Hairless Kitties Take A Bath | Cute Sphynx Cats 

I just subscribed to your new podcast! 🐶😻❤️

Please, please, please do not include breeders among the guests you bring on. There is no reason for anyone to breed animals for profit until the last homeless animal has a home. ADOPT DONT SHOP.

​@@dao8805 There is nothing wrong with reputable, sustainable breeders who treat their animals with respect and put effort into keeping their gene pools healthy. Not everybody is equipped to handle a rescue. You also don't always know what you are getting into with a rescue, you don't know if they have poor genes and will be sickly, this can lead to very expensive vet bills you may not be able to handle. You also have no idea what behavioral issues they may have due to trauma, bad breeding, etc. that you may not be equipped to handle. Let's not shame people for their decisions because you have no idea what their situation is. There will ALWAYS be homeless animals because cats and dogs are overpopulated and always will be, whether people breed or don't breed. That's not anything anybody can help breeders or no breeders. Domesticated animals were bred for thousands of years for a reason, especially working dog breeds. They have specific jobs and not all of those jobs can be done by just any dog. Different breeds of dogs and cats contribute to the genetic diversity of the species' as a whole. If breeders didn't exist the beautiful variety of dogs and cats we see today would be gone. If you're this fervently worried about things like this, next time you say "Aww I love beagles! they're so cute!" maybe think a little deeper as to what you just said and reassess your opinions. How do you think beagles became a thing? Without breeders, they wouldn't have.

Girl With The Dogs and Helpful Vancouver Vet collab when?

MEAN

TIL Sphynx cats have dirty bungholes.

Somebody who was moving and couldn't take their sphinx with them tried to give them to us for free. She was a really sweet cat, but I immediately said no because of videos like this. I do not have the time or patience to wash a cat's butthole every week. 🤣

Guess I am old fashion but I would just want a cat or dog that can take care of it self. Like in the old days.

Just a suggestion - before you adopt or buy any pet, you should research the breed so you know what you are getting yourself into.

I agree with you, but also I can't imagine a sphynx cat being in a shelter for any longer than 5 minutes before someone adopts it or a rescue scoops it up. They shouldn't end up there to begin with though.

Never in the history of shelters, has a a Sphinx ever been dropped off.

Haha. We need a voice over

XD

Yeah, she was really just upset that you were ruining her fun adventure

how often do you gotta bathe and cleaning routine??? I LOVE doing it to my doggies but they dont need it that often. Also i find them SOOOOOOO freaking cute and affectionate!! Perhaps we are the perfect match 🥹💕

@@CataBullR I know lots of people say weekly but I don’t recommend more than once or twice a month. The oils on their skin are there for a reason and too much bathing can cause skin problems. I suggest bathing their bodies in a bath then taking them out of the bath and cleaning their ears, nail beds and clipping their nails while you hold them in your lap while giving them treats and lots of praise. Trying to do all that at the bathing area is too stressful we can make it less stressful by breaking it up and doing the tasks separately. I have only two cats now and I only bathe mine once a month but it is true that some cats create more oils and may need a bath every two weeks.

⁠@@crazysphynxcatlady3359random questions but you seem like you’d have the answer: 1. Do all of them likely have a genetic heart condition where they suddenly die? I was told this. 2. Do they pair well with a cat that has hair? I’d love one but have haired cats.

@@alliecat1658 HCM is the heart condition and no not all Sphynx cats have it, yes they are more susceptible to it, reputable breeders test their cats for HCM but unfortunately that only means that at the time of testing they did not have it. Unfortunately that doesn’t mean they won’t develop it or that the kittens they produce won’t get it at some point. However this does not mean that every Sphynx will develop HCM, being more susceptible for a disease does not mean all Sphynx cats have the disease. Whoever told you this knows nothing about disease susceptibility or Sphynx cats. To my knowledge none of my cats or their kittens has ever developed HCM. Yes it can still happen, it can happen to my two remaining cat who are 8 and 6 years old but possibility does not equal inevitably. Even if one of my cats did develop HCM I would never regret owning them and I would get another one as soon as I could because honestly there’s nothing like the love of a Sphynx. And they love furry animals lol. They like to cuddle up in the fur for warmth. It just depends on the personalities of the two cats and taking the time to introduce them slowly, there’s many articles about the proper way to introduce cats.

Are they anti allergic? I love cats, but...

He sounds like such a sweetheart. Love when cats let you burrito them. Mine are too squirmy for it, but they got fur so maybe it just feels icky.

(snicker) "wins by a hair(less)" (snicker) I love that!

😂

This comment alone makes me think sphynx cats are not for me 😂

BUTTHOLE PRINTSSS no thanks, count me out lol

Noooooooooooo 😂🫠

😂 Welp, that answers all my questions! No rotisserie chicken kitty for me 😂

STOP

With the happy hoodie squid looked more like a seal 😹

He is absolutely amazing - never seen that colour before. ❤

I’ve never really cared for this breed but these are two of the best looking ones I’ve seen.

I loved the black one also!!

I never noticed this about Sphinxes either! Cool facts. Sad for the cats though.

Is that also why the female sphinx didn't want to stop moving?

@@TivonSanders Yes, it’s how they feel the surroundings.

@@chuchu9649 Lol, right you are!!!

YEAH!! Interesting. Thanks for that bit of info😊

😂 you're absolutely right!

It was cute 😂

I felt that through my phone! 😂

I read this comment right when it happened 🤣

~thunk!~ Edit: and then when she started rinsing he literally yelled “NNOOOOO!”

I get that reference. 😁

Okay, this gave me a damn good laugh 😂. Where's Whis when you need him?

Exactly.

