The fact that you care so much for your animals that you buy them the best quality food and you take such great care of them is amazing. Seeing someone who loves their pets so much just really made my day!
Thank you for sharing! Cats will 'dig' their water because they are trying to create movement in the still water. Out in the wild they are used to drinking from flowing bodies of water. I would recommend a cat water fountain to alleviate their stress around still water.
I'm researching now to see if I actually want a sphynx, and I love honest videos that focus on all the possible negatives. My current cat is a Bengal, and thanks to people sharing horror stories about them being destructive, both skittish and confident, independent, and noisy... I've not had any nasty surprises with my boy. I fact I find myself warning people he's far better behaved than many Bengals and I'm kinda disappointed he isn't a little more energetic! So far, I think a sphynx will be fantastic. The neediness, the fact they have to be indoors, even the need for bathing and clothing all suit me quite well. I also live in a warmer area that'll suit them, and when it's cold we have a wonderful fireplace that warms the whole house
I love how you give so much information on sphynx cats and that really does help the cats to get good owners that will not only click with the cat but also understand what the cat needs and will also invoke a very happy lifestyle for the cat. I also really love how this video has so much emotional but also in a way scientific content I find it really ingenious.
I adore Sphinx cats, but I know that we would probably not be able to care for one as well s/he deserves. Thanks so much for the straight story about living with them! Your video is very informative. 🤗
Astrid is so adorable!! I have a 1.5 year old sphynx named Peach. Btw just a health tip that I didn’t know, sphynx cats are actually extremely intolerant to fish. My mother has Peach’s brother (Harry) and was feeding him cat rated tuna and salmon. He ended up in the hospital on IV because he couldn’t stop throwing up/diarrhea etc. The first indication was a very red splotchy rash all over his skin and a high fever. Anyways Harry is alive and well, but just want to spread awareness that sphynx cats cannot have any type of seafood including seafood in treats. Have a lovely day! :)
missJROCK113 you’re supposed to feed the baby Raw Fish ! Fresh fish from the market like Publix and cook it a little over the stove and feed it to them or raw... and caviar is extremely good for them!! They are Expensive!
I will be getting my cat this year ! And I’ve been obsessed with them for about 7 yrs now! My baby will be A calico with blue or green eyes! The breeder has mazing babies!!! They are wonderful and Life changing animals❤️❤️
V accurate assessment re: high maintenance. I dont regret 4 a minute getting my baby just pls know what ur getting into 4 the cats sake. Ear, nail maintenance is essential bc they r prone to infections & worst case hearing loss/surgery. Tip: use Exfoliating gloves to really help keep skin clean & conditioned specific to hairless cats.
Joejoejoe I would say every regular cat. I own two cats (not pedigree, normal cats🐱) and they are extremely independent. The only effort is to give them food/water and keep the litter clean. They clean themselves, are free to go outside, play with other cats and dogs and do whatever they want 🤣 I also own two dogs, and they are way more high maintenance than cats (we have to clean them, walk them out, they need way more attention because they want to play with us and want you always to be around etc). I guess having a Sphynx is more or less like having a dog, but with some extra special needs :)
I got my sphynx cat 6 months ago she’s the same colour as yours she’s the most loving and cutest cat we’ve ever had. She is just like a dog to be honest if you throw a toy she’ll bite it and bring it back to you like a dog so cute! Also always be careful before sitting down as they may be sleeping under your covers as they like to seek warmth or you could buy them a shirt to keep them warm on a winters day so cute
im picking up a little whippet soon. and had this wild idea of getting a hairless cat. shame theres none with this color in my country for sale at the moment
What a beautiful black sphynx . She even has little half whiskers . Very lucky to have a cat that georgeous. I'm glad you take suck good care of her. Everything in this video is correct... High maintenance cat, the licking is constant unless you stop them, and very fun and loving, not your typical cat. GREAT VIDEO!!
Thank you for this video, we are proud owners of boy and girl sphynx (we have 2 other cats aswell) and they are so perfect, so gracefull, so special, i cant put it into words. Yes, you have a bit of work with them, but it aint a big deal.
Great great video wasn’t just you talking you had ur cat on camera with u and when u had your cat off camera you was showing products you use for ur cat I’m impressed
Hi from Canada! Wow Thank you so much for this video! You really taught me a lot especially about the food! I read about raw foods and all for sphynx and was happy to hear what you have to say about that. I also really agree with and love what you said about if you’re going to get a pet, to be sure you can afford to take care of them and get them very healthy food. That’s exactly how I am too. Again, thank you for this video!! I really loved it! I subscribed and will be watching more of your videos!
