We love our Sphynx cats! Our eldest lived to be 20! We currently have an 18 year old. They are super intelligent and more like dogs. We keep our on a strict diet using Instinct dry and wet foods. We never feed anything for humans, ever. They drink filtered water with PetLab added for teeth health. They are the best cats for us! We love to spoil them!❤❤❤

[@TheCatButler]

That is awesome thanks for sharing! You are raising them right! 20 and 18 wow!

[@misfit1395]

You sound like a wonderful fur parent ❤

[@ApophisD]

Hey, we just got our second one too, and he ist a big fun of bathing. Do you have any tips how to reduce oil residues on his belly? Is one bath in a week enough? Thank yoi

[@ThePieFairy91]

I found that Instinct has really gone downhill in quality over the past two years or so. I had my cats on it for YEARS and they suddenly decided it was the ick. Some bags looked and smelled different or were mostly crumbs/air. Reading reviews found it wasn't just me! It started happening at the same time my dogs food also went down in quality. His had specifically smaller kibble for seniors with few/no teeth, but I would find these random bits of kibble from other food formulas. Now I'm trying stuff from countries with higher pet food standards.

[@djsmith7720]

I've owned four different breeds of cats, and the Sphynx is the BEST!! If you can afford the price, they are worth it! We had two. One was beautiful, and the other one was smart! Both were very vocal and affectionate. Super snugglers.

[@valeriyat.4771]

Loved it! Thank you for featuring us 💜 I hope this video opens up people’s hearts to hairless cats!! They’re wonderful 😊

[@TheCatButler]

As a Sphynx owner, the line about staining furniture made me laugh out loud Furniture, clothing, anything really, we have a white faux-leather couch that for a long time looked like someone had taken a huge dump on and stained it, but it was just our cat laying there for a while

[@TheCatButler]

Hahah

[@RyanFox85]

I litrerally wake up with "chocolate coloured starfish" and brown wrinkles all over my jammies because my sphinx is apparently dirty allllll the time lol, and is never not cuddling with me (unless hes eating or using the potty) Hes a stage 5 clinger that leaves me covered in Rorschach paintings. And i wouldnt have it any other way

[@BabsFan-lw1yh]

Aw, I loved this video! Highly informative. I’ve always wanted a sphynx, but I’m not sure when I’ll be able to afford one. I’ll just live vicariously through videos like this for now!

[@taraevans1108]

We have had two. Both were retired breeders which were a third of the price. If you really want one, find some breeders near you and let them know you are available if they ever have to rehome one.

[@johnproctor68]

Got mine off of Craigslist for $20.

[@chloeolivia44]

I’m Sphynx parent too, definitely agree with how they are better with a companion. I had my girl first and she was so playful she was forever chasing my feet. I brought home her brother a year later (same parents, different litter). It didn’t take them long to get on and now the play together and I don’t have my feet attacked anymore. They are so loving and make great family pets.

[@catto8331]

I ain’t gon lie, in some scenes, it lookin like it has a devious idea

[@azolivas]

We got our first Sphynx in 2021 and immediately fell in love. We decided to get another one two years later and wish we had done it sooner! Now our old lady Luna has a younger sibling to play with!

Thank you for your very informative video. All interesting for comparing various cat breeds. We had a Persian cat and she was beautiful. When she passed away, she was nearly 21 yo. We now have a Bengal kitten who's is 6 months of age. All my cats have distinct personalities.

[@TheCatButler]

Tony I am sorry for your loss! Persians was always one of my favorite breeds. And congrats on your new bengal! They are a fun breed as well :)

Sphinx cat are so cute, probably gonna get two later that year. Don´t want a single cat, I think two are better than one so they both always have someone.

