How I met my cat?
My Sphynx
I don’t believe in love at first sight, well that was before I met my very first Sphynx. He immediately had
me with his green/yellow eyes, the expression in those
eyes and of course his head butt. I obviously chose the
breed, but in many ways I think they chose me!
The Sphynx breed is not for the faint hearted, if you
live a relaxed and chilled life then the Sphynx is not
for you. They are extremely energetic, it almost seems
like they AdHD as they never tire! They are clown
cats and love to play tricks, they loved to involved in
the dynamics and goings on of the family unit! They
are like dogs and are very loyal, they tend to shadow
you were ever you go! They are also extremely vocal
cats I have actual conversations with mine! They are
also highly intelligent! Most people say the are ugly
because of their lack of hair, this only makes them
unique and even more special! They love food and are
known to be thieves - they will steal food right out
of your plate! And if you are tall you’ll make fantastic climbing gym! They also act as deterrents for any
would be bugular, as most peole are scared of them!
I could never imagine my life without a Sphynx it!
They are little people! To own (or to be owned by a
Sphynx) is a complete lifestyle change, and I wouldn’t
have it any other way.

Lady Cara
The first time I saw Lady Cara, or just Cara to her friends, she was
sitting in the back corner of a cat carrier in my room. She had just
been rescued earlier that day from a rubbish dump where someone
threw her away with the trash. As soon as I opened the door she
came foward to greet me. You could see she was scared but somehow plucked up enough courage to come forward. I picked her up,
she immediately started purring and I was hooked!
She started her show career a few weeks later. She won her very
first show taking the coveted award of Pet of the day. The competition was tough, but she won over the judges with her purr. Lady Cara
has since grown up and has been placed in almost every cat show
she has entered and won several. She placed 17th pet with CFSA Cat
Of The Year. She also came second in SACC Gauteng Top Cat, where
only the top 5 in each category were invited to attend. All in all, not
a bad year for a little cat that that was thown out with the trash.
