Sphynx cat

Sphynx are suitable for active households as they crave human attention. Sphynx are very active and love to the centre of attention, they are not suited to people wanting a quiet docile cat. Due to their unique characteristics they do require special maintenance including a weekly routine of bathing, trimming nails and cleaning ears. Sphynx also may require extra heating during the colder months.

The Sphynx hates being alone, they need company all day long whether it’s human or another cat or a small dog. I always say that they are like lap dogs in a cat form. When they are not helping you with your daily chores, they are on top of you or all over you. They are definitely not the kind of cat that you just see when it is feeding time. When visitors come, they are the first to meet them at the door and they will take the conversation over, if you let them. If your visitors are not cat lovers, you will have to put them away, as they will only leave the visitors laps when they do some acrobatic tricks to show off for them. Do not be surprised when one of them disappears and returns with a toy mouse to play with, in the middle of the conversation.
