If you blink, you'll miss it - Deimos the greek god of dread and terror, the personification of fear... is giving me kisses. He's actually the sweetest boy and his main mission in life is to get cuddles in any way necessary. When he was a kitten, he'd try to gently bite my lip ring out of my face and my laughter would deter him. Nowadays he leaves piercings alone, but he will try and kiss you without consent.

Caring for Elf Ear and Bambino Cats: Tips and Guidelines
As beloved pets, cats have long maintained a special place in our hearts. Each breed has its own distinct characteristics and personality. Elf Ear and Bambino cats are two different feline breeds that have drawn notice due to their uncommon morphological characteristics. These breeds need specialised care because of their alluring appearances to ensure their health and wellbeing.
In this article by Sphynx World, we’ll look at the crucial advice and standards for taking good care of Elf Ear and Bambino cats.
Tumblr media
Recognising the Breeds Elf Ear Cats: Also called American Curl cats, elf ear cats are distinguished by their unusually curled-back ears that resemble the pointed points of elf ears. The warm and friendly characteristics of these endearing felines make them wonderful companions. To avoid infections and pain, however, their ears need special care.
Bambino cats are a relatively new breed of cat that are distinguished by their small legs and sparse or hairless coat. These adorable, energetic cats are little and have a kitten-like appearance all their lives. Although a distinguishing feature, their tiny legs might limit their mobility and comfort.
Tips for Caring 1. Veterinary care: Elf Ear and Bambino cats require regular trips to the vet in order to stay healthy. Due to these breeds’ distinctive characteristics, they might have certain health issues. Regular check-ups guarantee early issue diagnosis and enable rapid treatment.
2. Elf ear cats’ curled-back ears need to be cleaned frequently to prevent wax and dirt buildup. Use a wet towel or an ear cleaner that your veterinarian has prescribed to gently wipe the ears. Avoid forcing anything far into the ear canal because doing so could harm it.
3. Bambino cats’ hairless or sparse coat necessitates specific care to preserve the health of their skin. Their skin can be kept clean with regular baths using a mild cat-specific shampoo. Your veterinarian could also suggest moisturising treatments to stop dryness.
4. Nutrition: Both breeds require a balanced and suitable diet. Based on the age, activity level, and any particular health issues of the cat, consult your veterinarian to select the optimal feeding strategy. Their entire health is enhanced by proper diet, which also supports the maintenance of good skin, fur, and ears.
5. Environmental Enrichment: Use interactive toys, scratching poles, and climbing frames to keep your Bambino or Elf Ear cat mentally and physically engaged. These breeds may have high levels of energy, so it’s important to give them opportunities for play and exploration.
6. Hygiene: Regular brushing can assist Elf Ear cats avoid matts in their silky fur. Due to their lack of fur, bambino cats may need extra cleaning to avoid oil buildup on their skin. For advice on grooming procedures, go to your veterinarian.
7. Health Monitoring: Watch for any alterations in behaviour, eating patterns, or outward appearance. Effective treatment can result from early identification of potential health problems. Regularly check on their ears, skin, and general health.
8. Socialisation and Bonding: Both Bambino and Elf Ear cats are renowned for their amiable and loving personalities. Spend time with them, play with them in an engaged way, and show them loving affection. Positive exchanges deepen your relationship with your feline friend.
Tumblr media
In conclusion, unusual cat breeds like Elf Ear and Bambino cats enrich their owners’ lives with elegance and joy. Their total health and happiness depend on us giving them the right attention, love, and care. Keep in mind to speak with your vet for advice that is tailored to the specific requirements of your cat. Elf Ear and Bambino cats can flourish as cherished members of your family for many years with the correct care.