I know this video is old but... Cool man i have 5 of these amazing kitties and one looks just like this one only white... such beautiful eyes my special treasure! Congrats! Good for you keeping up with the litter mate!!!!
Very impressed with the research you did, love to see pet owners like you! Thanks for the tip on mixing the raw food with wet gravy food, can't understand it didn't cross my mind yet, because one of my kitties is very picky too. ❤👌
I appreciate this video, thanks! I really would like to have one, I am obsessed with them 🤣 the fact that they are so lovely and friendly really is a plus. 🥰
Hi, your girl is so adorable, OMG! We own a Sphinx boy as well. He is grey. We feed him Royal Canine for Sphinxes and wet Schesir (Tuna and papaya) cat food. You are right by saying Sphinxes are very high maintenance kitties but it is so worth it. We all adore our prince.
This was a great video. I'm hoping to adopt a sphynx in the future and it was very informative. You also have a very natural presence - would love to see more vids from you! ^_^
I feel like my biggest takeaway from this vid (that I didn't get from others) is the raw food suggestion. That sounds like a game changer. Better nutrition and less poo? I'll definitely be looking into well rounded raw options for cats in the U.S.. Also, thank you for the rest of your honest information. Really helpful! Can you comment on how well sphynx's (or yours) can travel in vehicles? I'm thinking bringing them along on adventures/vacations (with the proper garments and enrichment to keep them comfortable and happy, of course) may be a great way to keep them close, included, and happy?
A litter Robot is a great investment for my bambino kitten. He loves it and it stays clean. I keep his skin shiny and soft by giving him a wipe down of witch Hazel wash and then a good rinse after his baby shampoo bath and gentle scrub with a washcloth. He enjoys bathtime. I also use a cat ear wash and hold his ear tight and put in a few drops and rub his ears and then wipe the outer ear with q-tips. Every Tuesday and Friday this is our ritual. I love bath days and he does too
Beautiful cat! Thanks for the information. You’re right that there aren’t many videos about caring for them -I really liked this! (Also, was that a Dalmatian with you? If so Please make a video sometime! :) would love to see your normal day/week routine. They have high energy but I’m told can also be a calm dog? Would love to see how active you are with him/her. Or maybe it’s a Great Dane! 😅😂) Again beautiful cat! She seems so happy and loved. ❤️
Alexandria thank you so much and I’m so pleased that you found this video informative! I do have 2 dalmatians you have a very keen eye! I would be more than happy to do a video about what it’s like to be a dally owner 😊 they are not for everyone but when you got a match they are amazing!
Great video. I appreciate all the information you shared. I fell in love with these beautiful cats this year and im thinking about investing in one when we move. ☺️
I had cats that used to get wildly excited when their litter box was being cleaned. they would follow around and watch and just couldn't wait to jump in and use it once the clean litter was in.
You did a really great job with this video! ...and she's gorgeous! You're a really good "Mum" --I can surely tell ("only the best", physically, *psychologically,...all-'round: ) I was trying to read a lot of the comments below, and......"Uh-Oh!" There'll have to be a Sphynx LOTTERY! HOW MANY "I'm going to get one", and "I'm looking for one", and (again) "I'm going to get one"-es do YOU count here?! You know how difficult they are to get, probably -- there just aren't as many as the # of "plans" below!!! Well, it's always "good" to keep one's hopes up and 'plan for one's future'.............ok now, "ya'll get in line FOR YOUR (lottery) TICKETS!" : ) All blessings!.....and (extra-) smooches for your fur babies!
The allergies are not caused by the hair. It is small particles on the skin called dander. Sphinx are meant to have a lot of dander as they have no hair to mitigate it. There are some breeds that are supposed to be hypoallergenic but your mom should be around one of them before buying a pet. Ownership should be forever!
i was thinking about getting a sphinx but i am glad i just got a normal functional animal that i could let outside and doesn't have any other maintenance than food and water. Regular cat have got to be the easiest pet to keep
one of my cats (not a sphynx) was an ear-sucker. he was injured as a kitten, so by the time i adopted him... well, he was an ear-sucker. i would love to adopt a sphynx, but at present, i rescue whatever moggie presents its dainty paws.
