About the Sphynx
The Sphynx is a medium cat breed originating in Canada (Toronto, 1966). Adult cats typically weigh 6 to 12 pounds and live 9 to 15 years. The breed is described as hairless, extroverted, warmth-seeking, attention-seeking.
Warm homes that are rarely empty. Sphynx cats are relentlessly social and will follow you from room to room. Cold or draughty homes, and anyone assuming hairless means low-maintenance. Skin oils build up without a coat to absorb them, so weekly bathing and ear cleaning replace brushing.
Adult Sphynxs need about 30 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent cats typically need 40 minutes. The coat is hairless-coated with low shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
