      Please, please, please do not include breeders among the guests you bring on. There is no reason for anyone to breed animals for profit until the last homeless animal has a home. ADOPT DONT SHOP.

      ​@@dao8805 There is nothing wrong with reputable, sustainable breeders who treat their animals with respect and put effort into keeping their gene pools healthy. Not everybody is equipped to handle a rescue. You also don't always know what you are getting into with a rescue, you don't know if they have poor genes and will be sickly, this can lead to very expensive vet bills you may not be able to handle. You also have no idea what behavioral issues they may have due to trauma, bad breeding, etc. that you may not be equipped to handle. Let's not shame people for their decisions because you have no idea what their situation is.
      There will ALWAYS be homeless animals because cats and dogs are overpopulated and always will be, whether people breed or don't breed. That's not anything anybody can help breeders or no breeders. Domesticated animals were bred for thousands of years for a reason, especially working dog breeds. They have specific jobs and not all of those jobs can be done by just any dog. Different breeds of dogs and cats contribute to the genetic diversity of the species' as a whole. If breeders didn't exist the beautiful variety of dogs and cats we see today would be gone.
      If you're this fervently worried about things like this, next time you say "Aww I love beagles! they're so cute!" maybe think a little deeper as to what you just said and reassess your opinions. How do you think beagles became a thing? Without breeders, they wouldn't have.

    My sphinx always jumped into the shower with my husband for his bath every Sunday. After he hung out in the shower for a while, his nails were a lot easier to clean. Then after the bath, I would roll him up in a warm towel and just pull out one paw at a time. He was so happy to be cozy and warm, he would purr while I cleaned and clipped his nails and cleaned his ears. Trust me and try the cat towel burrito 🌯 🤣

    Because Sphinx cats don’t have fur or whiskers, they have balance issues and have a tendency to attempt to gain balance and assess spatial boundaries by leaning against different types of surfaces.

      @@CataBullR I know lots of people say weekly but I don’t recommend more than once or twice a month. The oils on their skin are there for a reason and too much bathing can cause skin problems. I suggest bathing their bodies in a bath then taking them out of the bath and cleaning their ears, nail beds and clipping their nails while you hold them in your lap while giving them treats and lots of praise. Trying to do all that at the bathing area is too stressful we can make it less stressful by breaking it up and doing the tasks separately. I have only two cats now and I only bathe mine once a month but it is true that some cats create more oils and may need a bath every two weeks.

      @@alliecat1658 HCM is the heart condition and no not all Sphynx cats have it, yes they are more susceptible to it, reputable breeders test their cats for HCM but unfortunately that only means that at the time of testing they did not have it. Unfortunately that doesn’t mean they won’t develop it or that the kittens they produce won’t get it at some point. However this does not mean that every Sphynx will develop HCM, being more susceptible for a disease does not mean all Sphynx cats have the disease. Whoever told you this knows nothing about disease susceptibility or Sphynx cats. To my knowledge none of my cats or their kittens has ever developed HCM. Yes it can still happen, it can happen to my two remaining cat who are 8 and 6 years old but possibility does not equal inevitably. Even if one of my cats did develop HCM I would never regret owning them and I would get another one as soon as I could because honestly there’s nothing like the love of a Sphynx.
      And they love furry animals lol. They like to cuddle up in the fur for warmth. It just depends on the personalities of the two cats and taking the time to introduce them slowly, there’s many articles about the proper way to introduce cats.

    As a sphynx owner (owned by a sphynx, lol) the best tip when bathing them is to have hot water, like lower regions of h*ll hot... lukewarm water makes my black nekkid girl flee. Hot water - she sits, plays and love it.
    And the black nail beds/ear gunk is not dirt, it's skin oil/wax. Most of the time I wipe them with a pet wipe, in between baths.
    They are the funniest, smartest monkey/parrot/cats there is, and they absolutely love cuddling under the blanket or duvet with their humans. ❤ I will never ever have another breed of cats than sphynxes, I absolutely love the peachy fuzzy warm little smart*ss*s. 😍😍

    I used a toddler's toothbrush to clean the nails/nailbeds of my Sphynx. Sometimes a chunk of sebum and dirt gets up underneath the nail and that can be painful. And you're so right about their ears. I would clean them one day, and the next they were dirty again. Same with the nails/beds. Sphynx require much more grooming than most people realize. I'm happy that mine would take a shower with me, so bathing was a snap. This boy was very handsome. (Jan Griffiths).

    It's probably not good for the grooming setup or the camera, but in my experience it's easier to trim nails if you have a cat on your lap. 😊 Hug them with their back to your belly and do one foot at a time. They can't back away, it doesn't twist their paws into a weird position, and you can distract them with head smooches or scritches or just generally have a better hold on them if they get annoyed.

      My ex gf's cat, a small but extremely smart calico named Daisy, knows a lot of commands. For example, "hungry" is the signal for dinnertime and she goes to the food bowl right away. When you say " Daisy jump", she immediately jumps to the top of her cat tree. When you say "Daisy NO" in a stern voice, she stops whatever naughty thing she has been doing and runs to her room. And she is the only cat I've ever seen that adores having baths - as soon as she hears the drawer where the pet shampoo is kept being opened, she makes a happy chirping noise and runs to the bathroom immediately. My ex gf and I used to joke she was half dog :)

The difference is that cats don't care what you think of them, aren't particularly motivated by praise, and thus cannot be bothered to do as they're told.

    Also, that is not necessarily dirt on them their body oil stays on their skin, their nails, their chins, and their ears, because there is no fur to absorb it and take it away from the body. it is the same amount of oil that regular cat would get and also contains shed dead red blood cells which are excreted through the skin and caused the brown color which is often called rust
    The brownish color you see on their ears and their feet is very much from this oil and the rust and maybe some dirt sticking to it, but it is natural and normal. You’re right in the fact that Cats even when bathe at the same time have different amounts of dirt it has more to do with genetics and what they’re being fed that is excreted as waste through not just their poop but also body oil. 6:23

He wasn't thrilled - but he didn't maul me.

    Vanessa: As the daughter of a Persian cat breeder, I have a tip for you when struggling to clip a cat's nails. If you tuck the backside of the cat under your arm/into your armpit while they're in your lap and then lean over them, you've got a good and secured cat and can much more easily do their nails without them thrashing around/trying to escape. It was painful watching what was happening with Mochi, where it looked like she was going to get a leg dislocated with her escape attempts.