Underrated comment 😂

best comment here XD

It's a FOREIGN language to them, that's for sure. 😂

Hahahaha!

These chickens sure put up a fight

and declaw! 😂

😂😂

They sound delightful 😊😊

so agree, they are like imps or fairies, their personality is just adorable

You are a damn hypocrite. If you loved these animals or had an ounce of compassion in you you wouldn’t buy this breed or encourage others to buy it. You would be calling for bans on breeding purposefully deformed and issue-prone animals who’s entire life will be filled with suffering because some people think it makes them look cute.

They leave butthole prints on any glossy countertops, tables, windowsills ...

Wax and oil attract dirt. Dirt is a combination of dead skin cells, dust, and actual dirt.

a lot of ppl assume sphynx would be low maintenance cos they dont have fur but it actually makes them need grooming way more, they gotta be bathed weekly or they get all gross and oily just like we do lol

@@nckojita Judging by the colour of that bathwater they get more gross than we do lol! Not to worry, I have seen enough videos talking about hairless cats to realise they're a LOT more care, and what for, I don't even know, because they're not any better for allergic people. (I'm allergic, I have a domestic medium hair kitten and I bathed him when I rescued him from an outdoor life... and he was still cleaner lol. I'd rather take my chances with the allergy with him than a sphinx cat, definitely lower maintenance.)

@@aesaphyrMy vet told me that it’s not the hair type/length, but a protein enzyme in the saliva that gets spread around when they lick themselves. I was deathly allergic to dogs and cats as a kid (thankfully grew out of it), but never so much sneezed around a horse because they don’t lick themselves/ use saliva to groom. So enjoy your long haired fur baby, you’re going to suffer either way and it’s totally worth it. 😂❤

@@unicorn_bread Lol yeah your vet is correct (I happen to be a doctor). In my family we're unfortunately the other way round, we start off totally fine around animals then we become allergic in adulthood. I used to think I'd defy the family history but alas.

IDK if it's part of the breed, but I haven't seen a sphynx cat without a little pot belly.

@@carrollkuemper Most cats have a pouch back there as protection when fighting. It just looks bigger on sphynxes because they're naked 👍

IT'S A TRAP!

@@carrollkuemperIt seems as if they are more prone to being overweight or obese. A lot of the ones I’ve seen in videos have been overweight.

@@debbiethemadbee I wonder if they end up eating more to help gain body fat in order to stay warm in lieu of fur?

Lots of dirt, oil, grime gets dispersed into a cat's fur. Hairless ones get noticeably oily & dirty after a week or two. I've heard of sphinx cats rubbing against fabric furniture & walls, leaving oily marks. Some get blackheads. Cannot neglect bathing hairless kitties!

@@fritzkrieg2344 Interesting!

One unfortunate thing is that ppl want a cat that won't trigger their cat allergy, or is low maintenance - they assume hairless cat is the solution- but allergens are in the skin oils too, not just the fur. Sadly can lead to re homing. Such funny creatures..

That's the sound we always make to get our cat's attention or for them to come over to us! I have done that for as long as I have been alive. 😂

Don't forget, all cats look like Sphynx cats under their fur!

When I was a kid, I was determined to get a Sphinx cat specifically because everyone else thought they were ugly so I’d be cool and have a unique cat. Now I’m glad I never pursued that dream 😅

Because they look like something that escaped from a horror film ;-)

I like to think it's just because we're used to cats with fur so our minds need a moment to adjust to the difference, lol. The thing that converted me was a photo of someone's hairless cat wearing a collar with tiny spikes on it. xD

I love cats, but these have always looked like scrotums on legs to me 🤷🏼‍♂

They are their own creatures and are members of MGTOW. Meowers going their own way.

Some cats know what it means and obey it, believe it or not. My boy Owl would obey "stay" and "come" commands. He was really affectionate, too. Even walked on a leash and harness. I called him my little dogcat.

I taught my cats commands with hand movements so I think it’s probably possible to teach them verbal commands too lol

My ex gf's cat, a small but extremely smart calico named Daisy, knows a lot of commands. For example, "hungry" is the signal for dinnertime and she goes to the food bowl right away. When you say " Daisy jump", she immediately jumps to the top of her cat tree. When you say "Daisy NO" in a stern voice, she stops whatever naughty thing she has been doing and runs to her room. And she is the only cat I've ever seen that adores having baths - as soon as she hears the drawer where the pet shampoo is kept being opened, she makes a happy chirping noise and runs to the bathroom immediately. My ex gf and I used to joke she was half dog :)

My cat knows a few commands, she's just insanely food motivated. Definitely not as reliable as most dogs though, she's a moggy/dsh

One of my cat knows a bit. Decides whether she feels like it. The other cat understands and does exactly what she pleases. I don’t do many commands, like small children I offer two choices. Like small children they like to feel in control.

haha, I commented the same thing!

I do this with my Tuxedo cat. I mean cats are liquid & foldable 😂😂😂

That's how I do my kitty at home!! I also tend to just do one or two nails when she's very relaxed.

I tend to do that to but I have to turn my girl around when I do her thumbs and the claws between the thumb and the rest of the paw or I can't clip them, the amount of times she has used my stomach as a springboard...

I clip my cats’ nails with them in my lap, too.

I'm still trying find a way for one of mine. She doesn't liked to be held or picked up and she hates having her paws touched. I've tried to desensitize her over the past 3 years - no luck. She completely freaks out. I'm by myself, and haven't been able to do,it alone. All my other cats were fine.

If you have two people, our cat likes to sit in someone’s lap…second person quickly clips.

Yes but the oil attracts dust and dirt. So it is dirt.

My kitties will wash the dishes, the car, and clean the bathroom for a Churrru.
