I think that you can be allergic to different parts of animals (IIRC, for cats it is hair, dander/skin, or saliva), so before you buy in you may want to get checked - a subset of cat-allergic people are just as allergic to the hairless ones (also heard of some breeds out of Europe that don't have the dander component?). You probably also need a tinfoil hat, b/c those cats look like they have a direct link to some super weird mind-ray stuff (and I mean 'relative to normal cat mind control' level of weird).

I would love to have a Sphynx! Beautiful animal.
Requesting assistance from cat owners. The week before Hamilton went to the vet for his grooming a stray showed up lingering around my house and the neighbors. Hamilton has always been an indoor/outdoor cat. He has a litter box inside but prefers to go outside so I've just always let him come and go as he pleases. I have a pet door on the garage door and another on the entrance to the house from the garage but keep it locked as he likes to get on the car. Friday I came home from work and he shat in one of the spare bedrooms. Completely unlike him. His litter box stays clean so it isn't because it was dirty. Saturday morning I caught him pissing in the corner of the same bedroom. I started keeping the door closed to this room this weekend and caught him pissing outside the door to this bedroom again last night. Completely baffled. All he has to do is go to a door, meow and he gets to go outside. Could he be doing this to express his disdain for getting groomed or could it possibly be because of the stray that has showed up outside and he is marking his territory? I have to find a fix to this as I can't allow him to destroy my house. Any help/suggestions appreciated. |

Did the stray happen to make its way into said room thru the animal doors?
Is Hamilton in the beginning stages of some illness? The equivalent to kennel cough for dogs? |

If he stops peeing altogether, and/or stops eating/drinking, then I'd check with a vet - it was a sign one of ours was having bladder issues. But also a real common behavior for territorial or "expressive" purposes (i.e. he's PO'd about the haircut). I'm betting it is the new cat - that is a classic territorial thing for male cats.

Wow - odd behavior. If Hamilton if fixed, then it is very unlikely he is 'marking'. They don't really do that if they have been neutered. It seems he has decided that the room is now an acceptable place to go potty. Typically, the simplest solution to this is to make it an unattractive place to go. You can spray some 'anti-scratch' spray in the room to see if that helps. Another option is to put various things in there to make it difficult to find a place to go, such as furniture and what not. You can also start putting his food and water bowl in there - since cats usually will not go potty anywhere near where they eat.

Hmmm, Now_Rudi has a cat that's upset about the neighborhood stray hanging around his turf. Run Silent takes in spare cats. How far apart do you two live? I have an idea.....
This is like when you're looking at Craigslist and you see an add for a "free washing machine, you must haul away", then 2 lines down you see a post for "need washing machine, cheap, have truck." and you wonder how have you two not found each other yet. You can solve each other's problems! |

Cats can be very territorial plus temperamental when anything interrupts their lifestyle. What you are describing is a classic sign of rebellion and him expressing his disdain for something......presumably the other cat encroaching on his space. |