We've had two sphynx cats for 8 years now, our cattery told us not to bathe our cats even though the internet is full of this advice, because the cat will have less trouble with the oils, cats that are bathed produce a lot more oil. We've never had much trouble! The cats sleep with their blankets that get washed once a week or so. The only con is when they are in the garden enjoying the sun, they produce a bit more oil, and start rolling in the sand and go to us to rub it off, I think it could be to reduce the oil, and for the affection of course :). Our cats never get sunburn by the way, they go to the shade/inside on time.
Great video, thank you, I got some tips from you for my two :-) absolutely amazing to have, a lot of work, I've seen a lot who have underestimated that and not done their research before and the cat has gone back to the breeder really sick, one of mine is a rescue. So I agree with you on doing the research and recommend having two unless there's other animals around. Your Asterix is gorgeous btw! ;-)
callin petzer hi! ☺️ yes I’m definitely planning an update video at some point! We actually have another sphynx cat now too called Flóki. I want to talk about the advantages having two in the next video as well ☺️
hi, this is such a nice video and I‘ve learned so much from it about sphynx cats.🥰 But I still have one question: What do you do if you go on vacation for example? Because she‘s so loving, wouldn’t she be very lonely if you aren’t there? I‘m very curious because I‘ve been thinking about getting a Sphynx cat somewhere in the future aswell and I want to give her a good life.😇
Love the info on this video, very helpful. What you’re feeding is very good compared to kibble, but have you considered using a totally prey model raw diet? It works out really cheap when you do it yourself in comparison to even cheap kibble, and is the healthiest thing to feed your cat. The ratio is usually roughly 80% muscle meat, 10% edible bone and 10% organ meat (with 5% of that being liver). Some people add a few sardines and raw eggs to this mix too, and others replace the bone with crushed egg shell although that’s supposedly not as good as raw bone. This can be achieved using shop bought meats and ground in a meat grinder or prepared in other ways, and can even progress to providing whole prey foods which are naturally balanced. There’s lots of info around about PMR (prey model raw) diets and some great Facebook groups. Definitely will be something I’m going for when I get my sphynx next year as I’ve been trying to think of a high quality diet I can feed that won’t break the bank!
I have had my nekked bebe for 3+ years- I'm a PICU nurse, and work 12h shifts, so am away from home for 13-14h on work days. My boy is doing well, but he does have a furry brother to keep him company!
Hi, I love Sphinx cats and I was planning to buy one . U told us in the video that they need a lot of attention, I will love to give them attention but I’m a student Do u think it will become a problem for the cat? Pleas let me know.
I'm a very introverted person with mostly long distance friends. I'm considering getting a Sphynx cat. I'm also homeschooled so I'm home a lot. I'm in High School so I'd have to ask my parents first, but I really hope that they approve. Maybe I'll finally have a closer friend 😂
Hi ! Do you ever try actual raw food with your pets, ie chicken hearts, liver, hare meat all minced up with some omega 3 oil by yourself? There is a channel called Loulou and friends where a Dutch lady owns some absolutely adorable Dacshunds amongst other pets. She feeds them actual raw food which she cuts up her self. She’ll sometimes add some omega3 oil, a raw egg etc. The dogs are an absolute picture of health and their coats are incredibly shiny. Have a look and see if you might find any tips to adapt for your lovely Sphinx.
Oh I'm in love with your sphinx she is beautiful and sounds like she's perfect, except for the stepping in poo part. I had 4 Boston terriers and lost 3 of them in the past 3 years. My wife and I along with our little boy whose definitely been depressed since losing his brother are thinking of getting a sphinx kitten, I see you have dogs and assume they get along but wanted to know your opinion on sphinxs and dogs and how they get along also are they pests with the dogs cause my boys getting old. Thanks for the video and again she is so beautiful
If I ever get one, I will take it everywhere! And oh the sweaters and collar selection it would have. And a royal throne bed collection! Princess or Jules, yes I have names chosen. I would be it's servant until I die, and leave it my house and all my money.
Be careful if you get a Sphynx cat. What happened to me may well happen to you. My when my wife first introduced me to the breed my first thought was that they were ugly! It took a year for her to get me to go look at one at the breeder. Once, I did see them in person I completely changed my opinion! They went from an "ugly" cat to the most amazing and interesting cats I have ever known. Yes, quite the transformation. I say be careful because the Sphynx kitten I got became one of the loves of my life and best friend ever! His name was Niles. He was that dark grey color like yours and was my best buddy. My heart was literally broken in half when he passed away six months ago. We were inseparable for his 9 years of wonderful life. I know I will never be over his loss.
