THE PERFECT PET
If you own a Sphynx, you already know that they are smart, spunky and hilarious. Yes, Sphynx are instantly recognizable for their alien Yoda appearance. Sphynx cats are not actually naked, but they have a very fine layer of down, which is perfect to pet. They feel like velvet..so nice and soft. Our Sphynx don't have whiskers but some Sphynx can depending upon the individual cat.
THE BEHAVIOR AND ATTITUDE OF A SPHYNX
Sphynx cats are described by their owners as friendly, intelligent, extremely curious and just plain amazing. Sphynx cats act like part monkey, part puppy, part human, and part kitty. They demand to be the center of attention. They are often very playfully mischievous and purposefully clumsy, all for the fun of the owner's and visitors laughs. They are a highly curious breed, and the Sphynx cats and kittens are equal parts loving and very active.
Sphynx cats and Sphynx kittens are very athletic. Most adults can jump to the top of a seven foot door with no problem, and some kittens can jump as high as your counter between 2 and 3 months of age. They enjoy and also require fun time and exercise outlets to keep their curious minds occupied. Toys, stalking lures and tall cat trees and scratching posts help to entertain your Sphynx cat or kitten. Don't be surprised if they wake you up and want to play fetch at midnight.
The Sphynx prefer human attention but they are also happy to enjoy the company of other pets including dogs..etc. if introduced early in life.
This breed is also prone to getting chilly, so you can sometimes find your Sphynx cat hidden away in a really warm spot, under your comforter, on top of the dryer, in their favorite bed sack or simply snuggled in the middle of your bed.
GROOMING AND NUTRITION
Sphynx are so active that they are rarely in danger of becoming overweight. For the most part, Sphynx can be free-fed without concern for weight gain. Weight can be monitored with a very simple test: you should be able to feel your cats ribs, but they should not be noticeable by sight. If you can't feel them at all, your Sphynx may have packed on a few extra pounds. Feed your Sphynx a balanced diet, as recommended by your veterinarian, and adjust the calories and exercise if needed.
Not surprisingly, the hairless Sphynx requires minimal grooming. However, the skin's natural oils are on the surface with a bald cat, which means they can leave oil on your furniture. Occasional sponging and a bath once every couple weeks will help alleviate this problem. Sunbathing should limited because Sphynx can be prone to burning or melanoma with the lack of fur to protect their skin. Nails should be clipped regularly to minimize damage to household items.
