This is my baby, Kilo. In March 2023 I saw on the news and social media that a Sphynx cat had been found living inside of a Mexican prison. This is my understanding of his story: His owner was a leader in the Los Mexicles cartel, and was in prison for murder among other charges. After a party on New Years he had escaped. When he was finally caught, they beat him to death. After which, they raided they prison and found Kilo, 7 dogs, 20 guns, 1000 rounds of ammunition, drugs, alcohol, and to top it all off - a mechanical bull. Kilo was then taken to an animal shelter in Juarez. Because of the tattoos on him they could not give him back to his previous owners family and they began broadcasting him on the news to look for a new home for him. He became a little celebrity because of his backstory and unusual markings. When I heard about him, I just knew I should at least try to adopt him. I have had Sphynx my entire life, 8 up until that point, and absolutely adore the breed. I am young, self-employed, and able to care for him fully so I just felt like it was my job to try to give him a safe home. I flew to El Paso the day after I read about him, and met with some officials in Juarez to plead my case. I explained my experience with and love for the breed and even wrote a letter to the President of Chihuahua promising to care for and love him better than anyone else could. And somehow it worked! Before I actually met him, they didn’t give me any information on his temperament, health status, or personality. I was nervous to say the least because I already had another Sphynx at home and a small dog. But apparently I just used all my luck with him because he is the sweetest, snuggliest, and friendliest cat I have EVER met. When I met him he was absolutely filthy and totally emaciated. He had eye mucus buildup from infection, skin sores, and open wounds on his legs and paws. It was devastating seeing an animal that was so innocent in that state, but after a couple vet visits and rounds of medication he is the healthiest happiest boy ever. He bonded with my other cat so well and is warming up every day to my dog. It was a match made in heaven. Apparently I beat out 10,000 other applicants which feels like a sign from above that he was supposed to be a part of my family.

Anyways - I just felt like sharing this beautiful story with people who would appreciate it :)

(I left out a lot of details to protect myself and him but you can find new articles or Reddit posts about him if you want to learn more!)

Over the past year the blacks dots have developed quite quickly. He does not have issues otherwise but I’m wondering what you guys think of that? Have you ever experienced that as well?

Got my new kitten today and when I was looking at him I noticed a little eye of horus tattooed on him? It's real too. I'm assuming it's his neutered tattoo but i wouldn't expect a vet to do something like that, has anyone else seen this?

It seemed really scared and I bent down to it and it jumped on me it looked hungry trying to get in are bags and when I tried to get in my car it jumped in so I took it home for now ( it’s 2:10 am here) so just so I knew it would be safe and I have put food down and it’s wolfing it down like it is very hungry and drank gallons. I don’t have any experience with this breed of cat I’m taking it to the vet tomorrow but was just hoping to get some guidance it is very clingy to me too. Also could you tell what gender it is. I feel mean calling it “it”. It also had no collar.

All this time i thought i wouldn’t like spinx cat. I said they look like raw chicken. I just met 3 spinx at a cat cafe. I touched them and God they’re so soft 😭 i never felt anything like it, it’s like a baby skin. They’re very classy and gentle i can’t explain. I regret every single thing i thought of them before. I’m in love 😭💕❤️♥️

My friend got Mochi 3 or so years ago and went from having a velvet coat to this. Any explanations on how this happened?

After being worried because she was not on her usual napping spots

sorry to have to share this news with you all and this will be my last post but i know that you are we are invested in Pound Cake’s journey🫶🏻

Unfortunately Pound Cake passed away on saturday.

he died in a warm comfy bed surrounded by toys in a clean room while fully medicated beside the rescue vets who loved him dearly.

I’ll spare you the details but it was very sudden. The rescue vets were able to help him hold on for a few days longer but he eventually passed on after fighting very hard for two whole days 💗It wasn’t anything the vets could have prevented so please do not be mad, he was not euthanized and they did everything they could have to save him.

