Stupid Guest Tricks

I love these cats, I wish I could afford this little kitty.

So would I. You do know they have to have their eyes, ears, teeth and claw beds cleaned daily, and bathed once or twice a week, right? And you have to provide them with a little shirty to keep them warm when you're running the AC. Plus warm places for them to snuggle down in. And they're very social, to the point of being in your face. Every once in a while, Petfinders has one or two. But they're usually so outcrossed with shorthairs, you can't see the Sphynx part of their heritage at all.

yep, they are loyal and depend on you like a child.
and they love to sleep with you in your bed with all your warm and fuzzy stuff. you have to check carefully before you just hop in bed. I got my last one a hat to keep her head warm. it was the cat in the hat. but it bugged her, so she ate it. then it was the hat in the cat. vet said, it was just wool, so it would pass. found her a tail warmer too. never saw that again. cats don't make good clothes horses.

Sphynxes are said to be part monkey, part dog, part cat and part child. They are the most intelligent breed of cat, able to operate at the level of a kindergartener. Which can make for some challenges in keeping them out of trouble. Burmese are also quite intelligent, as are Manx and Siamese.
