Just four days and she has made friends with all the other cats, she loves playing with Xenia and Wispa, she loves to eat with the others and is one of the first to run for biscuits when I call them. When I groom them in the mornings and clean their room she knows to go and sit on the stairs with the others while I vac their beds, then when I have finished she will follow them all back in to their room for breakfast. It is like she has been here forever, she is so affectionate too and adores cuddles. Here she is with Isak ... Playing with the Kong Wubba.... With Wispa... Our very own Posh and Becks sharing a drink (Dave (David) and Victoria)... Can you spot her, she looks so tiny here, it must be the angle of the camera, she is small but not that small lol....

So glad she's settled in so well. Great pictures.
As to the line-up for food, do they all have their own place in line?

Wow! who knew? I was thinking literally in terms of brushing being the grooming. Guess I've learnt something today. Great pics. So pleased she has settled so well. Love the last one. Presume she doesn't expect to be groomed :0) She takes more grooming than all of them, Sphynx have to be washed daily, ears and claws cleaned daily and a bath at least once per week.

Toni...they did have their own bowls and places where they preferred to eat until Victoria arrived, she just jumps in to the first bowl she fancies and the others have to do a re shuffle. Pat she isn't really that small, she just looks it on this feeding time pic, she weighs 4.25 lbs but upto Isak who weighs 20lbs, Bianca 10lbs, Dave 10lbs and Paris 13 lbs they make her look tiny. Sphynx do groom themselves like other cats do but they need a lot of help from us too.

She is absolutely stunning! So 'clean' looking! No markings on her skin or anything XD
Do they not get very very cold in winter months?

I suppose if the house is cold they would get cold but our house is exceptionally warm all year round, it is too hot in the Summer. If it is cold for us then it would be cold for a Sphynx, a heat pad and blankets keep them warm enough. Some owners put them a jumper on in the colder weather. It takes a lot of doing to keep her so clean, the trick is to put coconut oil on her for ten minutes and then bath her in baby wash. I have had lots of advise from different breeders on how to keep her clean. It takes a lot of effort though. Ear cleaner and baby wipes are needed too along with an exfoliation glove, I don't go out to work so I have lots of time to keep her clean.

Does she enjoy being cleaned or just tolerate it?

Does she enjoy being cleaned or just tolerate it? She tolerates it, hopefully one day she will come to enjoy it.
