They feel gorgeous - warm and velvety. The downside to owning one is that they can be quite delicate and are prone to heart problems. One of the ones I knew used to sleep in bed with his owner and one morning the owner woke up to find that the sphynx was lying next to him, dead. He's shown no signs of sickness and was only about eight. It must have been shattering.
A black tortoiseshell cat I had years ago did a similar thing, slept on my bed curled up next to her brother as usual & died during the night. She was the one who liked to sit on my shoulder.
Heaps of character.
Sweetied darling no.2 hooked up new/old washer for me yesterday & this morning discovered the damn thing's leaking..oh joy. I feel annoyed that I'll be taking more of his time off work but as I'm useless at such things, there's no help for it.
Just learned yesterday that third eldest granddaughter is having a wee girl, so their lad will be a big brother, really pleased for them.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
