What a lot of great looking Sphynx and Sphinx! :)
As marvelous as The Great Sphinx is and considering what it took to construct and all of the time it continues to endure, we think we're are enjoying you 2 Sphynx more this morning! We're so glad you're back blogging!
COOL! Love the sphinxes and especiallly the SPHYNXES!!!
You are right! You guys don't need a furminator!
Adorable!!!
All four of you are quite mysterious, and quite elegant.
I think I like the Dragonheart and Merlin version the best!
That is a tough comparison - Sphynx vs. Sphinx...
Both are fantastic!
What a post, it is one of the greatest comparisons I have ever seen!
Beautiful pictures!! I like to see the Sphinx and the Sphynx :)
You guys look the best though :)
Dragonheart you are a handsome Tuxie cat, don't worry,I'm not done yet ;)
Purrs Mickey
We did not know that Sphinxes and Sphynxes were spelled differently.
You guys are much cuter than the stone guys!
aww you two are so cute!!! and you really do look regal and magnificent!
Fabulous pictures!!!!!!!
Purrsss
Abby
Dragonheart, you and Merlin are the cutest sphynxes on the planet!!
Those stone ones are very interesting... but no personality
purrrrrrr
Loved the comparisons!
Tara
Then there is Leon Spinks, but he does not have Frootbat Ears either.
Hmmmm.....after careful consideration.....while the sphinxes are interesting....I much prefer the sphynxes!
We agree with Junior - we prefer sphynxes!! Plus, how would you get a sphinx in bed to cuddle?
Wow: all those great Sphinx and Sphynx!
I am sure Bast is fine with the souvenir--she just likes to be worshipped--she is after all mostly cat.
We like the kitty version the best. Great froot bat ears!
McTitus
I nefurr saw sphynxs or sphinxs beefore. I like the kind spelld with a Y best.
We like the Great Dragonheart & Merlin the best!!! Are you getting settled again with mom & dad back home?
Don't you think the Sphinx's legs are disproportionately long to it's body? Not you guys, but those statue things...
Luf, Us
Dragonheart and Merlin win the beauty contest paws down!
We like photos 1 and 3 best. Hi, Dragonheart & Merlin.
JFF
In this case, I think the Sphynx triumph!
Oh that's a very good Froobat Friday!!
Kaze
There is some distinct differences:
The light shining throug yoyr ears and not to forget your intelligence.
PS. You can see Stompa's Easter Hollyday blog here:

We describe the way Dragonheart is sitting is that he is in the "sphinx position"! (Even cats who aren't sphynx can sit that way too!)
You are both so adorable!
Padre, Panda Bear, and Meerkat
You both have much better noses! ~Queen Snickers
I prefer the sphynx!! You two are much better looking, younger and far less dusty! Glad your humans are home safe and sound!
Those are all wonderful photos of Sphinx and Sphynx, but when it comes to a Frootbat photo, Sphynx win paws down. Maybe we should have said "Ears up"
Wowie, Dragonheart and Merlin, both of you are supergreat Sphynxes! And those are great pickshures of Sphinxes, too.
Here's a funny thing Momma wants to tell you. She had a dream last night about alla the Cat Blogosphere kitties. She dreamed we were all havin a big pawtay and she was like a chaperone or somethin. And she dreamed that she and Dragonheart gotted to be good friends, that he was real cuddly, and that she loved the feel of his skin when she petted him! Isn't that somethin? She dreams about kitties a lot but I think that's the firstest time she's dreamed about kitties we've met onna Bloggiesphere!
I hope alla you are settlin in good aftur yur beans' wunnerful trippie!
Kittyhugs and purrs from MaoMao.
What marvelous pictures, of you two handsome Sphynxes and of the two sphinxes!
I see MaoMao told you about Mom's dream. It was really something! She cuddled all kinds of Cat Blogosphere kitties, but Dragonheart was her special friend.
I think that means that we Ballicai and our Mom think you two fellows are great, and we love your blog! *smile*
Purrs and snuggles from Marilyn!
Great lesson, guys!!
Purrs,
Mr. Chen & Ollie
I wonder if that Sphinx knows the answer to the riddle of the Sphynx spontaneous mutation? I think not, proving that you and Merlin reign Supreme!
A woman's head, man's head, a ram's head, or a hawk's head...
We go for a cat's head, your head!!
We rather have a warm, purring body than a cold stone.;)
Headbutts,
~Karl & Ruis
The Sphynx's of Eygpt have nothing on you!
Thank you for sharing all the different kinds of sphynxes and sphinxes. Very cool.
