Bathing my sphynx cat

Because of the lack of hair that would normally absorb body oils, the Sphynx needs to be bathed periodically. This is not a difficult task with a cat that has been accustomed to a bath from kittenhood and it takes no time at all to dry a Sphynx.
I give my bebe a bath about once every two weeks. Well it depends on how dirty she gets. I put her in a sink or a bath tub. Most sphnx cats dont mind a bath at all! Just be calm and gentle with your hairless cat and you will find they like their bath after washing them. I clean her ears and toenails then I clip the nails! It is best to clip the nails after the bath because that is when they are softest.

Feeding Your Sphynx Cat


I am feeding my kitten dry Nutro Kitten food. I offer her wet canned food while she is young but she doesn't seem to like it. That is a good thing since wet food is not the best for keeping their teeth clean. As a treat she enjoys Kitten Greenies which are good to keep her teeth clean. You should be sure that your cat has fresh water to drink all the time, milk is thought to give cats diarrhea so its not a good idea to give it to them.

The Sphynx Cat will require approximately 80 Kcals of food per kg of bodyweight per day. They are not prone to obesity and tend to limit their dietary requirements themselves.

Kittens should have 4 small meals a day if they are younger than 12 weeks, gradually becoming 2 meals each day if they are over 12 weeks. You can feed your cat tinned or dried food, dried is less smelly...
