This
is our beautiful Sphynx kitten Lexi. We lost our gorgeous black
Sphynx male Tucker on March third at the age of twenty months. We found
out in January that Tucker was suffering from heart disease. After six
weeks of medications, doctors visits and a hospital stay Tucker suffered
another stroke. Our family was absolutely devastated. We also have
Tucker's mom, Jasmine, who we adopted upon her retirement in February
2007.
Even before learning of Tucker's illness I was in hopes of adding another
Sphynx to our family. They are absolutely wonderful cats. After losing
Tucker we were given the opportunity to get another kitten. When choosing
Lexi, I wasn't looking to replace Tucker. I would never attempt to replace
him and it couldn't be done. Tucker was one-of-a-kind and made us fall in
love with Sphynx. Tucker was and Jasmine is black with stunning golden
eyes. Lexi being white with captivating blue eyes is completely the
opposite.
Lexi a.k.a. "Zippy" is a little firecracker! She is already spoiled
rotten. In this photo she was in need of a face wash, but the photo op was
just too good to pass up. She decided she wanted to sun herself a little
and hopped in the window sill. With the bare white skin she isn't allowed
to sit there for long, but is okay for a few minutes.
When Lexi came home to us she immediately fit right in. I was concerned
about how Jasmine would react and was pleasantly surprised. Jasmine took
right to her and began to treat her as if she was her own kitten. It was
so cute to watch. Lexi likes to play with Jazzy and is fine until she
messes with Jazzy's tail.
Lexi loves to play! She plays with anything she can find. Lexi and Jasmine
sleep with my husband and me every night. My husband has never been a cat
person and still doesn't care for a "typical cat" but he loves our Sphnyx.
Lexi had him wrapped around her paw immediately. Sphynx have a unique
personality and a person need only spend a little time around one to
become hooked. Our family will always include them. Losing Tucker was
unbearable and I hope both Lexi and Jasmine will live long lives.
