I'll be bathing cats soon! But I'll be doing it forever! I'm bringing two Sphynx Kittens home in 8ish weeks and they require baths often to clean the excess oils from their skin, otherwise it builds up and leaves a waxy residue. Yuck! The breeder is already giving bathes so they should have a head start on getting used to it... but she only gives one or two bathes before they go home due to the age... lol so how used to it can they be?

I am so jealous! I LOVE the Sphynx breed and was originally going to get two, but things didn't work out that way (long story). I ended up with a rescue domestic medium hair cat and my Devon Rex. Once I get into a bigger place, I am definitely adding a Sphynx to my crew.

Here Kitty Kitty! LOL I have had many cats in my life and I always found a way to make someone else bath them! That way Im still the good mom!

But I have to say... I have a cat now named patches and he looks like a holstein cow. Anyway, patches loves to chase dragonflies in the summer. So one day my husband and I were out cleaning the pool and pulling weeds and I just happened to look up and patches was in midair after a DF and when he realised he jumped too far, he gave me this look like OH POOP and into the pool he went! You have never seen a cat move so fast! And he still chases DF! Hes dumb but we love him.

Have fun, Duncan AND Pipers mom
