Sphinx body language ~ Sphinxes share a lot of characteristics with both cats and humans. Generally they tend to act more like humans, but there are lots of cat body language that works into everday life. Here is several examples of Sphinx body language: Swishing your tail in wide swaths shows aggresion and anger, a good sign to get out of a Sphinxes way. Purring is a common sign of happiness and contentment. An affectionate Sphinx greating is rubbing their cheeks or shoulders against each other, harking back to the days of exchanging scents. Shaking your paws (like if you were shaking off drops of water) is a common sign of disgust. Moving your ears forward is a sign of interest, and moving them back is the opposite. Moving them as far back as possible or flattening them is the equivilant of a frown or glare. Lots of these traits are more reflex then thought out though they can be forced, in both directions (purring when you see someone you don't like to hide the fact, or swishing your tail to display anger at someone, when your really afraid and would rather curl your tail in and run)
Sphinx Diet part 2 ~ Beer is a common drink for Sphinxes, both young and old, rich and poor and is considered a staple, drunk by almost everyone every day. Sphinx beer is quite a bit different then common modern varieties. Its is only very mildly acoholic and quite cloudy with a high solid content. Nutritionally it is quite hearty, almost like a gruel or a liquid bread containing many essential nutrients and vitamins. There are stronger versions of beer that tend to be more expensive and usually reserved for older Sphinxes (not children!) as well as some very expensive anre rarer wines. Milk is much more common in the world of Khemit then it was in that of the ancient Egyptians (though they did drink milk in small amounts). Large domestic herds of goats and cows are kept for the purpose and there is always a demand for more milk and cream making it a little bit expensive. Most families can afford at least some milk but not many peasants taste it more then once or twice a week.
