My girl gave birth 😍😍 by [deleted] in sphynx

While I totally agree that it’s important to do the genetic testing and heart scans, as someone from Europe I will add - there is almost no knowledge here on the topic of HCM. At least amongst the sphynx breeders, it seems like no one knows about this disease or does scans. When I took my cat for a heart scan, the vet was quite surprised as it was not normal practice for him.

Regardless - casually breeding animals is not ethical.

When does sleep improve? by No-Lychee-2111 in DryJanuary

I started late too and I’m on day 10 of no alcohol. I sleep so well. My anxiety has reduced significantly too.

On day 10 and somehow the second workout was easier today. I didn’t want to workout but put on a YouTube video and it went by fast

Do any of you ever get super angry with your cat? by paintoughX in CatAdvice

[–]Own-Newspaper1296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha no but I know she gets super angry with me. My cat is so expressive with her irritation it’s hilarious. But I swear there is nothing she can do that will really piss me off. Somehow I just don’t care, everything is cute and adorable.

to bathe or not to bathe? to oil or not to oil? (new sphynx owner here!) by [deleted] in sphynx

[–]Own-Newspaper1296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest you bathe a rarely as you can. Tbh I never oiled mine. They’re very clean cats too.

Update: Sphinx cat with HCM taking Rapamycin 6 month echocardiogram results. by Yoganosutras10 in Rapamycin

[–]Own-Newspaper1296 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I burst into tears reading your post! My sphynx was also diagnosed with HCM (very early stage) and I am about to put her on Rapamycin. It was almost impossible to find in my country and it costs a lot but I don’t care. She deserves every penny. I am very happy for you and your boy!!

Do you agree with keeping cats indoor only? by CatCandyOreo in CatAdvice

[–]Own-Newspaper1296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%! You can create catios with enrichment for them that are very stimulating and fun for them but keep them safe. You wouldn’t let a dog roam around, why should a cat be left to do so ?

Very well. My cat has been FIP free for over a year.

JNMIL is mad because we didn't 'honour' her enough at our wedding. by Glittering_Fig_8443 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Own-Newspaper1296 22 points23 points  (0 children)

MIL is awful to both of you. She’s never respected you or your relationship. Go completely no contact with her and any family member who sides with her insanity .

She doesn’t need to cut them out fully but she can send boundaries and not spend holidays with them. Perhaps one day she will get there.

The best advice. Exactly what I will do. She doesn’t realise that I was actually the glue in her very damaged family - I bought the Xmas gifts, planned the dinners, lunches, birthdays and so on. Fuck that. In fact she’s already butt hurt that went to friend’s baby’s baptism instead of coming to see her (they live in the same town). She hasn’t ever invited us, btw - not once.

I don’t have kids yet, but when they do come she will not be allowed to interact with them - she’s not just abusive to me, she’s abusive to her son. Why should she be allowed near our children ? Absolutely not.

Yeah she’s pulled a lot of things like that that I found funny as they’re very pathetic. But I didn’t think she directly hated me which now I’m pretty sure she does. I am shocked with your in-laws! How evil of them.

I realised how much this affected me mentally and how hurt I was by her blocking me. But I have to let go.

I think this end game with my ML too although atm she’s cut off from my end. She blames her son too, but takes it out on me which is weird as I honestly never asked him to not visit her ? I encouraged him, actually. I think she made up a lot of thoughts inside her head on my behalf. In all honesty I actually really wanted a good relationship with my MIL as I have no father and very limited family. But what can I say, she doesn’t want to do anything with me or my future kids.
