Sphynx Temperament and Sphynx Care: The Sphynx cat is one of the most loving cats there are.  Even if you don't think they are the most attractive, their personality definitely will make up for it! They ride on your shoulders, curl up on your lap, walk right on your heels (just like a dog) and even sleep under the covers with you.

The Sphynx is an almost hairless cat that feels like a soft, warm, fuzzy peach.  Due to this "hairlessness", they are INDOOR ONLY cats. Outside parasites, extreme temperatures (hot or cold), and the sun will cause your Sphynx great harm, up to and including death.  Please make sure your Sphynx is a house pet for life.

Due to the "hairlessness" of the Sphynx breed, they may require a bath frequently, which they tend to tolerate quite well. Depending on the amount of fuzz they have, they can go about a week to ten days between baths. Please keep this "maintenance" issue in mind before deciding this breed is for you. In addition to baths, Sphynx require weekly ear cleaning, nail clipping, nail cleaning, eye cleaning, and lots of love. Please be aware that our contract does not allow declawing.  Declawing hurts the baby and can alter the baby's personality. Providing appropriate scratching materials and gentle training with a squirt bottle (no hitting, please) will encourage baby to only scratch where he/she is allowed.

If you take care of your Sphynx properly, feed them premium food, and love them unconditionally, they will live long, happy lives. We feed our cats and kittens Purina Pro Plan.
