As much of a cat lover as I am, I never had an attraction to this breed. Sorry, Chrono! But, congrats on your new baby! I'm glad she's out from under the bed - I was going to tell you you just have to have patience when you first bring them home and let them get used to their surroundings.

No apologies - Most people are slightly repulsed by the breed. We choose a Sphynx because the boyfriend is allergic... And even if his problem is the dander, the Sphynx cat requires weekly bathings, so that should alleviate the allergic reaction... Hopefully. And if I have questions, I'll definitely drop you a line. :)

I wasn't sure that I'd like the breed either, but she has the sweetest disposition...

I actually brought her to the Vet today and the Vet was thrilled. She was like, "First time I've seen one of these! Mind if I bring her around?" So she carried little Ripley around the office to show her off... She's the cutest thing; she keeps attacking my laptop because of the clicking of the keyboard.



You just can't resist, can you? ;)

...

I finally got some pictures of her awake. There's still a little blurry, but at least you can see those beautiful baby blues:
