Re: My new Sphynx! (soon anyway)
I've always thought they felt like warm suede. The vet next door owns a blue/white one, and he's just marvelous(although he-the cat distains me petting him, but I do it anyway).
He's cool. I prefer a non-pure-color in my cats myself, but one day I want to have a sphynx myself. Once I'm down to a much smaller number of mammal pets that is.
Re: My new Sphynx! (soon anyway)
They are my favorites. I would love to have a calico. :) Congrats on the new baby!!
Re: My new Sphynx! (soon anyway)
Beck Beck I can not get over how adorable he is! Now stop it before I start looking for one:P What is a good think to look for in hairless cats? Im sure that there has to be things to look out for. Also how old is he? He looks big! I say his middle name be Whiskers
Re: My new Sphynx! (soon anyway)
I'm getting Baron from a wonderful breeder out of San Antonio. Her website is www.sphynx.nu. She only breeds once per year and screens every cat every year for HCM. I had been looking for a good quality sphynx for a long time, and found Rebekah through a rat-group friend of mine. Sphynx can be prone to HCM(hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) but just make sure to adopt a cat from a breeder who screens religiously for it every year. Also make sure the breeder is going by the breed standard and isn't popping out kittens willy nilly for the heck of it.
Re: My new Sphynx! (soon anyway)
I love him!
I really want one. They have such loving personalities, and really grow on you.
:]
His eyes are absolutely beautiful too.
Re: My new Sphynx! (soon anyway)
Thanks Jess! He seems to have already attached himself to me even though he's not living here yet. Followed me around watching me clean yesterday, helped with the ShopVac(isn't bothered at all by the loud box of suction on wheels), wondered why he couldn't help me wash the kitchen floor or the litter boxes(I'm working for the breeder on the weekends).
Afterwards, I had to molest him and the others with the camera. He sat in my arms later purring with his eyes closed. Big mooshy dork.

Re: My new Sphynx! (soon anyway)
Connie, you'd love her house then. Full of about 20+ nekkid kitties and one American Shorthair tabby girl(carries sphynx gene). One little girl thinks my earrings(and ears) are fun to bat and and BITE, LOL. I just like that they don't act like regular cats.
Re: My new Sphynx! (soon anyway)
Now if I was to ever get another cat that would be the kind I'd get. They are way too cute! Congrats on your kitty! Love the pictures!
