My sphynx doesnt get "sticky".. the last time I bathed her was right before her spay, which was a little over 2 weeks ago. Im told that most need a bath about once a week. Each individual has different needs tho.

She does need her eyes and ears cleaned out often tho.. they get very dirty, expecially her ears!

My husband is still unsure about the Sphynx, but he is onboard with me getting one. He said he just doesnt quite get the attraction I have for them


I am counting down hours until I meet with the breeder...come on already Saturday!!!!!!!!

Tell your hubby that the sphynx is really just another "type" of cat but MUCH nicer
Tell him that there is more to them than meets the eye...they will love him just as much they love you and he'll fall for the kitten you choose. Their personality will win him over in minutes!

I am absolutely obsessed with having one of these cats


I have sat looking at sweaters and other things he/she might need LOL

The hubby says I am spoiled so I think my pets should be as well

Thanks,
I love the color of your sphynx skewch.
I saw the sphynx Anita might get and he is cute also.
All the sphynx are on that breeders site.

I think all Sphynx are gorgeous and unique in their own way. I guess you could say I have a soft spot now for them, and I love them.

Jacky, your Cleo is so beautiful with her such dark skin with white. And yes, my shirts came from Petsmart also. I have several others I'm waiting for them to grow into.

I got her a white dress but it does not look good on her.
I think she looks good in pink and reds.
What else have you bought your girls?
Clothes I bought her 2 weeks agi no longer fit her.

They get oily and need to get baths.
They are very friendly and hyper.
Can you pm me the breeders websites.
I am in some sphynx groups and know alot of breeders over there.
The price is lower then what I paid for Cleo but sounds ok.

You want bright colors on her - royal blue and emerald green would look good too as well as the hot pink.

Might want to get some hot pink material for cage curtains
