She is adorable but I still protest the breeding of animals for appearance alone.

[@Windmelodie]

Thank you for the correction! I always get a little concerned with people getting kittens under the age of 8 weeks, as it is still too young to remove them from their mothers/siblings and often leads to issues with socialisation!

Things to consider befor getting a hairless cat: they do not only need a lot of help with their hygene, and need sun protection. They also need help keeping warm, means you need to train them accepting cloths so you can have them not freeze, when traveling with them at the very least. In addition they are on the more active and social side of the cat spectrum needing a lot of attention and preferably at least one other cat to keep them occupied. They also need to get their nails clippey routinely to not hurt themselves or each other when playing, as they have no protective fur to prevent scratches. In addition consider the cat breed you pick. The Sphinx inherits the hairlessness on a recessive gene and has because of that severe inbreeding issues, they are often born with glass bones, an athrophic muscle condition, HCM or congenital heart defects. Breeds like the Donskoy or Peterbald inherites the hairlessness as a dominant trait, and while they often get a thin fur coat in winter, and are thus not completely bald all year through, they also inheret less genetic defects, and are not known to have issues with any genetic deseases caused by excessive inbreeding, like the Sphinx does. Additionally: not all countries allow the breeding or sale of hairless cats, as they ban to breed cats that have genes that negatively affect the cats health, and some countries declared hairlessness as such a negative effect.

My cat started to have those coughing fits, which I solved by having little desk HEPA air filters near where she laid & worked on decreasing dust mites. This also meant whole room/home HEPA filters, changing bedding & wooden surfaces to bamboo &/or polyester where I could, washing/vacuuming often with a HEPA filter & hot water.

The gunk I have to dig out from there while my lil gremlin cries like im doing the worst thing in the world (while at the same time sitting fine for it). I was not prepared for how dirty the water would get lol. I go through Q tips like no tomorrow. NO REGRETS THO, she keeps me on my toes and brings me so much love...even if she does knock pictures off of my wall if shes bored X_X

[@Memow-pk1ng]

Normal hairy cats also get that GUNK, gotta be cleaned out.

[@HUYI1]

As long as you can handle the responsibility you are doing ok 😊

[@catsandcrafts171]

I wait til mine's asleep on my lap, under a snuggly blanket of course, and then I gently scrape the gunk off with my thumbnail. I'm very careful to never touch her cuticle, and she doesn't even notice. I clip her nails at the same time. it's so easy with her, she's a deep sleeper and I take advantage of it! :) xxx

I have a Sphynx cat named Igor who absolutely hates his baths. Even after 14 years, every bath is like the first time. Even tho he is so high maintenance, I still wouldn’t change a thing. He is the most amazing, intelligent and charismatic cat I have ever lived with.

That was an unreal amount of gunk and wax that came out of her ears hahaha holy cow! What a precious lil baby though. I've grown to love sphinx cats over the years.. I used to think they were ugly but they're the sweetest things!

[@tarastreasure]

My mom still thinks they are ugly 🙄 and is 'scared' of them. Even if she's seen only pictures. 😂 I try so hard to convince her otherwise. I got to hold one, met her in a place I didn't expect at all, and I was extremely thrilled. The surprise added to the wow factor. 😍

[@hannajung7512]

I would honestly avoid Sphinx and go for Donskoy. The difference is in how the hairlessness is inhereted, causing the Donskoy to have way less health problems and no risk of being born with glass bones. Another difference is, that the Donskoy gets a thin hair coat in winter, that is shed when it gets warmer again.

[@ndawn90]

​@@hannajung7512Not always true. Some Donskoys grow fur, sometimes it sheds and sometimes it doesn't. Their fur pattern can vary widely and can change until they reach adulthood.

So stinking cute! I think her name is Welsh for ‘beloved’ which really suits her ❤

[@Ycekhold]

Welsh, Irish, and Polish are 3 languages that have something interesting in common. Knowing how to spell a name or a word, and knowing how to pronounce a name or word, are two VERY DIFFERENT things. Knowing how to do either one is of no help at all when doing the other.

[@astrinymris9953]

I Googled, and apparently there is some dispute over what the name means. My resource said it meant "my fine rare one", so that's what I'm going with. It's also the first result on Google, so it at least a contender for the correct meaning. 😉

i think the lack of furr might allow for louder purrs than a normal cat because they dont have all that furr absorbing the vibrations! i have 3 sphinxes and their purrs sound louder than my "normal" cat and the previous ones ive owned, this should be looked into...

