Hey,
it's been a long while but I finally got a sphynx! She just kinda fell into my lap in a strange occurence of events but she is perfect except for a few things I want your advice with.
1. She is sweet as pie when we are alone with her and she isn't mingling aka harassing the other cats but when she is out with the three other ones (all 9 yrs and spayed and neutered) she bothers them some bad. Chasing them up and down the hallway & bedrooms - I worry she will give them a complex and cause them to feel like they lost their spots in the 'cat kingdom' in this house... Am I being overly worried?
2. Here breeder suggested I feed her Origen cat food with some Iams hairball sprinkled in. But her poo varies from being firm to firm/loose then to loose. She has been tested for parasites and it came back negative but this stool habits has been happening for awhile. Also, she wipes her butt on my carpet afterwards which is horrific and messy... Is this a normal sphynx thing? What can I do to pervent this? I have tried catching after a #2 and wiping her bum BUT I can't always be there.
3. When she itches her neck with her back legs she scratches herself badly EVEN after I trim them. What can I do? I mean she looks like an axe murder tried to get her!
Soft paw her back legs?
I'll post some pics soon
