Yep, Sphynx cats are incredibly vocal. Banu happens to be suffering and the hissing is not a happy noise, but yowling and complaining actually isn't that unusual for the breed! I've seen one being bathed by their guardian and even though he wasn't trying to bite or scratch, he was clearly not amused by the process and was SCREAMING at the top of his little lungs, far louder than Banu! He also tended to yell at his humans for attention - sounded like a human baby at times.

Oooh, and I just thought of something else - I once rented a room in a woman's house for a year and she had three cats. One of them only passed a few years ago, so she must have been pretty young when I knew her and an elderly lady when she died. No specific breed. She was incredibly affectionate and slept on my bed most of the time I lived there, but she HATED being picked up. She never ever tried to scratch that I saw, but whenever we had to pick her up to move her, she'd wail, "Mmmrowwwwwrrrrooow!" really loudly until we put her down again. Like she just really wanted to register her *extreme* displeasure, but was too much of a sweetheart to actually attack. It certainly worked - we made sure to pick her up as little as possible so we didn't stress her too much. I love how quirky cats can be! One of the others was a playful nose-biter. If my landlady was feeling mischievous, sometimes she'd wake me up in the morning by dropping him on my bed to wake me up with a nose nip. XD

@@hazelangus That’s an incredible way to wake up!! Thank you for sharing all of this, really cheers me up! 😆

@@hazelangus LOOOOOL, sounds like you had a funny landlady!

@@YuBeace I have to get up at 2 am for work. One of my cats (elderly Sphynx) wakes me up without fail every morning between 1:30 and 1:45 am. It's not that he dosen't want me to be late for work---he wants his Temptations cat treats. He nips me on the chin. He does it on the weekends too, when I'm off. (Jan Griffiths).

She looked really cute, but they do serve a proper purpose for sphynx as they get cold easily due to the lack of fur.

I used to raise Sphynx, and had lots of little specially made onesies for them when it got cold. None of mine had Banu's temperament, even in season. Mine were so laid back. I still have 4 of them, all elderly now. They and Siamese are the best breeds. (Jan Griffiths).

She was actually purring near the end of the clip…unless they dubbed !

Same I think she is adorable

I know it sounds really dumb but I didnt realise they didn't have whiskers as well as fur. I have stroked a Sphynx they feel like a shammy leather. Lovely unusual cats.

Well if a giant grizzly bear was trying to kill and eat me, I mean I would have to defend myself.

@@brandongonzales4744 You know what they mean.

Amen

well that would be were i am going then 😁 with cats that my every day thing, all i need is a electric fence, water, bow made from a tree or my gun, just to see them jump then flop around is fun 43 cats so far and its only been three days

I don't understand it either. No matter how sick or annoying the cat is, you don't throw your damn cat into the ocean.

@@princess_thanos like if it's really that urgent to get rid of your cat if you cannot care for it any longer then idk at least find a shelter or a new good home...there is no option where you should just be throwing your cat in the ocean..the cat would have been so bloody scared..people who do that stuff are horrible..

Such vicious cruelty. That person should be in jail for a long time.

@@XXthelivingdead even dropping it off at a shelter or vet hospital like SASH in a box or crate is better than throwing a living breathing being who feels pain and emotion into a confined crate and tossed into the ocean. I hope they nearly drown.

@@princess_thanos 100%

She sounds like my extremely neurotic white cat they are very similar

Talk to my sassy feral tux cat, even after being spayed she is such a nut case that is a part of her personality but she can be sweet at times with a cute squeaky mew and a loud purr and pure boldness

Our, now 14+-year-old cat had also been declawed, spayed and either set loose or she escaped. She arrived on our farm one fall, feral, malnourished, and in poor condition. From the moment I first picked her up, she melted into my body and we've been inseparable ever since. I assumed she was a lost or runaway cat as she had obviously belonged to someone at some point. Someone paid money to have her spayed and de-clawed. We flooded the area with notices but no one ever claimed her. I have had a lot of cats in my lifetime, but Nyx is by far the cuddliest cat I've ever met. Nightly she drapes over my shoulder and does her best impression of melting into my neck. She's been with us for over 14 years now, though I have no idea how old she is. I don't know if the time on her own changed her from being a door-dasher or if she was set out against her will, but she has never tried to leave the house.

I didn’t even know declawing was a thing- Poor kitties :(

@@shadowfire1297 I know. 😢

Declawing is the worst punishment you can give a cat..

