FAQ
Q: Is his name Jimmy or Pickles?
A: His full name is James (Jimmy) "Piccolo (Pickles)" Hoffa. It's just more fun to call him Pickles.
Q: What is he?
A: Just a little boy.
Q: What breed is he?
A: "Blue Point Lykoi". Lykoi is a very broad term - both of his parents were fully haired, but Jimmy is expressing the lack of undercoat phenotype. Some of his siblings have even less hair, some have full hair.
Q: What does he feel like?
A: Somewhere between a normal cat and the Platypus Webkinz.
Q: Does he have skin problems?
A: All hairless / partially haired cats have unique needs. Lykoi, and Sphinx cats especially, are prone to acne, and require regular bathing. The less hair they have, the less they can diffuse oils over their coat. Pickles is bathed regularly and is healthy.
Lykoi and Sphinx can also be susceptible to sunburn, but despite what the packaging may say, there is no such thing as completely pet-safe sunscreen. Our solution is his funny outfits.
Q: Is he declawed?
A: No.
Q: What’s on his collar?
A: An airtag, just in case he escapes the house. We don’t let him outside without a harness, but he has been known to door dash.
