Temperament and daily life
Outgoing, warm-seeking and very social. Sphynx cats are playful and need company and interaction.
Health to keep an eye on
Hairlessness is commonly associated with skin problems, sunburn and cold sensitivity, and some lines with heart disease. Warmth and skin care are needed.
Coat and grooming
No coat, but skin produces oils that need regular bathing; keep ears clean and protect from cold and sun.
Best suited to
Owners who are home often and will commit to skin care and warmth.
General tendencies only: every animal is an individual. Health notes are not a diagnosis; ask your vet about your own pet.

PatiTools estimates for a healthy adult in ideal condition at the breed's typical weight range, normal activity and neutered, using about 3.6 kcal per gram of dry food. Your pet may need more or less: ask your vet.
General guidance, not a clinical standard: we found no veterinary guideline that sets exact minutes. Adjust to your pet's fitness, age and health, and follow your vet's advice.
