Question i have two sphynx cats, almost 1 yr old. we've had them about 4 mo. we have a blue female and pink male. they are fun and loving kitties. lately, they have been nothing but trouble. we have a water bottle that we squirt them with when they get into things, but its been worse lately. they will run away from the water, then 2 min later they're back at it again. they're getting into more things than ever before. they get lots of attention, have tons of toys and things to keep them entertained. most of the day, every day, there is someone home to play with them and keep them company. i dont know what to do or how to get them to behave better.
Answer I'm not an expert on Sphynxes (you can go onto the Yahoo webgroups for cat breed specific forums, where breeders and owners can help you with specifics), but my first reaction would be that the kittens (since they're barely out of kittenhood) think you're playing with them, even with the water. One of my cats will join me in the tub, so the water bottle training thing never worked....
Could you be more specific regarding what they are doing? Since there are two of them, I'm assuming they seem to be joining forces to slowly drive the household insane (the real goal of most cats, BTW.....)
Let me know more, and perhaps we can figure out how to outsmart those nekkid little ones....
