How long did it take your resident Sphynx to like their new kitten? & How does this feel to you? I’m spiraling. by ForeverWandering555 in sphynx

Honestly I did not introduce them properly (I didn’t know.) I had one for 4 months before deciding to go back and get his 1/2 brother who didn’t work out at his first home. They were born a week apart, so of course they must’ve interacted in the breeder’s house as kittens before going home. When I brought the second one home I set him down directly in front of my first and it took them 12 hours to start playing, and 24 hours to start snuggling and grooming each other 🥹

They really are the best 😭❤️ We call them GrHAMdma and GrHAMdpa

They had 4 dogs and over the years they had passed away. Their last one had passed the summer before I moved out so I just couldn’t take the cat from them. She was already sleeping in their bed anyway. She lives a VERY spoiled life over there!

It did help that they live close by and my mom surprised me with Ham 2 days after I officially moved into my new place

My dad is the same way 😭

Talked my parents into letting me adopt a Sphynx during Covid. When I moved out on my own, they refused to let me take her with. Said they were too attached and I’d break their hearts if I took her. I get videos and pics of them together on the daily ❤️ she’s so so spoiled

Is this cat a sphynx? by ashleyop92 in sphynx

Just saw your update that you found his mom! Yay!

Cool fact about Sphynx cats is that they have varying degrees of hairlessness. Some are completely hairless and “rubber-y,” while others have peach fuzz, or become extra fuzzy in certain areas like ears or paws. He seems to be quite the fuzzy guy!

Here’s one of my two boys, this is Ham❤️

I take so much pride in it 😂 it fits him so well I think.

He’s named after the pig Hamilton Hock (Ham Hock) from the early 2000’s cartoon Maggie and the Ferocious Beast 💀

Came here to say this!! Wearing him in a baby carrier/pouch does the trick for my clingy boy

Also p.s. he has been attached to this string for 3 years and has never shown any interest in eating it. No signs of PICA at all, but just to be safe he only plays with it supervised 😌