It would depend on how old the children are, and whether you have taught them to respect animals. Sphynx cats tend to be very attached to their humans and are generally not as independent as some other breeds. Whilst they are still cats (and nowhere as dependent as dogs), it wouldn't be good for a sphynx to be left alone without any company for hours on end. As for getting two cats versus one, 2 cats = 2x the trouble and mischief that one cat can cause.
I’m cat sitting a Sphinx and she has what I believe are eat wax stuck to her neck where the collar goes. I’m assuming it’s a combo of ear wax, other oils and dirt. Regardless the spots won’t wipe off. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Matthew Saunders she was £1000 - her parents were HCM scanned and clear and Fiv free. She was also vaccinated, wormed and chipped 😊 it depends on the sphynx cat! Astrid barely ever gets bathed as she’s just very clean whereas Floki (my other one) gets bathed every 2 weeks 😊
All sphynx cats do it and they leave their mother at 12 weeks which is later than most that is just how they show affection and by no means an indicator being taken too early though yes it could be in other cat breeds
Ours come from a breeder that doesn't allow the kittens to leave until they are 12 weeks. It has been very common occurrence amongst guardians of the kittens from this breeder to nurse or lick, even having been able to nurse as long as mom would allow.
Cats of all breeds tend to exhibit neoteny (retaining juvenile behaviours). It has nothing to do with whether they were weaned to early. Neoteny is a desired trait in animals we keep as pets as it makes them much cuter and more cuddly.
If you have allergies you'll most likely still have issues. Some people are allergic to saliva and or the dander. They still create dander even though they're mostly hairless. Which is why they need baths. Depending on how severe your kids allergy is idk if I'd get a cat. But when you say they have allergies are you just being general or have they had an official allergy test? I myself have had allergy tests over the course of my life and am allergic to common pets like birds dogs and cats. As well as most things outside. However I'm more allergic to grass than I am to animals. I actually get hives from grass. So just depends on if you know what they're specifically allergic to and how bad it is.
yes ! they love walks so much ! just keep the temperature in mind because they can overheat very easily and if it's chilly be sure your cat wears a sweater :))
@@alicia8005 For taking them on walks, shouldn't they need to be covered in some way from the sun due to the health issues it can cause? Or would a walk every now and then uncovered not hurt them?
I just got my own sphynx cat, they’re so adorable and loyal
That's funny my family breeds them and whe're probably having another litter around mid February early March

I've had my Sphynx for 3+ years- he only gets a bath every 2-3 months! I 100% agree!
Ich,wünsche euch einen guten Morgen 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m looking to get a sphynx cat and this was really helpful thanks
Great video, thank you, I got some tips from you for my two :-) absolutely amazing to have, a lot of work, I've seen a lot who have underestimated that and not done their research before and the cat has gone back to the breeder really sick, one of mine is a rescue. So I agree with you on doing the research and recommend having two unless there's other animals around. Your Asterix is gorgeous btw! ;-)
I own a Sphynx now. Super amazing cat!!
Great video. I'm really considering getting one. Can you do an update video? Or have you noticed any changes or easier ways to do things?
callin petzer hi! ☺️ yes I’m definitely planning an update video at some point! We actually have another sphynx cat now too called Flóki. I want to talk about the advantages having two in the next video as well ☺️
@@ravzn the advantages are they suck on each others neck, not yours
Ich,wünsche euch einen guten Tag ❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂
Look at this precious baby. I RELATE TO YOU SIS !!! I love ma hairless baby kitten !!!
Loved your video. We are expecting 2 naked babies and I found your video very useful. May I ask where you buy the food you are using? thank you
Thank you for sharing. I want to become a sphinx and a dog parent. This video helps.
Hi. How do you stop your cat going out when you let your dogs out into the garden?
