I FINALLY got some decent pictures of the naked beast... Ripley, my hairless Sphynx kitten. She is now 14 weeks old and a whopping 2.5 pounds:

Incidentally, it has come to my attention today that I am turning into a Crazy Cat Lady at the ripe age of 26.

That's amazing. Nice! :)

Here're my kids, the first is my 5 year old female cat called Skye:

And then there's her brother, my 3 year old cat called Noah:

Your cat has some really amazing eyes, Chrono. They look almost human.

Marty Feldman jumps to mind.

Angra - I think I <3 you.


...


Noah - Your kitties are gorgeous. We should shave the orange one and make a fur coat for mine. It gets cold 'round here come winter.

Thanks ChronoGrl, I need to take her in for a trim eventually anyway. I think your cat could use the extra fur! ;)

I'm not gonna lie Chrono, your Cat reminds me of an old goosebumps episode with an evil, man eating cat-thing.

Your cats look like kittens Noah!

Here are mine. There's Cleo (Short for Cleocatra)

And Tigger

Tigger came from a rescue home and it's become apparent she...well, to put it bluntly, she's retarded. We reckon something happened in her past and now she's a very scared, very stupid cat. But I still love her. We've had Cleo since she's a kitten. We got her from a family friend. Infact, her mum came from the same litter as My older sister's two cats, and My brother's cat's mum, and my cousin's cat. So they're all related.

Thats me and my little girl Aimee. Found her on a construction site where I was working.She was 3 weeks old and sick.Anyway she is 4 now and still have her ofcourse.


http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/c...1197845033.jpg

Here are both my cats Aimee the white one is 4 and my little girl.The other I adopted at 6 months old.She was abused we believe petrofied of all people.Me and my girl have had for 18 months and the last 2 or 3 months we can finally lay down adn pet her.Just cant pick her up or try to pet her in certain parts of the apt,she gets nervous.Its a work in progress.

Very nice Ferret, though your 2nd cat Tigger's picture is really dark.... I love cats. Can't really stand dogs, unless they're well behaved and not up in my crotch all the time.

Noah (the brown/black kitty) was a kitten in the pics I posted up there. Skye was about 4 or so when I took those. :)

Awwww. Seems like we're all cat people round here then. (although I know MasMan has Harley)

ChronoGrl: I love your cat, I want one. Maybe one day I can convince my husband.


And my babies....

Rascal (this was before we had to take him to get his tail taken off, he just has a little bit of a tail now....)

Cheyenne....

Not a great picture, but it captures Rascal giving Cheyenne hell the first week we got him here...
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...0/PICT0027.jpg

That doesn't necessarily mean she has been abused. Pets get that way if they haven't been in much contact with humans since birth.

Good GOD you are so adorable. Even if you refuse to recognize feline GLORY that is my NAKED BEAST (but, ok, that Goosebumps reference did make me giggle).

P.S. Do you have retarded cat stories? I absolutely LOVE retarded cat stories.


That's funny. I only like dogs that are up your crotch all the time. :p



And, Jenna - Rascal rules. He is TOTALLY telling Cheyenne who's boss. As for getting a Sphynx cat, I can't even express how much I recommend this breed. I definitely have to note that they are high maintenance (they get dirty easily and I find that we're washing her more than once a week), have high metabolisms (so she eats a LOT which can be expensive, especially if you want to stick to premium cat food brands, which I recommend), and are really needy (she's especially a mamma's girl who was weened early, so she wakes me up most morning sucking on my neck). That being said, she LOVES people, is really friendly, and loves to cuddle. She'll follow you around, just enjoying being in the same room you're in. She's a ball of energy when awake and only likes to be pet on her terms, but she's absolutely charming. And from what I read about the breed, they are very good with children and other pets. I am now absolutely in love with this breed and might get another in the near future.

Then again, we've pretty much decided that when we move into a new place, we're getting a Pug (which I am VERY excited about).

Never knew that. I also assumed it and was told that by the lady who iadopted her from.She is missing like 2 or 3 nails in he front paw,so who knows.

The best one is short and sweet. She was chasing her tail (like all cats) but had been doing it a long time. Eventually, as she was moving along, she smashed her face into the wall. I thought she was in pain but fell about laughing when she started staggering around threw her dizziness and bump to the noggin!

Oh, and you know yawns are contagious? My sister yawned and across the room tigger did it.

There are many more.

Dante, your dog is absolutely gorgeous...really, everyone here has adorable pets. It makes me really jealous that I can't have pets in my apartment and that even if I could, the boyfriend is severely allergic to pets. But oh well, it's still nice to look at all of yours. :)

Heh thanks alot.The name is Jeremiah though.:D
My brother had that problem too,then he found out he could pay something and they would let him keep kibby.That sucks that your BF is alergic to pets though.

