    Cats hating each other

    I am at the end of my tether as I have never had this problem before. I have a 5 year old resident male Sphynx (Caluga) and on 1 March my other 5 year old male Sphynx (Molly) died of HCM. Caluga seemed lonely, so after about a month I adopted an adult female 6 year old Sphynx (Soso). They are...

    New cat arrived.. need more advice..

    Hi all.. I posted a little while ago about transitioning my Caluga to raw as I was adopting an adult, raw fed cat. Well.. she arrived 2 nights ago and on a side note she is a little beauty. I had left the transitioning with Caluga until Soso's (new cat) arrival and I have been mixing in one...

    Adopting adult raw-fed cat.. would like both cats to be fed raw..

    I lost my darling male Sphynx - Molly - on 1 March due to HCM. I was heartbroken and swore I would never have another, but the remaining Sphynx - Caluga - seems to be lonely on his own, so I have caved in and am adopting a beautiful 6 year old retired Sphynx queen. She is a beauty, in fact she...

    Do cats grieve for mates that have passed on?

    My beautiful, handsome, precious boy Molly passed away yesterday evening in my bedroom. On Wednesday he was diagnosed with HCM and yesterday, Thursday, I found him dead, under my bed. I can't even begin to say how I feel.. so overwhelmed and so very sad. My other cat, Caluga has been acting...

    Annoyingly noisy cat

    I have 2 male Sphynx cats, both turning 5 this year. The one - Molly - is very laid-back and affectionate. The other - Caluga - while he is affectionate he is driving me CRAZY with incessant meowing. He does it in the hope I will give him food... I have to feed him the required amount slowly...

    Do your cats do this... mouth thingy?

    Hard to describe, but my cats often after having smelt something, seem to freeze and their mouths look as though they are stuck being open! They stay open like that for a good few seconds and it always makes me laugh Any thoughts why they do it?

    Am I doing something wrong?

    I have 2 male Sphynx boys.. both almost 4 years old. I feed them twice a day with a wet cat food and also twice a day with a dry food that they can nibble on over a period. I am feeding Royal Canin Fit 32.. not a great food but in South Africa it is the best of a bad bunch. They are constantly...

    Anyone constructed a cat tree?

    Does anyone have a plan or 'pattern' how to make a cat tree. I would love another one for my boys... I already have 2 bought trees, but I know a handyman who would be able to make one for them. Thanks.

    What is the difference...

    between play flighting and the real deal? I am finding it hard to distinguish one from the other.

    New cat has arrived... are things going OK???

    Never having introduced cats to one another, I would love to know your thoughts. I did have 2 Cornish Rex cats that lived together, but they were litter mates and grew up together. Well... Caluga (neutered Sphynx, 1 year old) arrived yesterday evening in his carrier. Because we live in a small...

    poop disposal

    After having read a couple of threads about scooping litter boxes I noticed that some of you scooped the poop into a bag to throw away in the usual manner. Seeing as how I have Molly's litter tray in the bathroom, I scoop with a slotted scoop, shake off all the bits of gravel and flush it down...

    Sphynx owners... question

    For all of you that have Sphynx cats... do you bath your cats each week? If so, how do they like it. Molly is 1 and a half years old now, and I have bathed him fairly regularly, although certainly not every week. We don't have a bath where we are living right now... only showers, so I have to...

    How many litter trays?

    Looks like we are going ahead and adopting a Sphynx to join our existing Sphynx boy I am so excited, but I think it will only be happening around mid-November. Oh well, good to be prepared! I currently have 1 litter tray available for Molly... do you think it is necessary to have 2 trays when...

    Introducing cats... how to go about it?

    I have a 1 and a half year old neutered, male Sphynx cat, and a 6 year old French Bulldog, who live with me in harmony. I have a friend who is looking to move to Australia and is wanting to rehome her 1 year old neutered, male Sphynx cat. I would love to take him as I feel that Molly (my Sphynx)...

    no more vaccines for us

    My 15 month old Sphynx, Molly, had his yearly vaccination on Monday. I have decided that this will be the last one he has. He is totally an indoor cat and always will be. He had such a horrible reaction to the vaccine. Since Monday he has not been his usual self at all. He seems depressed and...

    Cat STILL biting

    My neutered male Sphynx has just had his first birthday, and is STILL biting . I have corrected him by hissing in his face but it doesn't stop him at all. It doesn't really hurt when he bites, although he has teeth like needles, but it is really annoying. Also, he is constantly going up to our...

    Home Cooking?

    Does anyone home cook for their kitties? I free feed mine on Royal Canin (best of a bad bunch here in South Africa) and am currently feeding Whiskas pouch twice a day, which he loves, although I know it isn't great quality. Again, there is very little good quality stuff over here. Does anyone...

    Narrow escape..

    Gollum has a cat tree inside our apartment, and I have tied a little plastic ball with a bell inside to dangle off the side of one of the levels... on a piece of string. Earlier today I heard him screaming and went running to find that his tail (being Sphynx he has a hairless tail) had been...

    Indoor versus outdoor

    When I got my Sphynx kitten I signed a contract with the breeder to promise that he would remain an indoor cat ~ which he will. For starters we live in a terribly busy area and secondly he would burn in the sun. Before Gollum came along I had 2 Cornish Rex cats that lived to be 13 and 14 years...