@@testerwulf3357 Agreed. 🥺

Can I ask why you are not a fan of them? I know how cats with folded ears are misformed so we shouldn’t promote the birth of new folded ears cats but is there something similar with sphinx cats?

@@613Pamuk a lot of people just aren't fans of them bc they're hairless and look a bit weird/silly/what have you. that being said, in relation to potential breed issues, they don't really have any genetic issues but they DO require a ton of extra care that people don't expect. Because of the fact that they don't have any fur, they need daily moisturizing, ear cleaning, de-greasing, and exfoliating. they're huge amounts of work and some people say that because of the lack of natural protection to their skin via fur, that they're more prone to some issues. so basically it's not because of any reasons to do with their genetics. It's mostly that sphinx cats are an acquired taste due to their 'goblin' appearance and some people just don't like them that much bc they're hairless.

@@Nathan-sh1zg oh, yeah i totally agree! I was wondering whether there was a genetic issue going on but yes they do require almost weekly baths and frequent nail-gunk cleaning. The way the owner’s have to pull that gunk out makes me so uncomfortable😭 i personally do enjoy seeing them, especially when they’re freshly oiled up!!!! but i wouldn’t be able to put so much effort in these breeds especially because they don’t just come stepping on your front door, you have to actively seek them out.

My mom would always refer to the cats as family, like "I'm taking care of 6 people here!" (We have 2 cats)

Ours were just plain old domestic shorthairs but they were family members. 2 cats, 2 humans happily cohabiting. So entertaining! The sleeping platform on their tree was hip high and beside the main traffic path in the house so they were always right in the middle of everything. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Yes he is. Him and Alex Hynes are my favourite⭐

Which cat?

@@adt4025 The one they found in the ocean. In another episode, Chris adopts him.

@@kaylablanton8519 what episode is it for him to adopt george?

unfortunately since then george has passed away. the show is generally extremely behind on youtube. so its been a few years since he passed but he lived a great life with chris.

@@dolleyes9232 yes I know he has since adopted cricket the cat

I'm sorry for your loss. :(

Drowning is not described as painful, it happens fairly quickly too. I don’t condone it I was just correcting that it isn’t said to be painful but definitely had to be a terrifying experience for the poor animal.

I volunteer at an animal shelter and sometimes breeds of kittens will come in! A couple times we had a litter of Ragdoll siamese mix come in. For there own protection cause they were so beautiful, we had to lock the cage doors so nobody would just take them and run. They were adopted in a heartbeat!

As Annie noted, once in a while a purebred comes into the shelter. One of the animal rescue accounts I follow actually has a rescue Sphynx that was surrendered to the shelter. That said, there is one breeder I follow here on UKposts, @Kaja Cattery, because of the obviously loving, high-quality care given to the cats and the care to see that the queens are not bred too frequently.

I agree. My boy is a rescue baby. My sister has a rescue baby, whose actual babies my mom adopted!! We’ve always rescued, we even fostered dogs for a while when I was in high school. They’ve always been the best babies. There are rarely any medical issues, and their personalities are the best!!

If more people bought cats from responsible breeders there would be less cats in shelters. :)

@@BringDeathByPickles Exactly this! Along with the fact people buy from breeders to get an idea on their temperament and health/genetics, it's less risky and if no one bought from breeders they wouldn't breed and thus pets would extinct along with the liters going unsold would go into shelters anyways or abandoned..

that was doogle

Wow gard cats

My parents used to have a Burmese cat that stood up on her back feet to chase my sister out of the room; guess she smelled her dogs and didn't want anything to do with her. She was the only person that the cat never liked. 😂

Also called bad parenting. Would you consider it okey if your human chikdren got raised to hate all other animals or humans?;)

@@ruben7937 humans are capable of reason, and introspection, which is what makes it unacceptable for humans to act that way. Cats are pure instinct, and they don't reason. they're smart but they aren't capable of the same introspection we are.

@@ExarchGaming That's very well explained. Thankyou.

Dr. Kate is so beautiful...and she has some GORGEOUS hair!!!

If the Sphynx (or any other cat) has "meezer" markings (Siamese), they'll have blue eyes for life.

@@nerysghemor5781 Yep, but also white Sphynx can have blue eyes. Just as any other blue eyed white cats, most are deaf. (Jan Griffiths).

