RIP my precious MooShoo

Dear Donna,

I only just saw this post since I don't end up on the cat side of town much. I wanted to send you love and my condolences

Cathy and the FLock (sending lots of birdie hugs to you!)

Donna, because of MooShoo, I have read up on Sphynx cats. I was never really attracted to them, though I did have a hairless dog (Chinese Crested) at one time whom I loved dearly. After reading about the breed and hearing your MooShoo stories, I am seriously thinking of making my next cat a Sphynx!

Thanks, Catherinedana!!

Katladyd,

Read up on the breed. They are high maintenance, needing a bath once a week, ears cleaned at least once, if not more a week. They are like no other cat, I can assure you!! They are an in your face kind of cat. Please consider a sphynx rescue. I can't think about getting another Sphynx right now because my dear friend's cats are coming to live with me. They are RB Mollie Rose's mama and sister, ages 17 and 16, respectively.

I'll keep my eyes and ears open for a sphynx, if you are serious. Let me know.

Moosmom, Ive been lurking the last two weeks, Im so sorry you lost your boy and the trouble that followed.

I dont like posting in these threads because I dread starting my own.

MooShoo means alot to you and Im glad he is home where he belongs, with you and your kitties.

Yes, I do know about all the care they require, as I read up on them quite a bit. Harry, my Chinese Crested, needed much the same care. Jackets, sweaters, and frequent bathing. Sunblock, also. I can't even think of another cat right now, as I have two and that is the limit allowed in my apartment complex. When one of my beloved boys passes (which I hope will be quite a while from now) I will then think of another cat. Yes, if I still want a Sphynx, I would adopt one from a rescue. They can be quite expensive, right? Still, they sound loving, inquisitive, outgoing, and playful. My kind of cat!

Thanks Blue!!

They are expensive, depending on whether the Sphynx is pet quality, show quality, breed quality.

Rescues run anywhere from $400-$800. You can also get a Sphynx from a breeder that are deemed to be unsellable.

I only WISH I had the room. But to be honest, there will never be another Mooman.

Still thinking of you and sweet MooShoo every day, Donna.

Someday, I am sure another Sphynx will make its way into your heart, and remind you of MooShoo, but for now, you are doing a great job with your current kitties. They have the most wonderful, loving owner in you.
