pictures of the whole gang soon!

Cheers, Christa

Welcome! Your Cookie sounds like my Dobby. :) I'm curious... does the Devon Rex have a personality similar to a Sphynx?
