Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2004a Sphynx cat sits in its cage
Greetings, Thought someone out there might be interested in this picture of a Spyhnx cat sitting in its cage at a cat show in Sofia, Bulgaria http://www.smh.com.au/ftimages/2004/05/17/1084783449280.html funny shot regards =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= In a world where data is coin of the realm, and transmissions are guarded by no better sentinels than man-made codes and corruptible devices, there is no such thing as a secret.

Phone HOME!!! :o) Has anyone actually met a Sphynx? I have, at a couple of cat shows. They have amazing personalities; I can't decide whether it is that they just don't know they're ugly, or they know it and are determined to charm the pants off everyone. They are like they read "How to WIn Friends and Influence People." I don't know if I could own one, but the ones I met were so friendly and put on this total charm offensive -- "Hey how are you? You're looking great. That color really matches your eyes. Have you met Tommy? How are the kids? Do you have any pictures?" ;) -- you almost forget how they look. Of course, the people who really love them *like* how they look.

"special." ;) >Your description of their personality is so right on, they are super >friendly and charming. >Jazz & his mama It was amazing to see them "go to work" on people. People would stop by to gape at them, or ask questions, and weren't entirely comfortable. These were mostly the other cat breeders and fanciers, after all-- Persians, Siamese, Main Coons, etc.-- and the appearance of fur is what a lot of them are interested in -- color, length, texture, point patterns, etc. But these funny-looking critters are so familiar in their behavior and demeanor-- they *are* cats, after all-- they chirrup, stretch, purr, bat at feathers. And then they are sooooo interested in you. "Tell me all about yourself. Oh, you have a dog? How lovely. <Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr prrrrrrrrrrrrrrr prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr>" In a minute, you are holding one (they feel pretty nice, BTW, not leathery, but sort of velvety), and it is snuggling you, saying "Take me home, you know you want to."

"tell me all about yourself"? Are you *sure* they're cats? :) They do sound very, very sweet. Is this the cat that's non-allergenic?

Is this the cat that's non-allergenic? I don't really know. I'lll check it out. It seems like they should be, but they aren't completely devoid of hair-- they have a very light coating of it-- so they probably still produce dander.

A couple years ago i met a couple of Sphynx cats and got to pet them. They are really very soft. and have a very thin fine coat. These were very friendly. And large. With a Sphynx one never has to worry about hairballs and hair all over the place! -- CATherine > >>> Greetings, > >>> [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > -- > CATherine I'm one of the ones that actually likes how they look. Aside from a bengal, and the garden variety persians, the other breed of cat I've seen is a scottish fold. I'd love to see a sphynx though. They're gorgeous animals :) Grace I like how they look too, but Tom thinks they're ugly. :( SignatureVictor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com >I like how they look too, but Tom thinks they're ugly. :( Tom needs to meet one and get the Sphynx full-court charm press. I thought they were hideous, too, but you just don't see them the same way after meeting one. ;) This can happen, after all, with furry cats, can't it? You can see one who is certainly not your ideal of feline beauty, but you end up getting sucked in by his/her personality. And you end up loving him/her anyway, even his/her weird looks. ;) Theresa My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ |
