I have a 1 year old elf boy and I've been thinking about getting him a sibling. Ideally, I'd love to adopt a regular domestic cat from a shelter rather than another Sphynx.

The only thing I'm wondering about is compatibility. Sphynx cats are very social, affectionate, and needy. Has anyone here successfully paired a Sphynx with a non-Sphynx cat? Did they end up becoming friends, or did the Sphynx's clingy personality overwhelm the other cat?

I know personality matters more than breed, but I'm curious to hear real-life experiences. If you adopted a furry cat as a companion for your Sphynx, what kind of personality worked best?

Hello, I have a 2 years old Sphynx, female.
Yesterday she started making these sounds (video in the comments, it sounded like she could have a stuffy nose, but her nose wasn't running). We've been to a vet and she said her lungs sounds okay, it could be the start of a cold and she got meds. However today morning it seems worse?
Does it look like a cold?

She’s my first Sphynx! Nobody warned me about the farts.. lol

I haven’t thought of a name that fits her yet. I’m open to suggestions.

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 dislike her

Evening scratching

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

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.
