Ahoy, Landlubbers and Sailors Alike!

So, you've stumbled upon my domain. I'm Crash, a majestic (and hairless) Sphynx cat who's traded land for sea. My human, a fifty-something single woman leading a rather unique life, decided a yacht was the perfect home for us, along with the two canine co-conspirators.

Apparently, I'm the first mate, but let's be real, I'm the captain around here. They're just the crew, doing my bidding. My life on the water is anything but dull, filled with salty air, sun naps, and the occasional battle with a rogue seagull.

From the open ocean to the rugged Australian outback, I'm about to embark on the greatest adventures of my nine lives. Join me and the crew as we sail, hike, cycle, kayak, camp, explore bustling cities, discover hidden country towns, and uncover everything Australia has to offer. I'll be sharing every adventure, misadventure and hilarious moment along the way.  

My registered name is Allregal Perth Wildcats, and I was born in Perth, Western Australia.  My parents are both multi-award winning show Sphynx cats with a pedigree from Europe, so I come from rather distinguished bloodlines. The Human however, I am sure was bred for paperwork, making coffee and questionable navigation. 

I am hairless... Not clueless! Sadly I cannot say the same thing for the human. It's probably a good thing I'm onboard to supervise.

No I haven't been shaved - I was born naked...... just like you. But unlike you, I can wander around in public completely naked without being arrested. 

People say I look like Mr Bigglesworth from the Austin Powers movies. While he spent his time helping Dr Evil plot world domination, I have far more important ambitions...... like commanding everyone's attention aboard the yacht. Judging by the amount of fuss made over me, I'd say my plans are progressing rather nicely. World domination can wait!

So what exactly is a Sphynx?

Despite the name, my ancestors did not come from Egypt, I don't know any Pharaohs, I have never met any mummies and I don't spend my afternoons guarding the pyramids.  The modern Sphynx breed actually began in Canada in the 1960s after a naturally occurring genetic mutation was discovered. Apparently someone though we looked a bit like the Great Sphinx of Giza and the name stuck. 

Temperament - As a breed we are affectionate, intelligent, ridiculously curious and convinced we should supervise everything humans do. If there is a cupboard door open, I will inspect it. If there is a bag on the floor, I will climb inside it. If there is fresh washing in the basket, well thanking for making my bed. 

Maintenance - Being this handsome isn't effortless. 

Unlike cats with fur, I need regular baths because my skin produces oils that don't get absorbed by fur. I also have my ears cleaned, my nails trimmed and occasionally wear clothes when it's cold and to help prevent sunburn in the summer.
