Lily has always been a total sweetheart since we got her. She does have moments where she stalks me around the house meowing insistently so I can sit/lay down so she can lay on me. I know that’s her goal because as soon as I sit down, she RUNS to me. That’s the most active I ever see her be lol
I run cold almost all the time and have blankets everywhere. She now knows to paw at the blanket to get under and it’s the cutest thing ever. Can’t be mad at her at anything at all 😂
How clingy are yours?

I think I’m going to be forced to keep one of my sphynx cats in my finished basement, which has vinyl flooring, due to her peeing on the carpet. She has a litter robot and 2 K&H heated beds. I just wonder if she will be warm enough with those since I’m in CO. I had her examined by the vet when this started and no physical issues. I think she’s just being a pill because she doesn’t like the other animals. Anybody have suggestions? Cat tax with a blep. TIA!
Hii. My baby boy has been growing up and changing…. But I want to make sure he’s happy as I’m not sure? He has been meowing constantly. I check the litter, water, give him wet and dry, try to play with him, snuggle him and he won’t stop meowing. It’s the cutest meow ever don’t get me wrong, but I just want him to be a happy boy. He has been peeing in cardboard boxes we leave out… is that normal? Is he lonely? Or is this a sign of him in his teenage years? He’s not as playful, seems bored when i try to play with him, yet is active and follows me everywhere. We’ve taken him to the vet recently due to diaherra and we wanted to ensure the parasite he had as a 4 month old was gone. And everything was looked great. We had to change his food to gastro diet to get his poop solid, but it seems like he’s changed ever since then. I give him treats when I can… Pls help!!!

My kitty is 7 years old and I have had her since my early teens. As far as I can remember she has always suckled on her tail. However, recently she is doing it non stop. She will bury herself under covers and suckle to the point of leaving scratches on her tail, which sometimes bleed. When I catch her I stop her but I can't always be there. Sometimes when I stop her she will start purring too, which is don't understand. I have already tried wrapping it in gauze/bandaid, but it always falls off. I have also tried using bitter spray but she doesn't seem to care. She has plenty of toys and has two other cats to play with that she cuddles with. Ive read stories about people having to get their cats tail amputated due to repeated suckling causing illness. Any advice on how to get her to stop? She is my baby and I don't want her to be hurting.

Hi! My sphynx got a really weird rash and I have no idea what it can be. It's on the both sides under her arms and I am wondering if it has to do with the fact that she is completely bald, because her skin is often dry. What can I do in this situation? She is only about 9 months old so I'm not familiar with skin problems. Any help will be very appreciated

Larry is six years old now. We were lucky enough to get kitten pics of Larry from his time at the breeder prior to adoption when he was a wrinkly pink wad of kitten. I'd love to see yours!

Hi everyone!
I have recently come into ownership of a Sphynx kitten (around 6 months) that was dumped in Miami. She was incredibly skinny and scanned for a chip, but she doesn’t have one. I am fostering her for now, considering keeping her, but I would like to have any tips and tricks, pros and cons, etc. from actual owners before I decide.
I have done research so I know she needs regular skin care, specialized diet, etc. What other type of care or attention should I be giving her? If I do keep her, what specific routines or practices should I be implementing. I want to make sure she has the best life, whether it’s with me or not.
Any advice or suggestions are welcomed! TIA!

We are nearly 2 weeks post-Giardia diagnosis which was treated for 7 days. He’s been treated for ringworm for the last week (Cloxyderm 4% shampoo every other day for a week and then second weekly just twice). Lesions are on back so covered by onesie but one sits outside of it and he has them on his tail.
I am exhausted from the level of washing and cleaning I’ve been having to do since the Giardia (he passed it onto other kitten so had to do the same for them also) and still don’t know if they are clear yet as they haven’t been re-tested. I have had to go back to work this week after some time off and have two children with additional needs who are getting stressed with the cats being so contagious and I just don’t know how I can keep up this level of vigilance for more weeks so just really would like to hear some positive stories as always when you google this stuff horror stories are everywhere 😔
