Ethereal Sphynx Cattery

23/05/2026

I know we have been super quiet lately, but a lot has been going on and with three litters of kittens and cat shows, it has been a wild year so far.
These little darlings are all going home soon and the house will be quiet once more.
Can't wait to see where there adventures take them!

I don't share it often, but this is my small slice of happy. My tiny little front porch catio - and I love it so, so much!

It may not be very big, but this is my little sanctuary filled with catnip, cat toys and tiny purring bodies. My secret spot, my unwind and just breathe area, safe from the world just outside. The Sphynxies seem to like it here too, and that makes me happy.

What a wonderful ending to the 2025 show season! With the CFSA Cat of the year now behind us, it is time for some well deserved rest for humans and kitties alike. Our results:
Caspian achieved 8th place kitten
Órfhlaith placed in the top 4 Gold Entires.
And even Orion came in with a big surprise - He is now a member of the 50's club! 🥰

A great big thank you to Etrecia and her team at CFSA who made this wonderful day happen, all of the judges for selflessly offering their time and all of the exhibitors and their cats for showing up and coming together to enjoy the cats that we all love so much!
Congratulations to all the winners, runners up and every cat - unique in their own special way.

It has been a wild time for the Ethereal Sphynxies lately and it feels like this mama is just not touching ground!
So please forgive me for the tardiness in posting my dear little Órfhlaith's COTY 2025 results! (Yes, yes, I know her name is weird - it is pronounced as Orla, but her spelling is fancy.)
Just look at this stunning photo!!! Her blue really pops on this background and I can't even begin to talk about these amazing rosettes!!!
This one is special, as we don't usually have a high scoring Sphynx rosette for SACC COTY! So it was a very special surprise when we not only placed as 4th kitten, but also got this absolutely beautiful Sphynx rosette!

The scream I gave when I was silently sipping my coffee just now and mindlessly scrolling Tiktok to find a grandbaby! It took just a second to recognise this sweet little thing. EVERYONE! LOOK AT THIS CAT!!!! 😂🥰🤣

Go give Sphynxie Velaris a follow on Tiktok - he is a superstar, cuter than a button and butter could not melt in his mouth.

What a proud Sphynx-mommy I am today!
We just got notified that three of my little fairy-cats qualified for the Gauteng Top Cat, which is simultaneously the first and last show of the SACC season on 16 August. The achievements collected throughout 2025 are calculated to get the top achievers for the province, while any points collected on the day will be the first points for COTY 2026!

My babies, Swinex Black Peal's Caspian of Ethereal and Swinex Órfhlaith Esmeray of Ethereal will be going head-to-head in the kitten category on the day.
And honorable mention goes to my beautiful marshmallow, Bon Alasso Zefira of Ethereal who also got an invite this year, but who has been stepping back from the limelight all year to let her younger sister find her way.

If anyone wants to come say hi, the show will be at the Rynfield NG Church, corner of Sarel Cilliers and Moodie Streets, Rynfield, Benoni. Come support the cat fancy and see what our lives are all about, you just may like it!

Your mommy loves you more than anything my little faelings - Go forth and let your little lights shine!

It has been a while since I have had the time to post anything on Facebook really, other than sharing the occasional link, clicking a like or maybe typing a quick comment. Mainly because this year has been devoted to nursing cats back to health - first little Caspian had his ears sunburnt to crisps when we flew him home from Cape Town and then my little blue cheese cat - Órfhlaith Esmeray, (Yes, you are meant to struggle through her name, no I am not sorry) decided to test her mommy's nerves by failing her trapeze act and nearly losing her eye. Hourly drops are not fun and neither is the pain and suffering this little lady has been through with the surgery and recovery. But thanks to the wonderful doctors at JHB Animal Eye Hospital, she is right as rain now and has perfect vision to practice for her next stunt!

Despite all of the action that has been going on behind the scenes, this little lady has still performed exceptionally well at the shows that she did manage to attend. So much so that she qualified for the SACC Cat of the Year, which will be hosted at the Fairway Hotel in Randburg on 26 July. I am super excited, as this little bluecheese angel is also the only Sphynx at COTY this year, so she has a big burden on her little shoulders to represent our beloved breed in the top show of the SACC season!

Not only did she qualify for SACC's top show of the year, but we also recently got the invitation to the first SA Indie Cat show, which is going to be held in Somerset West in August. (With honorable mentions to her older brother Orion and sister Zefira who both also qualified for Indie Cat.)

All-in-all, it has been a wild ride of a show year and I am very grateful that this bout of "excitement" is finally behind us.
On to new adventures!
