Not really exotic Despite their name and their uncanny

resemblance to the cats seen in ancient Egyptian artwork and artifacts, the sphynx actually originated in Canada, which is pretty interesting considering their lack of fur.

Higher maintenance One might think that because these particular

felines lack an abundance of fur that they are much easier to maintain.

The opposite is actually the case. The sphynx requires regular bathing to keep it’s skin from getting overly oily, which most sphynx owners will admit can leave a residue on clothes, bedding and furniture.

Their ears also require frequent cleaning to prevent waxy buildup. Also, their web-like feet and dexterous claws require cleaning to prevent dirt and other buildup from accumulating

Heat-seeking It will probably come as little surprise but the sphynx is

partial to warmth and can often be found seeking it out. Computers, heaters and other cozy spots are their favorites.

You may even find a sphynx snuggling up under the covers. In colder weather a sphynx will usually appreciate a sweater.  

Big eaters The sphynx has a reputation for having a voracious

appetite and loves to eat. This is because the sphynx has a very active

metabolism, which causes the cat to become hungry quite often

Very lovable Ask any sphynx owner and they will tell you that you

won’t find a more lovable, playful cat that enjoys frequent snuggling.

Don’t forget the sunblock Make sure to stock up on cat-friendly sunblock to help

keep your sphynx from getting sunburned. Because it loves to be warm the sphynx can often be

found basking in whatever sunny spot they can find. As a result, it is not uncommon for a sphynx to

experience sunburn, which can be prevented with good sun protection.

Don’t hesitate to consult with your veterinarian when it comes to your kitty and good skin care.