Love them, I had 2 for 15 years, brother and sister from the same litter, one of them just died at 15 years 4 month and 2 days
hi, this is such a nice video and I‘ve learned so much from it about sphynx cats.🥰
But I still have one question: What do you do if you go on vacation for example? Because she‘s so loving, wouldn’t she be very lonely if you aren’t there? I‘m very curious because I‘ve been thinking about getting a Sphynx cat somewhere in the future aswell and I want to give her a good life.😇
The way they feel reminds me of crushed velvet
I work the nightshift, which means I’ll stay away from home about 10 hours 10 nights a month. Would my work schedule be compatible with sphynx cats?
i’m planning on getting one tysm for this helpful vid💗💖
Love the info on this video, very helpful. What you’re feeding is very good compared to kibble, but have you considered using a totally prey model raw diet? It works out really cheap when you do it yourself in comparison to even cheap kibble, and is the healthiest thing to feed your cat. The ratio is usually roughly 80% muscle meat, 10% edible bone and 10% organ meat (with 5% of that being liver). Some people add a few sardines and raw eggs to this mix too, and others replace the bone with crushed egg shell although that’s supposedly not as good as raw bone. This can be achieved using shop bought meats and ground in a meat grinder or prepared in other ways, and can even progress to providing whole prey foods which are naturally balanced. There’s lots of info around about PMR (prey model raw) diets and some great Facebook groups. Definitely will be something I’m going for when I get my sphynx next year as I’ve been trying to think of a high quality diet I can feed that won’t break the bank!
Creature Collective thanks so much for your comment - both my sphynx cats are actually completely raw fed now! ☺️ we use natural instinct x
Ich,wünsche euch einen guten Tag ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks❤❤❤
How about working away from home (within my city) for 8-12 hours a day?
I have had my nekked bebe for 3+ years- I'm a PICU nurse, and work 12h shifts, so am away from home for 13-14h on work days. My boy is doing well, but he does have a furry brother to keep him company!
How does your cat get along with your dog?
Hi,
I love Sphinx cats and I was planning to buy one . U told us in the video that they need a lot of attention, I will love to give them attention but I’m a student
Do u think it will become a problem for the cat?
Pleas let me know.
There's not many videos on first vet visit and care from that perspective. What foods are recommended
I'm a very introverted person with mostly long distance friends. I'm considering getting a Sphynx cat. I'm also homeschooled so I'm home a lot. I'm in High School so I'd have to ask my parents first, but I really hope that they approve. Maybe I'll finally have a closer friend 😂
Hi !
Do you ever try actual raw food with your pets, ie chicken hearts, liver, hare meat all minced up with some omega 3 oil by yourself? There is a channel called Loulou and friends where a Dutch lady owns some absolutely adorable Dacshunds amongst other pets. She feeds them actual raw food which she cuts up her self. She’ll sometimes add some omega3 oil, a raw egg etc. The dogs are an absolute picture of health and their coats are incredibly shiny. Have a look and see if you might find any tips to adapt for your lovely Sphinx.
Rhesa Obineche hey! Yes since this video we do feed them just like that - they LOVE IT! Thank you so much 😘😘
Ich,wünsche euch einen guten Tag 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh I'm in love with your sphinx she is beautiful and sounds like she's perfect, except for the stepping in poo part. I had 4 Boston terriers and lost 3 of them in the past 3 years. My wife and I along with our little boy whose definitely been depressed since losing his brother are thinking of getting a sphinx kitten, I see you have dogs and assume they get along but wanted to know your opinion on sphinxs and dogs and how they get along also are they pests with the dogs cause my boys getting old. Thanks for the video and again she is so beautiful
If I ever get one, I will take it everywhere! And oh the sweaters and collar selection it would have. And a royal throne bed collection! Princess or Jules, yes I have names chosen. I would be it's servant until I die, and leave it my house and all my money.
I know people walk their sphynx cats on leads, do u do that?
I have a Sphinx cat. Her name is Inky. She loves to cuddle with me or my boyfriend. And she loves to give kisses. She hates bathtime
You should have two litter trays per cat. They usually like one to pee in and one to poo in
It's funny to watch her provide information while her cart licks the skin off her spouse. 😂😂
why did you burn its whiskers off?
Try transitioning Her to Pine Litter.
The cat smell is almost Zero.
Finally a cat enjoys human company MIRACLE!!!
Be careful if you get a Sphynx cat. What happened to me may well happen to you. My when my wife first introduced me to the breed my first thought was that they were ugly! It took a year for her to get me to go look at one at the breeder. Once, I did see them in person I completely changed my opinion! They went from an "ugly" cat to the most amazing and interesting cats I have ever known. Yes, quite the transformation. I say be careful because the Sphynx kitten I got became one of the loves of my life and best friend ever! His name was Niles. He was that dark grey color like yours and was my best buddy. My heart was literally broken in half when he passed away six months ago. We were inseparable for his 9 years of wonderful life. I know I will never be over his loss.
