Those...

    Sphynx kittens!

    Congratulations!!! I have a couple of questions: if they live say, in NH would they be cold? Would you have to keep a sweater on them? do they produce dander even though they have no fur? Would people with dander alergies be more alergic or less? Thank-You, Marlearn

    Best Eye Wipes?

    I use plain saline and the round cotton make up remover pads. I put a bunch in a round container, and add the saline, and they are ready to use and my cats don't mind them, and it works good.

    my kitty is pregnant

    My suggestion, read the ingredience labels, and stay away from corn meal, ground corn meal, and by products. I used to use nutro as well, and now use a mix of Chicken Soup For The Cat Lovers Soul, and Purina One, but do read the labels as some of the Purina has corn meal and by products. Keep...

I would definately have your cats spayed and neutered, once the...
