GROOMING

Due to the lack of hair the Sphynx possess, oil, which would normally be absorbed by hair, builds up on their bodies. As a result, Sphynx cats do require weekly to monthly bathing (depending on the individual cat). Some stay cleaner than others. This is a five-minute task easily accomplished since Sphynx kittens are accustomed to bathing at an early age. Some actually enjoy their baths and will purr while being lathered up. Often times, they will jump in the tub or shower with you to play. We use Dove Body Wash and on our cats. The cut bathing time in half and help to gently exfoliate leaving their skin smooth snd soft. Care is taken not to get soap/water in their ears and eyes while bathing. Also due to the lack of hair, Sphynx cats' ears tend to build up with a brown waxy substance and require weekly to monthy cleanings (again depending on the individual cat). We use to clean our cats' ears. After putting several drops in each ear, massage the base of the ear and allow the kitty to shake his head (to loosen the debris). We then carefully use Q-tips to remove the wax. Care has to be taken not to injure their ears with the Q-tips. Never go farther down than you can see. If their ears are not kept clean, they can develop ear infections. Ear cleaning also takes only a few minutes.

 

 

TEMPERAMENT

Sphynx cats are a very lively, playful, and intelligent breed. They are extremely friendly and outgoing, always being in the mood to cuddle. Part monkey, child, and dog is probably the best way to describe them. They prefer to sleep under the covers next to their humans at night and bask in the sun during the day. They are not timid and aloof, as some cats can be. Sphynx cats are not a one-person cat; they get along with every member of the family. There is never a dull moment when you have a Sphynx cat in the house to entertain you. Because of their extremely affectionate nature, they do best in homes with other pets. They do get along with all types of pets

 

TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS

Sphynx are indoor cats. They should never be left outside unattended. As a general rule, Sphynx cats are comfortable when we would be comfortable [naked]. During the cold winter months, I provide my Sphynx cats with a heated pet bed which can be found at Drs. Foster and Smith. Sweaters can easily be made for the cats using a cut-off sleeve from an old sweater. Because Sphynx cats tend to burn more energy keeping warm, we use a high-quality food to maintain their higher metabolisms. We feed and recommend Wellness, Nature's Variety, and Science Diet Hairballfood. We feed the hairball food for the added fiber.

 


APPEARANCE

A common misconception is that the Sphynx cat is a totally hairless cat. This is not true at all. Some do have a fine down over their bodies that can be felt but not seen. The most hairless cats feel rubbery. Most Sphynx have slight hair on their nose and ears, while some have hair on their tails and feet. This hair is very fine and soft. Wrinkled skin is highly desirable, particularly around the muzzle, between the ears, and around the shoulders. They have warm, muscular bodies with large ears and lemon-shaped eyes. Their chest is well rounded with a thick, muscular neck. Sphynx males are generally larger than Sphynx females. Adult females usually weigh between 6 and 9 pounds, while males are usually between 10 and 15 pounds; however, this can vary to some extent either way.