Do one for the Dalmatians 🥰
Realy helpful vidio after this is over I am getting a sphynx cat
My sphynx kitten loves to be washed with a soft toothbrush. I wonder if they have that brand food in the US
Next weekly my 2 boys are 1 year 😻😻 my best friends
What brands of cat food would you recommend for them
For someone watching thise rn, will it be okay for kids? Like That they go to school and everything so they don’t stay that much?
Maybe you should think about getting two cats. That way they won't be that lonely.
It would depend on how old the children are, and whether you have taught them to respect animals. Sphynx cats tend to be very attached to their humans and are generally not as independent as some other breeds. Whilst they are still cats (and nowhere as dependent as dogs), it wouldn't be good for a sphynx to be left alone without any company for hours on end.
As for getting two cats versus one, 2 cats = 2x the trouble and mischief that one cat can cause.
I’m cat sitting a Sphinx and she has what I believe are eat wax stuck to her neck where the collar goes. I’m assuming it’s a combo of ear wax, other oils and dirt. Regardless the spots won’t wipe off. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Stunning 🖤🖤
How much was she (if you dont mind me asking) and how often should you clean them is it every week or month or does it depend on the cat
Matthew Saunders she was £1000 - her parents were HCM scanned and clear and Fiv free. She was also vaccinated, wormed and chipped 😊 it depends on the sphynx cat! Astrid barely ever gets bathed as she’s just very clean whereas Floki (my other one) gets bathed every 2 weeks 😊
@@ravzn is it bad if they aren't screened for HCM?
her licking you like that is s nursing behaviour cats who were weaned too early nurse and knead
All sphynx cats do it and they leave their mother at 12 weeks which is later than most that is just how they show affection and by no means an indicator being taken too early though yes it could be in other cat breeds
Ours come from a breeder that doesn't allow the kittens to leave until they are 12 weeks. It has been very common occurrence amongst guardians of the kittens from this breeder to nurse or lick, even having been able to nurse as long as mom would allow.
Cats of all breeds tend to exhibit neoteny (retaining juvenile behaviours). It has nothing to do with whether they were weaned to early. Neoteny is a desired trait in animals we keep as pets as it makes them much cuter and more cuddly.
what breeder did you purchase your cat from?
Does she shed? My kids have really bad allergies but I would love to own one of these.
They don't shed fur but they're not hypoallergenic as they still have dander. Hopes this helps
If you have allergies you'll most likely still have issues. Some people are allergic to saliva and or the dander. They still create dander even though they're mostly hairless. Which is why they need baths.
Depending on how severe your kids allergy is idk if I'd get a cat. But when you say they have allergies are you just being general or have they had an official allergy test?
I myself have had allergy tests over the course of my life and am allergic to common pets like birds dogs and cats. As well as most things outside. However I'm more allergic to grass than I am to animals. I actually get hives from grass. So just depends on if you know what they're specifically allergic to and how bad it is.
Stacey Rogers what the others said - it depends if the allergy is to just hair alone or dander/saliva 😊
Merci pour cette vidéo, il est magnifique ❤❤❤
They are high maintenanace because they are regal by nature .Bread to be Egyptian pheroes companions!
The bald cats of that time period actually died off as a breed. Current day sphynx cat breed was created in the late 1900s
Can you take them on walks? With a lead and harness?
yes ! they love walks so much ! just keep the temperature in mind because they can overheat very easily and if it's chilly be sure your cat wears a sweater :))
@@alicia8005 For taking them on walks, shouldn't they need to be covered in some way from the sun due to the health issues it can cause? Or would a walk every now and then uncovered not hurt them?
I've seen on some sphynx forums they can use baby sunscreen
Where can I buy one of these beautiful cats at?
Please don't.
These cats don't have and whiskers and are therefore missing a huge part of their sensory organ
do you work and leave the cat alone or do you have two cats? :)
petterpanik we have two cats and two dogs - we do work but never out more than 5/6 hours. But having 2 is definitely better than 1!
Does anyone know what causes the black spots ghat some Sphynxes get
Where did you get your cat?
Damaris Freese from a breeder in Kent 😊
@@ravzn what breeder?
This Cat is so Cute. Lovley
What if you take them out side at night ?
never seen a black sphynx cat that's cool
I have 2 sphynx cat. They are wonderful animals. Dry food is good for cleaning their teeth
Our sphynx cats burry their food when they finish too ^-^ cute video
