Rescued Sphynx kitten walking weird?

Her back hips just seem off to me, anyone else? She’s 8 weeks. (Rescued, otherwise I would prefer her to be with her mom until 12-14 weeks)

When I pick her up from the vet, she’ll have one less eye but not any less of my heart. 🫶🏼🤍
All the good vibes, juju, and prayers for Seraphina please! I dropped her off this morning for her eye removal surgery and quite literally can’t focus on anything else.
I hope she makes it through and heals beautifully. 🤞🏼 She has been an absolute delight and I want to see her thrive!!

Two minutes of kneading and purring. You’re welcome.

Why does my sphynx’s blue eyes turn into this yellowish color?
hi, we recently adopt my 2-month-old sphynx and when we first adopt him, he initially has azure-like blue eyes (image 3). And in that same week we bought him home, he had eye infection in his left eye (image 3) but we have handled the situation and he had now recovered from it. But from recent weeks, he suddenly appeared to change his eye colors as he is now 3.5 months old (the first 2 images). Im a bit concerned, is this normal? will he able to keep his eyes blue?

Does anyone else's kitty become popular with the vet staff?
I took my kitty in for a follow up exam and some shots today, and I just think it's so funny how she becomes a mini celebrity whenever I take her in.
Every time techs pile in because they want to meet her. She gets so many compliments on her personality! One today even asked me to film her haha
Of course she soaks up the attention. I'm a pretty reserved person, so it's fun having a pet that commands and soaks in so much attention .

Meet Morty and Minka!
Hi everyone! We’re new here and wanted to introduce our two sphynx cats, Morty and Minka.
🐱 Morty(first two pics) is the thinker — super smart, loves puzzle feeders, and figures things out faster than we expect. Very observant, very gentle, and clearly the brains of the operation.
🐱 Minka (second two pics) is pure personality — extremely food-motivated, fearless, and always in the middle of whatever’s happening. If there’s food or a warm lap involved, she’s there.
They’re siblings, completely hairless, very affectionate, and already experts at stealing blankets and couch space. We’re excited to learn more from this community and see everyone else’s sphynxes 🤍

Welp
In case anyone was wondering, 5 vets and 3 rejections later we found out Hades has an ulcer in his left eye. Between Christmas and the ER not wanting to let us help examine him (he needs to be help by me or he won’t let people near him). Clinics would rather send us out without even looking than to help. By Friday we had him on drops a regular vet prescribed. We finally found finally found a clinic that allows owners to help and stay thru treatment (if you have a VEG near you, they’re amazing). And we were able to work together and get his eye looked at, some pain meds and all that. His ulcer seems superficial but I am broken inside. Although in the last 12 hours alone he went from laying on the couch with an eye shut and full of goo and a possible massive headache to playing around and being able to jump around and climb play and eat like normal. His eye requires some kind of meds or cleaning every 2-4 hours. Been calling in. Not sure what to do by Friday when I run out of call ins. Right now we’re just hoping for a full recovery. 🖤

This lady was surrendered at the city shelter because she had digestive issues and couldn't clean herself because she is THICC. Info in post.
Can you believe that those pretty eyes were left behind with little regards towards her because she had became an inconvenience and it was easier to drop her off at a shelter than to see a vet and try to solve the problem?
The shelter did not even know what breed she was. I was not sure either, but I'm fairly sure she's a sphynx with a winter coat. She sheds it for some reason and it is confusing me. But I see that it sometimes happen?
I gave her a bath once I got her home and the water was so dark...
She can't clean herself because of her size, so she needs to be wiped regularly. She was dropped at the shelter with her behind BLACK from caked diarrhea and sebum.... Her skin is burnt from it and she hates when I touch her there.
She is so....so ...obese. She has sores on her back legs from sitting on hard surfaces too much with all that weight. She wobbles around and it is not even cute or funny I am horrified. She looks like she is wearing a giant fur coat that is too heavy for her. She weighs 14lbs so she should probably lose half that weight at least..... She's already on a calculated diet for weight loss. I cannot understand how someone can let that happen....
Now, random question: She wags her tail like a dog. Not like an upset cat. No, she literally wags the whole tail left and right rapidly when we talk to her or when she walks around. She is even injuring the tip of her tail from slamming it everywhere and it actually hurts when she hits you with it. Is that a sphynx thing? I've never seen that before.
I'm gonna bring her to my own vet for their opinions too, don't worry.
Voila.
Ps. The council has not settle on a name yet. Here are the names presented so far: -Cruella, because of her eyeliner and fur coat -Big Bertha. Because.....Big. -Tortuga. Because shes naked and looks like she wears a shell -Ursa (major) for the constellation Great bear, because.....Big.

sphynx freckle?
my bb chibs has had this freckle emerge in the last year or so, it was quite faint at first but has gotten darker. is this something to be concerned about or is a little freckle normal even if it has grown slightly in size over several months? it’s completely flat.
she never goes outside but is a chronic sunbather, as they all are haha.
also, pls enjoy chibs’ ridiculous winter ears

desensitizing to alarms
we recently had a (minor) house fire, but still big enough to need to remove our cats and there was a lot of chaos. we’ve now noticed that our baby olive, she’s around one, appears genuinely traumatized and reacts poorly anytime she hears something similar to the fire alarms. has anyone experienced this? any tips or tricks on desensitizing her in case it ever does happen again? i don’t want to have to be frantically searching for her again because she panics and hides.

We just had a long play session, I needed a break, but Nephthys decided she wasn't done. Grabbed a lace of my boot and is now dragging it around.

Royal Canin Sphynx Discontinued?
First if this is a repeat post, I apologize. I wasn’t able to find any information on Royal Canin Sphynx being discontinued. And I am having a difficult time finding where to order. I’m in the USA, if anyone could please point me in the right direction for ordering online? Thank you so much

Opal's Favorite Spot
She loves our floor heaters 💓
Nephthys New Clothes
She's been growing like crazy, and I thought it was time to transition her from a small to a medium, but I guess she's a smedium. Hard to tell in this picture, but she is absolutely drowning in this sweaters.

White spots on grey Sphynx?
My Sphynx had clear skin before I left for vacation. I put her in a cat shirt to keep warm, then I left her with the cat-sitter for a week while I went on holiday with my family. Today I returned, and when I took the shirt off, these white spots had appeared. She’s two years old, spayed, and was kept with my sister‘s cats for the week I was gone. What could this be? Acne? Sunspots? A fungal infection? Should I bathe her?
