Gary,

You're absolutely right. Sphynxes and Devon Rexes need to be bathed at least once a week. They don't have fur to absorb the oils. If you don't bathe them, and you pet them, your hand will be dirty.

Sallyanne,

I think I need the kind of gloves they use for handling eagles, and birds with talons. NOTHING can get through those suckers.

Merry Christmas to you too, girlfriend.