I might just be following the wrong people but it's funny (as in strange not amusing) that I don't hear about problem Fad cat breeds in quite the same way I hear about dogs (other than like Scottish folds and munchkins), am not following the right people or is it that there's just far fewer cat breeds and cat breeding being a far more recent thing
The cat fancy is considerably smaller than the dog fancy. Something in the neighborhood of 95% of all cats are what you call "randombred," meaning they aren't a defined breed or even a defined breed mix. They're "just cats," and they breed like crazy. They breed like vermin. You can get a cat for free just about anywhere and you're pretty much gonna get what you signed up for because all of them are "just a cat."
Cats are individuals of course but the breed divides are so slight and hard to notice that for most people the pickiest they get is long hair versus short hair. You're probably not going to accidentally end up with a cat way bigger than you wanted, or thats way too loud and bothers your neighbors, or that's way too mean etc.
Where with dogs if you grab a randombred puppy from a box in a Walmart parking lot when it gets a little bigger you might realize that this is an amstaff mix and it wants to kill your other dogs, or you might realize this is a newfie mix and it's 3 times bigger than you expected.
Where even among purebred cats they tend to be similar in size and shape and still act very much like cats and it can be hard to tell even purebred breeds apart. A lot of cat breeds also have approved outcrosses too so you end up with cats that are mixed anyway.
With very few exceptions it's hard to pick out a purebred cat from a lineup unless it's a very defined breed like a hairless sphynx or a curly coated rex or a rosetted bengal or an absolutely massive main coon.
Most people then, don't see a huge point to getting an expensive purebred when they can get a cat just as good and very similar in appearance for next to nothing.
That's not to say fad cats aren't a problem! Of the popular purebred cat breeds out there, there are people mill breeding them and they're super prone to chronic respiratory infections. Sphynx especially tend to have lifelong runny nose from viruses that run hard in certain catteries.
Scottish fold cats are another big one you mentioned, but the worst I see currently is "elf" cats. That is, munchkin cats with short legs being bred to everything.
I've seen people selling "civet cats" that are munchkin bengals. I also see "dwelf" hairless munchkins and hairless munchkins with the same folded ears as a scottish fold. It's all so, so stupid and these cats aren't very functional.
Luckily it's not as big as a thing but it is still, regrettably, a thing.

Just thinking with pencils again.
All the DnD I've been watching lately has gotten me on a fantasy mood, and I started to casually dig around in one of my numerous headworlds with the genre.
Nothing serious, as I still don't have things like "plot" or "story" to go with it, more just poking the worldbuilding with a stick, so to say. This is the one I dumped all my old WoW characters into years ago, and it's been long in the process of reshaping the character races to be, well, less WoW.
This time thinking of elves. This one's original incarnation was a blood elf, but I don't really think elves of this particular headworld have any reason to be pale. The setting has more of a spec evo flavor than the traditional wizard-did-it high fantasy, and since elves split from humans before the latter had populations evolve lighter skin tones for agriculture reasons (once people stopped getting enough vitamin D from their diet, they needed to evolve less pigment for their skin to manufacture more of it), I thought it might be fun to leave them with the ancestral default of darker pigment.
So this is basically just me playing with different flavours of elf skin color. I could just go the human route and leave them different shades of brown, but I kinda want to play with it a little more, to push it into less human direction. My first thought was going for whatever gray/black sphynx cats have with the kinda purpleish gray (which, note to self, that particular copic marker did not match). Another option would be to tip it right into grayscale range (did I just reinvent the drow? I might have just reinvented the drow. Dang) and with the last one, I still think quite fondly this one character design I did a while back of a half elf with point markings with temperature sensitive albinism, and I still kinda love that, so I added it to the line up (although I guess it should fade into a more pinkish than pale gray hue, but I'm just testing things).
Nothing substantial, really, just something small to play around with.

idea: sphynx cat skin?
no sphynx cat skin, sorry. I've been asked about this before but my reasons for not wanting to are twofold:
I don't have any interest in doing specific breeds of cat since it doesn't fit with the lore of my cat people (they're their own species rather than some kind of human-housecat hybrid)
without fur, a human-shaped cat is just kind of a weird elf. with a cat nose. and I'm sure someone else out there has made a cat nose skin detail or something. if it's the wrinkliness you want, there are all kinds of age overlays out there that could do the job. it's just not worth the effort of doing an entire skin set for something I won't ever use that could be achieved in other ways.
