A warm, wrinkled cuddle-seeker who wants to be near you
The Sphynx is a hairless cat with a fine suede-like skin, large ears and a very people-focused nature. It craves warmth and company, and needs regular skin care because there is no coat to absorb body oils.

This breed enjoys about 45 minutes of play a day. Around 2 sitter visits a day keeps that routine going, along with fresh food, water and a clean litter tray, when work or travel gets in the way.

They have no coat to shed, but they do leave skin oil on bedding and furniture. Allergy sufferers should not assume the breed suits them, as allergens also come from saliva and skin.
They bond closely and often dislike long absences. A second pet or midday drop-in visits help a lot.
Indoor life is best, since they get cold and sunburnt easily. A secure, enclosed balcony in mild weather is a safe compromise.
