He was 1200... 1500 because of the flight, etc... He's got peach fuzz.. kinda like newborn babies have.
The only thing that sucks is that he DOES have the same oils on his skin as a regular cat but with a normal cat, the oils help keep the coat shiny and clean. With him, he gets all sweaty underneath him and in his wrinkles (he's only wrinkles now cuz he's a 4 month old kitten) Plus my kids like to eat cheetos and then go handle him lol.... so he has to have a bath every 5 days or so. I just use baby shampoo and then do his ears, eyes, and nose with baby wipes in between. You would think he would be low maintenance but that's not the case at all.
I'm not sure if it's the breed or him, but his temperment is unbelievable. He likes to ride in the car (with heated seats of course) and he's very mellow and tolerant to chaos of any kind.
I felt bad at first because every cat I've had my whole life came from the humane society. This is my first purebred cat. But when I got him he was so sick with nasal infection and stuff that I feel like I definately saved him. He was severely underweight too.. He loves people food from chicken to tomatos, bananas, and carrots. But I only give him a few tastes everyday only cuz he cries like a baby everytime anyone's eating anything...
Anyway there's a bit of Sphynx info for you
The funny this is, Kens assistant mentioned to the breeder he might be in some advertisements but didn't say what kind.... so she keeps emailing me wanting to see! lol I don't know if I should show her or not.
