After A Bath

Homework Is Tiring...

Especially when you are pet in our household.

When we first brought Atticus home I worried about the reaction we would get from Toby the "I'm a Dog" dog.

All is well in our home.

And while I've missed some really cute photo ops...

This one speaks for itself.

In fact it was so cute it took me 15 minutes to realize the child responsible for the homework

was not where he was supposed to be.

This is probably the only pet I have ever had that could get away with walking on the kitchen counters.

Show and Tell

It was show and tell at school.

The printer at home was out of ink.

Our son desperately wanted to bring pictures of Atticus.

So he improvised, and let his artistic abilities flow.

He grabbed a couple of colored pencils and began to draw.

He said it didn't turn out as well as he wanted because he couldn't hold Atticus still and draw at the same time.

Not Much To Say...

I really have nothing important to type.

No new revelations as to living with a sphynx.

Just a million pictures of what I think is one of the cutest cats I have ever known.

And thanks to my dear friend Stephanie, I will no longer be able to call him a kitty.

Or if I do I will always break out into laughter and try my best not to pee my pants.

Thanks Steph! You way ruined the word kitty for me.

In the sun.

Where there is sunshine...

....there will be Atticus...

18 weeks old and growing fast.

Pet Quality

Breeders terms are all Greek to me. When the term "pet quality" was thrown our way I didn't think twice about the definition.


By definition a pet quality cat is a "non perfect" cat. A pedigree or purebred or whatever you want to call it, with or without some of the distinctions that make it a perfect show cat.



In the case of Atticus the Sphynx I am guessing his flaw would be the fur on his face, tail and feet.

Once I got over the fact that people actually show cats I realized his flaws would be of no concern to us whatsoever.

This cat has only been in our home for 11 days and he fits right in with our large family. He is nothing like any other kitten I have ever known.

He must be with someone, in the middle of the action at all times.

Working on the computer is his favorite pass time. His talent for web design is unsurpassed.

If you are able to look past the wrinkles, lack of hair, and over sized ears, you will quickly fall in love.
