      Sorry for the late reply! I give them each about half a small can in the morning and let them free-feed on dry kibble throughout the day. When peach was a baby I fed the same amount in the morning and let them free feed but I had a higher protein food because peach was a kitten and my older one started eating it and gained like 3 pounds 🤣

      Honestly not long at all! They understood right away what it was for. For four cats you should have 4 litter boxes plus an extra, so you should have 5 litter boxes. You may want to get a few more. I would switch the new ones to the new litter and slowly switch them over

    I've been curious about sphynx cats, my husband is very allergic to anything with hair, especially cats. Like the doctor was wow I haven't seen such a big reaction before ^_^; I'm curious how bad his reaction would be to hairless mammals like sphynx cats or hairless rats. He gets reactions just from hugging his daughter, who has cats at her apartment.
    My cat passed before we met, and I've just had reptile pets currently since I was missing having some pets.

    • @SphynxCrochet
      @SphynxCrochet  Před rokem +2

      Unfortunately I'd say that's probably too severe of an allergy for hairless animals. I am allergic to sphynx cats still, I've just developed a stronger immunity to them over time and it has helped with regular cats too. But the allergy is still there because they are not truly "hypoallergenic". My best bet would be to find someone in your area who has a sphynx cat and have him go over, hold the cat, put his face on it, breathe in deeply, etc (without taking allergy pills) so that you can test it out. I hope it works out!!

In the beginning I had issues with my sphynx too but it’s mostly gone away. I get the odd itchy eyes here and there and sometimes hives if they sleep on me and they’re all sweaty.

    Great video. HA Mine are still terrible. OH well. Your kitties are so sweet and yu have taught them well to mostly enjoy being cared for. O also use the wood pellets for my litter boxes. pitch the sawdust out on my yard and send the poop off. It was not hard to switch them over. And even though they do kick some of the pellets out at times it is nothing like having to dea with the sandy cay litter.

    • @SphynxCrochet
      @SphynxCrochet  Před 2 lety +1

      Oh yes! They do still kick some out but it’s soooo much better than constantly sweeping the clay litter. It was so dusty, tracking all over our couch, bed, chairs, etc. And it can’t be good for their lungs if it’s that dusty, let alone ours too! Plus the clay used to get stuck in their little toe beans and we’d get pieces of litter all over the house. I finally couldn’t take it anymore!

    • @SphynxCrochet
      @SphynxCrochet  Před 5 měsĂ­ci

      I pop them when they get them. To make it hurt less you can use a warm wet compress and just hold it on the area before popping for about 5 mins. It’ll help open the pores and sometimes it’ll open on its own. I know that’s true for pimples, not specifically black heads though. Maybe you could try gently rubbing the area with an exfoliating mitt after the compress

      You should take your cat to a Veterinarian Dermatologist and see if they can help. Our cat has a skin issue (excessive grooming etc) and it's been very hard to find a solution for years. Good luck.

    • @SphynxCrochet
      @SphynxCrochet  Před 10 měsĂ­ci

      Hmm, pimples shouldn’t be causing itching, unless they’re just super oily and that’s what’s causing the itching. I know when my oldest was a baby he had to take allergy pills so he would stop scratching. I gave him 2.5mg of reactine a day, as that is what the vet recommended. Definitely talk to your vet about that though! If you’re bathing too often too, that makes them more oily. As of this point, I don’t bathe them at all anymore unless they really stink. Maybe a bath once a year or something

    One of the misconceptions ppl have on allergies is that when you are allergic to something you should avoid is at all costs.
    While that might be true with the more extreme cases, the type of allergies that just cause sneezes and mild symptoms are fine and you shouldn't avoid the causes of the symptoms because the longer you go without the allergies being triggered the worse its going to get, while if you don't avoid it and get some controlled exposure your body will adapt and in some cases you might even be cured of the allergy so to speak.

    • @SphynxCrochet

      Very true! I was quite allergic to cats before getting my first Sphynx. At the beginning with him I’d wake up with hives all over my chest and stomach every day but over time it got so much better. I’m even able to be around regular cats now without issues. My doctor called it “a natural allergic shot” to live with cats haha

    Hi how do you stop any nasty poop smell from litter box and boy spraying please

    • @SphynxCrochet
      @SphynxCrochet  Před rokem +1

      Hello. Nasty poop smell, try switching to a raw diet, it helps alot. Or add litter deodorizer into the litter box. As for the spraying, my male was neutered before he came home, therefore he’s never sprayed. Try neutering him, it might help. But sometimes once they’ve started spraying it’s too late and they won’t stop even when neutered because they’ve formed a habit :/

    • @SphynxCrochet
      @SphynxCrochet  Před rokem

      Nope! Only if they have diarrhea which isn’t too often. A raw diet helps their poops stay firm and less stinky so if that’s an option for you, then you’ll be fine. We don’t do raw and still don’t have any issues with that though. It’s just stinkier than if we did raw

      He’s just showing dominance and also playing with him. My male cat did this when I brought middle cat home. I just kept an eye on him and would remove him when he’d do that. Eventually he calmed down. Look into Feliway diffusers, you can find them on Amazon. There’s one for multi cats and eleviating stress. Maybe that’ll help :) give it time!

    Never give a cat primarily dry food. They should be fed wet or raw twice a day and dry food should be just added to their treat balls or puzzle toys for enrichment. Dry food is extremely unhealthy and dehydrating. And when feeding wet food, check the ingredients to make sure they are healthy. Yes tiki cat is a great and healthy brand btw

    • @SphynxCrochet
      @SphynxCrochet  Před měsĂ­cem

      I don’t give primarily dry food! Dry food was their dinner and wet food was their breakfast. It’s been a while since this video though and now they eat tiki for breakfast and then freeze dried raw rehydrated for dinner. My littlest one was diagnosed with HCM so I switched them to better food to hopefully have the most time with her that I can!

      Yes that is true. If you feed a raw diet, the poop smell is definitely not as bad. What they’re on now though, the smell is pretty terrible. But I work from home and their litter boxes are in my office so everytime they poop, I scoop right away to avoid too terrible of a smell. Be warned though, while the pellets are super convenient and not messy at all, they have no deodorizer so there’s nothing to deal with that smell. Perhaps one of those added deodorizers would be helpful!
