I love that pic of them snuggled up They've both landed on their feet being with you

Speaking of landing of their feet, me and Neil filmed them playing with their cat tickler last night I'll have to figure out how to upload it. They were so funny

[quote user="Polly Player SVN"]Are Sphynx's known for loving company?[/quote]

Yup. They're a really social, friendly breed that thrive on attention, be it human or animal.

Piglet LOVES company whether from Turtle, me, Neil or the dogs

cool! Tardak is used on entire males during the neutering procedure in some stud cats. :)

[/quote]

Why? I'm intrigued now

[/quote]

to reduce inappropriate behaviour :)

[/quote]

I thought castration would have done that, what does Tardak do that castration won't?

[/quote]

I think we all know after a cat has been a stud/tom for some many years even after castration the behaviours can still stick around! Apparently the use of Tardak during the neuter procedure(not sure of exact time of admin). has great results of reducing the behaviours(i.e. aggression, urinating, stress, drive and inappropriate defecation). There's a few breeders on the NoviceBreeder list that have used it on their males if you want me to get some more specifics for you? I've never used it and i've not seen it used only heard about it with other breeders and their retired studs.

Discussed with our vet and we think it's mainly used for immediate results as testosterone can take 12 weeks until out of system

[quote user="StephB"]do you know if they Tardak'd him when he was neutered? [/quote]

I've never heard of this, neither has our vet?

[quote user="StephB"]you not worried about him peeing all over your house ?? [/quote]

Nope he's been in a pet home for the past year with no problems at all. He's a good little boy

[quote user="StephB"]this one from?[/quote]

He's originally Russian, from a breeder in Wales, the name escapes me (off to hunt out paperwork) he was with a family and their son was allergic to him

My idea of heaven! My other half is yet to be convinced that a house full of cats is a good idea! he's smitten with Piglet, Turtle comes home tonight and I'm sure he'll fall in love with him too
