OTHER INFO:​ While all cats live longer healthier lives indoors, Sphynx are strictly an indoor cat.  Some of my owners harness train their kitties for outdoor activities but it is very important to limit any sun exposure, as their skin can burn.  If you allow your cat in the yard, patio or balcony, they must be supervised at all times.  Don't underestimate their ability to jump onto a railing or follow their nose somewhere and be out of sight quickly.  Although microchipped, if your pet becomes lost, the results can be disastrous, especially in winter.  Sphynx will not survive the elements long and can be victims of predation or theft.  Sphynx can get cold, even in the home, so I run heating pads on low 24/7 for the cats to enjoy sleeping on. Don’t be surprised if your Sphynx wants to sleep with you under the covers to stay warm! Great for a cool night as they are like heating pads themselves! Some Sphynx parents like to put sweaters and other clothing on their cats. I don’t tend to do this but it’s up to and your cat if they will accept it. Contrary to some info out there, Sphynx are not hypoallergenic, however, those with allergies may do better with a Sphynx than a “hair” cat.