Devoted Cat Daddy! God bless you.

@@edwardvogel9094 Thanks. My cats are my babies, as are all my other pets. I have ball pythons, 2 dogs, and 3 mini horses as well as the cats. (Jan Griffiths).

Yep. I always spay around the age of 4 months. In the US, kittens have to weigh at least 2 pounds before spaying/neutering. At 4 months, most weigh at least 6 pounds, so they have a bit more of a reserve to fall back on if needed, but still too young to go into season. (Jan Griffiths).

I didn’t know that. Had mine spayed at 6 because we were visiting another country and were leaving her with others

Well, it's best to spay them before they ever go in heat. The really important part is not to spay them *while* they are in heat because they've got much more blood in those parts as the poster said...

are you deadass telling a vet how to do their job? and she wasn’t in heat when she got spayed.

Yeah mine got in heat pretty late, so we waited before her first heat, when it was over she was oparated.

What kind of symptoms did you experience during your teens/early 20s? I believe I have been experiencing symptoms of PMDD, but I can’t see a Dr til next year.

You did so as a teen or later on?

God wish I could get the same treatment haha

Well, its still a TV show... Its actually quite common for pets to stop breathing briefly at the start of sedation. Its like their body needs a bit to adjust. Of course you need to monitor them very closely and you try to stimulate breathing again but it is not qn immediate emergency. As long as the gums and tongue look nice and pink and don't start going blue you're good. It also happens especially with brachycephalic breeds (cats as well as dogs). To me it feels like they are overwhelmed with the amount of oxygen they suddenly get once you intubate them, so their body doesn't get the signal to breathe. Never had an animal actually completely stoo breathing though. They always come back around

Declawing is so horrible...

@@phoenixflamegames1 He's an absolute PTSD mess because of it. Poor guy licked almost all his fur off when we moved this summer. The vet won't even let us bring him in if he isn't sedated. I had the displeasure of meeting the turd who had him for the first 6 years. The guy almost broke his legs trying to get him in my cage yelling "this guy is going no matter what" I choked back tears and just carried him. He had no issues getting the hell outta there. Unfortunately whatever happened there, has never left him. It's been 7 years now. He's a ball of nerves, but MY ball of nerves. Forever.

@@jeannetterw oh no.. poor baby.. I've read that declawed cats eventually stop using the litter box because of how sensitive their paws get. I hope your cats nubbins will be alright!

@@herzen9857 And declawed cats don't walk properly, can't exercise their shoulder, back, and forearm muscles properly because they no longer can dig in with their claws and pull back. We have my mother in law's cat who is declawed. Our other cats are not. The reason we have him is because she passed away, and there was nowhere else for the cat to go. His muscles are atrophied and a lot weaker than our cats. I feel bad for him. He does not run or jump as our cats do, and our cats are all older than he is. I will be so happy when all states in the US ban this barbaric procedure. My state, Arizona, banned declawing in 2018. (Jan Griffiths).

They shouldn't have "nubs" if they've been declawed. Were the claws actually gone, or are the bones exposed? I hear that sometimes happens if they get infected. That sounds horrible. Declawimg should be illegal.

My guess is that it seems uncommon to him in comparison to dogs. So while it’s not super rare, dogs tend to have it a little more frequently than cats. It’s a matter of perspective I suppose!

Maybe we're just unlucky? My cat also has one

Same here. We've finally found a good vet, too, and it makes *such* a difference. :)

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for Watching & Subscribing!

Don't feel bad. I've had 3 cats by now. Two are the devil incarnate at the vet and one is a pure angel who lets them do *everything* to her. And that one is ironically the one with permanent diseases who has to be brought to the vet much more often. 😅 Their behaviour there really doesn't reflect how the owner treats/has trained them.^^

My vet hates one of my cats. She is a handful, but I don't love the way they handle her. I need to find a vet who's better with cats. :/

I sat there and cried when they told us George passed.

And just like that he adopts a less cranky mini George with exactly the same personality as him. Cricket is the perfect cat for Chris just like George was

What are those? They seem like a thing my cat would need.

@@omegadragons321 Just Google soft paws. They are claw caps. They do have to be replaced as the cat sheds the sheath of its claws. I had my vets groomer do it until she outgrew her “claw all humans” phase.

@@newbirth35 can the claws still retract

@@omegadragons321 Most of the way, yes.