[@WisdomoftheSphynx]

[@DeivMustein100real]

My dream cat is definitely a Sphynx. I have a hairy cat, and yeah, I love him, but I still prefer Sphynx. They're the best

[@jodipearson567]

I’ve wanted a Sphynx cat for four years now, but I’ve been in a chain of rental properties which prohibit pets. It’s really sad because I think they are perfect to help with my chronic anxiety/disability. We’re hoping to move next year so maybe it will finally be time. I can’t wait to meet you, little Pesca (yes, I decided a name already)

[@idontknow1302]

Aww, I wish you the best and that you two finally meet one day! I've also got a kitty waiting for me somewhere in the future (maybe even a dog, that would be amazing)

[@raphaelhatami5933]

register the pet as an Emotional Support Animal (ESA). At least in America landlords cannot legally deny an ESA

[@likithquiz6042]

Hi cat butler, Your videos are amazing not only for ragdoll cats but other cats breeds. Thank you for making my life easier with a ragdoll cat!

[@TheCatButler]

Thank you for your kind words! More breed interview videos are coming. I wish you and your Ragdoll the best :)

[@heatherboardman7004]

Beautiful. I have had two. Alas both had HCM and died early. Still miss them.

[@TheCatButler]

[@cashmeremonroe7715]

Great video. Made me a Sphinx Fan too❤

[@TheCatButler]

Thank you Cashmere!

[@rowanwise406]

I just got a Sphinx cat. We name him Dobby. He loves to cuddle and be with us, but he has a little mischievous streak as well. They seem to be very talkative as well. I don't know why we waited so long to get a Sphinx. He is a lot of fun and we love him very much! He is definitely worth the extra grooming we have to do.

[@taraevans1108]

For those interested in the breed but can't afford a kitten, consider a rehomed adult. They can be a third of the cost if not lower. We have had two retired breeders and they were super wonderful! Contact some breeders near you and let them know to contact you if they ever need to rehome a cat.

Wow thx this was soooo helpful I’m gonna get a sphinx cat thx 🙏🏽

[@_CAT-lg4sr]

Reminds me of ET in the movie "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" Maybe these aren't cats at all, but are morphed "ET's" put here to study us humans and our behavior. Indeed, these types of cats are a very special breed and it takes a dedicated owner to enjoy and care for them, but it looks like they return the favor and are affectionate. I think I'll stick with my 16lb Chartreux, "Sammy". He's a calm, easy traveler in the car & motorhome and follows me everywhere. I do have to brush him every month or so though, as shedding can sometimes get out of hand, especially in the springtime, but he enjoys it. I just have to watch him when we're outside so that he doesn't "go after" the squirrels, rabbits and birds. He is a mighty hunter and I have to keep an eye on him in that respect. We do not have any mice or rats on our 5 ac. property though. Believe it or not, he is "whistle trained" and will stop and come to me after a quick, light double "tweet-tweet" of the sports whistle when we're in the yard. (he knows there's a treat for him, a dried sardine) I just love him so much! Cats are such interesting "pets". I say that in quotes because sometimes it feels like I'm the one being trained by my cat and he sees me as HIS pet!

[@HeidiSmithINKED]

Their link is broken 😢 I’m a Sphynx mom and was amused to see that some of his little habits are similar although I have to say the sucking on the nipple thing really made me laugh. That’s a first I’ve seen Ezy looks a lot like my Bane.

[@HelloOki]

My sphynx kitten is yowling NON STOP unless he is held and cuddled. Will this torture ever end :(

[@tidalren7760]

The more more you bath them the more oilier they become. Mine has never showered since I got him over a year ago and I wipe him twice a week with 100% waterbase and parfumless as he's never oily nor stain on any of my fabrics. His ears are perfectly clean and I just wipe on the outer sides of his ear flap only. The vet doesn't reccomend bathing either.

[@johnproctor68]

I don’t believe you own one

[@tidalren7760]

@@johnproctor68 No I don't own one but two for some years now 😂

Hi I would say that most cats would not scratch and bite you if you have a good relationship with them. But they can scratch your furniture or bite others. Hope that helps! But most of the time no.

You mean like hamsters?

[@lumpkinsss3272]

@@TheCatButler yeah or like really small dogs

[@TheCatButler]

They may for hamsters not dogs

[@nightperson1012]

Pretty much any cat will hurt smaller animals. They hunt, both for food and for fun, and they need to be kept away from both smaller pets and creatures outside. Especially don't have cats ANYWHERE near reptiles because cat saliva is toxic to reptiles and amphibians. So even being in contact with the cat's recently-licked fur could be deadly.

I mean they are hypoallergenic since "hypo" means less than normal.
