Hairless sphynx is a very special catbreed. People have strong opinions about sphynx because of the alien-look,
but when one has met a sphynx in person, it`s impossible not to like this breed.
Sphynx is a loving, social, curious and energic cat and is easy to take care of. They say that a sphynx is a mix of cats,
dogs, children and monkeys and it is absolutely true!
One of the questions most asked is "Don't they get cold?" Well, of course, if it is too cold for you it will be too cold
for a hairless cat too. However, these cats are smart enough to find a warm human, dog or cat to curl up with or
they will get under your bed covers. Because of the lack of hair that would normally absorb body oils, the Sphynx
needs to be bathed periodically. This is not a difficult task with a cat that has been accustomed to a bath from
kittenhood and it takes no time at all to dry a Sphynx. Some people who suffer from cat allergies can tolerate living
with Sphynx cats. However, depending on the type and severity of the individual's allergic reactions, there are
still people who can not live with this breed. |
