We are in the middle of a kitchen renovation and Bee found a piece of trash and decided it was his new favorite thing.

When I first got them it was once every two weeks. Then I noticed they’d get greasy more often than that so I started bathing weekly.

Now it feels like they need a bath every other day.

A day or two after a bath, there is orange stains all over my bed, when I put them my hands feel dirty.

I don’t know what to do.

If you are looking for HCM clinics and info on getting your Sphynx an echo join this Facebook group.

If your cat needs an HCM heart scan by a BOARD CERTIFIED CARDIOLOGIST now is your time to sign up. We have 2 spots available for the clinic in Scottsdale Arizona. This is an exam with an emailed report. Friday October 30th. The spots are at 9:30am and 10am. Please message me immediately if you would like this spot so I can get your information. This is a rare opportunity as most clinics fill up quickly. So if you have a Sphynx, Maine Coon, Bengal, Ragdoll, Persian cat you need these scans yearly!

Just curious if anyone has taken their cat across the border to get an echocardiogram. I’d like to hear your experience if you walked/drove, what is needed to cross with your pet, how long it took, vet recommendations, etc. I appreciate any insight!

If you are in the Phoenix area there will be a HCM clinic this Friday 10/30 at MedVet in Phoenix. Echos will be conducted by Board Certified Cardiologist is Dr. Gorgi. Cost is $435/cat. Email Kimy_kantalope@yahoo.com for more info or to schedule your time slot.

Help why is she so weird 👽

Had these two just under two months, and my life is now dominated by two noisy, clingy, utterly chaotic gremlins ... Love it!

The pink sweater was supposed to soften my image. Clearly, it didn’t.

I'm absolutely smitten with hairless dog breeds but while we were out this weekend I met a lady breeding sphynxes and fell in love with this kitten! After doing some research I see that these cats are notorious for developing major heart problems. The person breeding them seems to be new to cats and mostly breeds french bulldogs but seemed like she knew what she was talking about so I want to hear opinions from actual owners.

1. These cats need yearly echo cardiograms to monitor heart health and seem to develop this condition around the 1-3 mark. Are we safe after we pass this mark or could she still get diagnosed with HCM at an older age? Are these cats able to make it into their senior years?

2. There's a supplement you can buy that supposedly helps with heart health. How do you feel about Ubiquinol and how do you go about supplementing your cats?

3. What other measures can be taken to prevent this condition?

4. What do you bathe your cat with? Theres a lot of shampoos that seem to be specifically aimed at this breed. Will any type of hypo work?

Were not completely new to cats. We have a couple already and my boys becoming an old man. I'm not new to bathing either, I've groomed cats working in the grooming industry. Please let me know if there's anything else important to know and thanks!

I moved with my 9 year old male sphynx in august and hes developed some weird skin issues.

Dry skin flakes on his tail and back of the neck seem to be much worse and he gets dirty way more often.

Is this due to the humidity? Anyway to counter act this? More bathes? We used to live with carpet everywhere and now its all hardwood so im wondering if that is making him more dirty.

right now hes getting 1 bath every 4-6 weeks and a light wipe every week.

This was only a few months ago, but wow, she grew so fast!
