My ex-girlfriend had a hairless cat. Petting it always felt like fondling my shaved scrote.

Bingo. This guy starts to smell a bit like a scrote if he goes without a bath for too long.

How often do you have to bathe them?

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It depends. He likes to run on his hamster wheel and is super active, not only that but his heated bed has him all moist and humid after a nap. A few factors like that will dictate how much litter dust gets stuck to him. We just do the smell test and a visual check every day and if he's particularly nasty we give him a bath. Not too often though as it dries out his skin a bit. I'd say once a month on average and it takes about 10 minutes.

Does he mind baths and do you have to lotion him with special lotion?

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No lotion needed as far as we can tell. He definitely doesn't like baths and will try to jump out if you don't block him but generally he just stands in the tub and complains a bit. The only thing he truly hates is when we have to clean his booty hole. Lol

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hahaha aww. Do you have to clean that often? I assumed hairless cats kept their privates clean as regular cats do.

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He does a pretty decent job of taking care of that but he definitely needs a bit of help. Gets a little crusty sometimes lol

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hahaha aww. Poor boy.
Where did you get him?

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

A breeder in Windsor, ON. Unfortunately I can't remember the name anymore.

Training her. Nice

The nose fur looks so soft ❤️

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's peach fuzz all around except for his nose and his tail. He's got a stripey little tail. Its super cute.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Come on man! You can't just say something like that and not show it!

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can kinda see it here. He's sleeping in his heated hut right now so I can't snap a better pic.

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

This one is a bit better. It really stands out in good lighting which is proving difficult to capture.

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You can see it, especially on the end of his tail.
