Notes: Sphynx was just the epitome of the word 'motherly', I could imagine her looking after all the other girlies in such a mum fashion. She was licky, cuddly and bruxed all the time.
After having two lumps removed, a third appeared. Eventually this became too big, and her back legs started to give way. I decided she couldn't go through the stress of another surgery at her age, so had her put to sleep.
She was such a star of the rat room (and the screen - she appeared with me on Newsround!) and will be really missed.
