RIP- ELECTRONIC ARTS (1982-2026) Today EA is permanently delisting its stock from the market, following the sale of all its stock to the Triumvirate of Evil. From now on 100% of EA's profits will directly finance Saudi Arabia's regime and Jared Kushner's deals. Needless to say: not with my money.

Salad is one of my colony ambassadors I am selfishly glad wasn’t adopted. She was deemed too ‘aggressive’. She’s the defacto leader at the moment even if she’s the smallest. She’s still the mightiest. Hates everyone (except humans), is very food aggressive and always has been. An icon who I love.

damn I did not know that! The rescue where we got Lola and Willie sometimes has sphynx and the woman who runs the rescue (and has adopted some herself—she says people call them “skinfants” bc they’re so cuddly and needy) says they are a nightmare and that breeding them should be illegal

YES THEY ARE CUTE BUT.... When we were at the Milwaukee Pet Expo this past weekend I had more inquiries about Sphynx than I can ever remember. Which is scary because that means they are becoming more popular...which is even more scary because most of the folks I spoke with knew nothing about them. So here we go with the Public Service Announcement. IF YOU OR FOLKS YOU KNOW DESPERATELY WANT A SPHYNX, DID YOU KNOW: 1). That over 80% (probably more) will develop heart problems, specifically fatal enlargement of the heart (cardiomyopathy)? And heart scanning the parents means little. My gorgeous boy here had both parents scan negative and he will eventually die of cardiomyopathy anyway. 2). Do you have the Deep Pockets necessary to build a new wing on to your vet's office because of your cat's genetic issues? If no, consider a lovely furred domestic. 3). THEY DO NOT HELP WITH ALLERGIES. NO BREED DOES. 4). They do NOT need to be washed weekly...and if you overwash them you will cause more skin problems (to which they are prone anyway). 5). Striking a balance between washing and not washing is not easy (high quality expensive food makes a huge difference) and regardless they will probably influence your purchase choices of bedding and furniture because just their laying on stuff can leave grease marks on light colors. 6). Their ears need to be cleaned constantly. Like...constantly.6). We have seen cats with terrible eye, Gi, skin and ear problems over the years. Mostly because a lot of backyard breeders have no idea what they are doing and simply slap cats together. They can get $1500 a cat and have no obligation once it leaves. People are lined up with no idea what they are getting. Again...Deep Pockets. There is a lot more I can add to this but here are the highlights. Please read, pass on to friends, etc. Also, join FB pages like Sphynx Health if you really want to see some suffering cats and owners and decide if you want to potentially be part of that. Of course I adore my 3 and they have wonderful personalities, but I also knew exactly what I was getting into and live that life accordingly. Photo: a sphynx in a sweater
