what a cute kitty! i've never owned a sphinx before but i may sometime in the future (i love kitties but my fiance's mom is allergic). is there any significant way in which their care is different from the average cat?

you’re supposed to give them baths like every week or two

but they have sensitive stomachs so sometimes they have a lot of diarrhea, which they will then step in, for some reason…  so the baths kinda happen naturally  B)

also their ears need cleaning, but not like direly, so

bits of lint and whatever gets in their eyes kinda easily because they don’t have eyebrows or eyelashes either, so they will sometimes just look at you lovingly and you will look back lovingly and there will be a massive booger on their eyelid

they are definitely not outdoor cats — they’re rare and expensive so supposedly prime targets for catnapping (!), and they can get sunburn just like people

when it’s cold they need little cat sweaters, and will run away when you try to put them on

also they and clever and full of personality and will LOVE YOU because you are warm, so you will do a lot of interacting with a little bald cat