I could watch clumsy cat clips all day long...

bwahahahahahaha

...

Dante - A Husky and a Siamese? Two of my favorite pet breeds. They're absolutely gorgeous.

Edit: You don't like going by your Screen Name? I should know better by now. :o


...

Get a hairless one. :p

That's actually how we wound up with our little Sphynx kitten.

Yeah,that's my favorite breed of dog and cat.And thanks alot :D That's okay,you can either call me Dante or Jeremiah,that goes to everyone.Just saying my real name is Jeremiah.:)
I agree about getting a hairless pet,they don't shed.The BF should love one.





Or two.:p

He is sick now,he is losing so much weight...... has a thyroid issue- but he is the best cat I have ever had in my entire life.

Hullo Hullo.

Hahaha..Nice cat you have there ferret..Seems a little familiar. :)
Now lets see if I remember how to post a pic.

Well might pop in again in what...6months haha. Just couldn't resist posting some of the Phantom pics and 1 of dusk ( just cos he looks either evil or doesn't come up in pics)
I shall let my other half post the other cat haha..

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...o/DSCN1598.jpg
This is Keeda...She's 10.

Where do you get a hairless cat? I've never seen one in any of the pets store I frequent.

novakru - Love the pic. I really need a better camera. sigh.

Awwwwwwww... Lookit those eyes. I think I'm in love. :D

...

You'd really want to go through a breeder. Pet store purebreds can come with a sketchy health history... It's expensive (not gonna lie - we paid $1000), but they'll come with papers certifying that they are a purebred Sphynx (I've seen cross-bread Sphynx with furry cats and the result is either a Velour Sphynx, which is quite lovely, or a half-grizzly beast that has odd sprouts of hair - my hair dresser has one and it looks not unlike a half-turned gremlin) and a health guarantee (though our health guarantee is only 6 months, but it's fairly standard).

I went through Wilbur Street Paws:
http://www.pageweb.com/sphynx/

The website is kinda sketchy, but Shelley's really nice and her cats are beautiful.


I actually spent quite some time finding a relatively local breeder; most breeders were either midwest or west coast (I live outside Boston). We actually wound up driving 6 hours to Long Island to pick her up (she slept the whole way back curled up in a fleece blanket on my lap - too adorable).

I started here to browse for breeders by location:
http://www.kittysites.com/breeder_sphynx.shtml



Also, here's a particular breeder's site that I find really helpful and contains all kinds of Sphynx cat information including care, breeds, and kitty products:
http://www.freewebs.com/sleekatscattery/index.htm




Let me know if you have any more questions. I can prattle on and on and on... PM me and I can spare the rest of the thread-readers. ;)

She and I thank you, Chrono. ;)

illdojo: She's adorable. :) Great pics everyone.



He's tried.....and she lets him THINK he's boss sometimes, but we all know better....;) Rascal is very spirited, and a bit short tempered, and Cheyenne is the sweetest dog I have ever had, or been around, very well behaved, but also....a little goofy....:p I adore them both, really, I can't believe how badly they were treated by other people before we found them (Cheyenne is from a shelter, and Rascal was given to us by people that just didn't seem to give a damn if he lived or died apparently). They both have so much personality, and are so loveable.

Anyway, your kitty sounds wonderful. And since my hubby is allergic to cats, I guess that is the only way I will ever have a cat again.

Your Cleo reminds me of my Cleo.....She passed away years ago, unfortunately, but she was very similar in looks to your Cleo. But she was a tiny thing, such a sweet cat, I miss her.

Thanks sweetness, it's been a minute, nice to see you around the place. ;)

Thanks.....:D I never leave for too long, I am always lurking around....;)

Good to know. ;)

Here's a pic of my dog Duece and me.I'll post a pic of my cat later.

WOW!! :eek:


Been a year.

Don't you watch horror movies anymore? :mad:

Wow Spal, that is uncanny! Nice to see you around again, you gonna stay for a while? How's things been?

Fair warning about cat allergies, though (and this is for Chat Noir too)... A lot of people with allergies are allergic to the dander, not the hair itself, so there is the possibility that they could still be allergic to a hairless cat. My boyfriend's allergies act up from time to time.

HOWEVER:

Since its hairless, there's no shedding, so no dander sticking to hair hanging around your house. And, since it will get weekly baths, the dander won't have a chance to build up as much.

Another breed to look into is the Siberian: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_(cat)

Though I haven't tested the theory personally, they are said to be hypo-allergenic.

Can someone give me a tutorial on how to share pictures? I'm always happy to share pics of my girls.

Alright,you have your pictures saved to your computer right?
Create a photobucket account afterwards.After your done,load them all into photobucket.Then when they're all loaded,you copy and paste the IMG tags in your new post.Then,your done.:)

Thanks, Dante!

Anytime,can't wait to see your pets!:)