[@emilyal-zeibak7862]

Aww her purring ❤ What an absolute sweetheart! Very happy to hear her beautiful name Myfanwy - it roughly translates as beloved or my lovely little one. A very popular traditional welsh name 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😊 My work colleague used to breed and show hairless siamese cats and she has 6 of them at home. I had never come across them before and they are the friendliest and sweetest cats I have ever met. Having 6 of them purring and cuddling up to you is like having several hot water bottles on you and is so comforting and relaxing. Their skin is like velvet and really soft to stroke. A really beautiful breed and such wonderful personalities! I am not a huge cat person but I adore her cats 😊

Oh my gosh! Some friends have 2! The adults in the house have cat allergies but with the routine bathing they do well with their girls. They realized they are more "cat people" than "dog people" after vacationing. They are very sweet kitties. I love her tail and unibrow hairs. So ready for a nap after the big bath day. I love your timing with removing her from the wash tub. Great positive reinforcement. She wasn't trying to get out abs realized it was safe. Boom, out you go. Her wrinkles are a great example of what you were talking about with the matted kitty that had escaped and was found. We can't see these wrinkles because of the fur. All cats have them for maneuverability.

[@Magpiebard]

If they have a ton of problems with the allergies still, tell them about Allerpet. Both my husband and I have pet allergies (I got just the cat - he got the double whammy of cats AND dogs, poor guy) and Allerpet (and so I don't sound like an infomercial, I have no connection to the product or company. Wish I was, that has to be some SERIOUS money the company rakes in!) has saved us a ton of problems since we have been married (17 years) we've never had less than 3 cats. (Lord help us, we had 7 at one time when we took in my inlaws cats too. I apparently can be suckered into anything that involves little furballs.) We still take an over the counter allergy med but the allerpet takes care of the rest for us (might not work for your friends, but it might be worth the little boost of help for them) and is really easy to just put on a cloth and give them a good rubdown. I've worked in animal shelters even and the main 'pet' shelter (I've also worked in wild animal shelters but this isn't for them, not sure how an owl or a bearcub would react to being rubbed with it and since I rather enjoy have a face, I never gave it a whirl) used it constantly. Best part of that job were getting the cats set up with the stuff (lots of petting and cuddles) and it also helped socialize them and get them calm around humans. And while I do still like dogs and grew up with really large ones.. cats rule every time. Your friends came to the right conclusion in what kinda folks they wanna be! lol

[@saintejeannedarc9460]

It really depends on the cat. I had a long haired black cat, kind of tuxedo, w/ the white bib, paws and moustach. Everyone thought she was so pretty, because she had the sweetest face w/ big round eyes, like a China doll. She was grumpy as heck w/ strangers though. Very much a one owner cat and an introvert. She was super cuddly w/ me, and would growl at pretty much anyone that tried to come near her, as she had no use for attention, even from those that came regularly. Took her over a year to get used to my ex and get attached to him.

[@littlecatfeet9064]

[@bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb-]

Something to think about doing when bathing cats is to put a towel, cloth, or a textured bath mat (like a shower mat but more textured for claw grasping) on the bottom of the bath, so they can grasp hold of the wet cloth or anti-slip mat with their claws. The reason why they're freaking out during the bath is they don't feel secure enough to stand in the bath without slipping. So, their immediate instinct is to jump out of the bath onto a more secure material. Then they feel like they have a better handle on standing, escaping, or hiding on the floor material outside of the bath than in the bath itself. Adding cloth to the bottom of the bath receptacle allows them to grasp hold onto something while in the bathwater, so they don't automatically feel that "I'm going to slip at any moment" feeling that everyone feels in a bathtub that doesn't have a anti-slip mat. Except humans know what's going on, cats really don't and just want to escape the insecure place. When they feel secure, they feel more in control their environment instead of slipping all over the place willy nilly. When I found out about such a simple fix, after my cats had passed away; I was so sad that they were never able to feel secure during bathtime. Though I can always let other people know so their cats can feel more secure during bathtime. The same can be said about carry cats as well. Cats want their feet on the ground, whether that ground is on a person's arm, on a lap, a shoulder, a ledge, a shelf, or a cat tree. Always carry them with your hands under their feet, when you lift them up to place them in another location. That's why they have their claws and legs extended at full range, since they're trying to find secure ground, when they're picked up like you did around 4:40, no matter how high they are, solid footing is always a good thing.
