Question 1

Q: What makes Sphynx cats the perfect family pet?

Accepted Answer

Sphynx cats are known for their sociable and affectionate nature. They love cuddles, and interacting with people and other pets. The perfect, loyal family companion:)

Question 2

Q: Do Sphynx cats require a lot of grooming?

Accepted Answer

Although Sphynx cats don't shed, they do require regular bathing and ear cleaning to keep clean. The lack of fur can lead to oil build up on skin, which is why baths every 1-2 weeks will be needed. We recommend lukewarm water with a cat-safe shampoo. Fragrances and harsh chemicals should be avoided.

Question 3

Q: How should I prepare my home for my kitten?

Accepted Answer

Sphynx cats get cold more easily than other breeds, which means having some extra blankets and comfortable spots (like a cat bed) can make an ideal environment for your cat. We recommend you keep your kitten indoors, they are extra susceptible to sunburns and lack the ability to regulate temperature in the cold.

Question 4

Q: What if I am allergic to cats?

Accepted Answer

Despite popular belief that Sphynx cats are hypoallergenic, human allergies are usually to the skin on cats, not the fur. Some may be more allergic to Sphynx than other breeds. Use caution if you experience allergies with cats.
