For Jennifer - Simmi shots

Not the greatest pics, but what I have available, to date.

These are "dog-cats". Sweet, curious, involved and humorous; just a few words to describe these hairless felines (Sphynx). There's never a dull moment with these guys! Last pic is Simmi, 2 yrs. old - this last fall.

Because of allergies, my fids are mostly hypoallergenic. So far, even my birds have been safe. It's possible I might foster a CAG or Ekkie, some time down the road, so we'll have to see how a CAG fits in with regular baths.

What a regal kitty! I am allergic to cats, terrible. It is the saliva that most people are allergic to. I wonder how these would affect me?

Simmi was adorable as a kitten but absolutely regal all grown up.

Thanks, everyone... he's a riot (most of the time). He thinks he's tough, but the birds totally boss him around!


Judy, yes... odd that Sphynx cats are hypo allergenic for most because they do clean themselves. Hair or not, saliva is saliva. We have asthma in my family and this cat doesn't bother like coated cats... Devon Rex cats didn't either. We had one for 17 years and my mom, who was horribly asthmatic, never once had an episode with him. My ex (a veterinarian) said it was because his hair coat was different than other breeds. He didn't shed in the same way other coated cats did. Devons and Sphynx resemble each other physically. The most obvious difference is one just doesn't have any hair.
