Sphynx Cat Care


Sphynx cats were officially recognized as a breed by the Cat Fanciers Association in 2002 and The International Cat Association only in 2005. There are however purebred feline registries that don’t recognize the breed because they believe that that the hairlessness of sphynx cats is a genetic abnormality. 

These “hairless” cats love to snuggle up to their humans; they are also very playful. They are exceptionally active but their exercise needs are pretty low. Even without a hair coat, these cats need regular grooming. Without any fur to absorb the oils secreted by the glands on their skin, grooming helps maintain a healthy oil balance which is important in preventing skin problems. It will also save your furniture from oil spots and stains. Oil build-up can be removed with a weekly bath. While bathing your sphynx, be sure to scrub between the wrinkles and folds all over their body. 

Any skin problem that you notice on your cat should warrant an appointment with your vet clinic Washington DC. More information here: https://metrodcvet.com/