I know this isn’t the outcome he deserved but his quality of life improved immensely from when he was given to me. He came to me screaming and pacing in pain and with love he became able to play and snuggle and he finally got the right medical care 💗 Even if only for a short time, i’m glad he knew peace and he knew love. From the rescue and all of y’all. I’m so happy he was on pain meds.

I’m so sorry to have to share this news I know it is upsetting, but if he would have passed anyway so i’m glad he passed after knowing at least of little bit of comfort and a whole lot of love.

rest in peace pound cake you were so weird the whole time i’ll miss ur freak ass forever🫶🏻

He had a little photoshoot at the rescue the day before everything went downhill. I think he looks cunty as hell 💗

It has come to my attention that a photo of my son Binx had thousands of up votes a few months back. I thought i’d give the people more content hehe. i love a mid yawn pic—it looks like he’s screaming

Our little gremlin Bean got stuck in our makeshift hallway for a few hours last night and made a MESS. He promptly decided to knock over and chew through 20+ cat treat tubes. And had the AUDACITY to give me this face when I found him this morning. 😂

It was a joke, but I decided to commit to the bit. Yarn spun by Provenance Yarns and Textiles in Ontario, with lamb added to give it more length as my husky has pretty short fur.

Is it stupid? Yes. Am I tickled by it? Also yes.

Hi all. I posted a few days ago about my ex’s cat that i’m now caring for and I got some comments to post an update. Thank you all so much for caring about Pound Cake and ty to the person who recommended his name🫶🏻 He didn’t have one at his old families.

All the comments on this sub have been so helpful for me- i’ve never been around so thank you all very much- i’ll try to be as quick as i can we got back from the vet a few hours ago.

So the good news is his urinalysis came back clean, he also got a full body and brain exam and he doesn’t have diabetes malleus(?) either or neuro issues.

The bad news is he has severe osteoarthritis and thats why he’s not walking,-he plays lying down but will walks a few steps for his food before giving up :( his muscles are incredibly underdeveloped as well the vet prescribed solesnia and something similar to gabapentin(i forgot the name it’s long)

Unfortunately he has a cranial cruciate ligament ruptur- which the vet explained is like a cat equivalent of an ACL tear :( and he needs surgery to fix it- The vet believes that this has been bugging Pound Cat for months if not longer. :(

since he is too overweight to be put under safely he are having to consider putting him down💔His QOL is so poor, he only plays laying down for seconds at time before giving up entirely- he can’t understand he’s not being free feed and the poor guy cries when we i leave him :( he got groomed too and the poor guy got shit all up in his ass. and he’s just so sad all the time.

Im giving it about a week on his medication to see if he’s in less pain and if he’s still in severe pain after following the vets recommend diet changes and keeping up with meds- we and the vet both decided euthanasia would be the most humane.

Id a miracle happens andhe improves shortly i’m going to give him to a rescues/foster that has experience in big cats so they can help him long term. So he probably isn’t going to be with me for much longer either way.

Sorry I don’t have a better update for you all:( He’s still in the bathroom with a mattress and some blanket and a scratcher and I hang with him in there when i’m home- i told my professor i wouldn’t be in class for the next day so i can be with him. hes in a lot of pain still but loves to lie on my lap and lick me like a weirdo 💗 i gave him his meds and for the first time in a while he played.(video) i also learned about bathing him so I gave him a scrub and he fell asleep and has been conked out on cbd meds 🫶🏻

Thank you all for the advice I will update once anything changes- in the meantime i’m gonna enjoy all the meatslaps i can get. Thank you for your time I know this is a long post and i’m sure there’s a few typos💗

Our baby, Loempia, went from almost 5kg to 4ish kg after the vet told us she was too fat. Dechonkification success!

Her sitter claims it's ringworm and that she had it when I dropped her off (she didn't) and that she spent 400 dollars at the vet to get it fixed. But she didn't tell me anything throughout the entire week, she only told me all this when I came to pick her up.
