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
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.

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

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:

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:

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. ;)

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.

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.
