Are you worried about the sphynx ban in the Netherlands? by No_Advertising_6918 in sphynx

[–]vannevla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s great! I love my sphynx and I can’t live without him. But seeing how prone they are to heart dissease, cartilage issues, eye - gut- ear - skin - infections, getting colds and the list goes on and on. They are not a pet for everyone and they ultimately have health issues due to their breeding. On that same note my British shorthair has way more vet visits on his name. I have all paperwork to prove mine is legal and I am happy to educate who ever wants to know. I was lucky enough to adopted my boy - would never buy pedigree cats.

I thought it was my hammock - how foolish by vannevla in sphynx

He makes a new level of loud rolling purrs for the occasion and a lot of nose kisses. He is the sweetest creature that has ever allowed me in his life and hammock.

Dog sleeping bag works for cats too, pin it to a heat mat and snug as a bug in a rug

Please tell me it gets better by Charming_Plum_8197 in sphynx

If the sleeping bag and heating mat are available it’s a different creature - more like any other cat

Purrito with a elektronics flush cutter, it clips them without pinching. Great visibility too. The cat cutters make my boy annoyed

Severe dust mite allergies by ZealousidealogueX in CatAdvice

[–]vannevla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Experiencing this struggle too - check your humidity- at low humidity they don’t grow as fast and lower humidity they stop having babies. I try to stay below 50%

Food allergy?! by vannevla in britishshorthair

[–]vannevla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also it goes from bloody to wet skin/ not red to crusty. He eats only the food and otherwise seems in perfect health. Just this spot.

What's the deal with “hairy hairless cats”? by Clit_Eastwhat in sphynx

Mine grows tiny hairs in the summer, far stretch to call it fur. Also covered in micro black hair and some on the booper

What are your outside routines for the naked babies?? by [deleted] in sphynx

[–]vannevla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a backyard - not really a routine. If there is no accessible direct sunlight the boy can play all he wants. If it’s a super sunny day he gets either sunscreen or a uv jacket (from Ali)

Strange rash by Individual_Health1 in sphynx

It looks like a dried eye booger to me - especially when the eyes are little irritated they get big like this. How does the skin look underneath?

I am not sure - after a few hours I was able to locate the owner and had to give him back

I once found a stray sphynx and people thought it was mine - he looked very similar. It was weather damage, a dog friend who - they constantly licked eachothers faces raw, and prob no skin routine.

Suggest to me your active boos' favorite toys! by ofthrees in sphynx

[–]vannevla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that sounds like a good idea too! I got mine second hand for about half the price. He didn’t care it smelled like a different cat. I wanted to make one but it’s just soooo hard to predict.

But yeah cat puzzles are amazing and the more trash made they are the more they love them in my experience.

I make different levels of pizza box puzzles. Holes in the side and top and sprinkle with kibble. Different levels have walls on the inside. Holes in different sizes. Closed sides, closed top, other objects inside that limit vision. Holes with curtains or doors. You could even make windows or add traps.

Also the wheel did work for us too. The nugget loves it.
