i'm sad that they were bred in the first place with that much care needed. Cats a meant to be wild, we shouldn't be making them more dependent, we should be making them less dependant.
@ayieshastewart They can, that is why you should bathe them about once a week. Because they don't have the hair like other cats do, the oil from the skin can't go anywhere. Also, if it is sunny and you will let your sphynx outside for a little while you should make sure the cat is protected against the sun ;3

This disgusting monster pseudo-cat is an offence to a human sense of aesthetics. How mind-wasted was who breeded it and how non-human can be someone to want such a freak of nature ?
A lot of sphynx end up in rescue because morons don't do their homework beforehand and think that sphynx cats won't aggravate their allergies. But HEY....CATS MAKE DANDER, even if they don't have fur!
@ThKiwi That's a sad thing, too. :/ My girl is lovely, I can't understand how people would just dump off a cat that they've spent so much on! Least there's technically two types of cat allergies... and my best friend has the fur allergy. He can play with my Sphynx all the time, doesn't have any problems. But when he's around cats with fur, ooh boy.
I think this is the kind of cat that a lot of people wonder why you'd buy, but once you've owned one, it seems you get hooked on the breed. They must have lovely natures.
I thought this was a very good description of the sphynx breed with one exception! My sphynx is very vocal and I've heard that the breed does tend to be vocal in general.
Great video and the breed has been described extremely well. Each sphynx is unique in its own way, but every one i've met are always incredibly affectionate, including my own.
My own sphynx Pharoah, is very vocal. He loves to say hello and always talks back lol. He is never allowed outside unattended just like the video suggests. He was attacked by a pair of youths once and shot by an air rifle. Unfortunately, there's too many people who just don't understand this wonderful breed.
The longest lived pedigree cat in the world is a Sphynx cat named Pierre born February 1, 1964 in Paris, France. He lived for 34 years, 2 months and 4 hours.
@SydneyRutledge - not sure about the unattractiveness, i think their face and body shape are amazing... i just imagine it must be odd to stroke them if there's no fur... but they seem to have adorable personalities, so i guess i wouldn't mind much if i had one... <3 cats :)
@misinterpretxx NOOO it's not odd to pet them I totally thought the SAME thing before I got mine but they aren't actually totally hairless they have a small layer of peach fuzz so they feel like petting microfiber or velvet and their natural body temp is 107 degrees F. so they are super warm to the touch it's amazing!
You don't want to use lotion on them. You can apply coconut oil to loosen dirt before washing them, but they don't need lotion because they're body produces natural oils. They are a great breed to have, lots of fun...not too much maintenance :-)
When I get older and can live by myself, this is the cat I'm going to look forward to getting. I can't wait!! I heard that at night, they love to sleep under the covers with you and cuddle up that way. Also very active and extremely cutee!!!!!!
the best cat u can get are ragdolls !!! siamese !! british shorthair bu i would recommend ragdoll friendly protective sensible good with kids affectionate and good owhtevri 1 !!! i mean evri 1
I do really want one but I already have a pretty bitch pug, and its takes to much time and moeny to look after and then when u travel or go out...it would have to wait but they are so cute
I agree I'm getting mine soon and one person priced the Shpinx $1500 dollars !!! can you believe that $1500 dollars and the lowest priced is $650. The Shpinx I'm getting is $900 dollars. I can see why someone would price it up that high they're very valuble cats very cute to don't you think
Cool video. You do at times need to clean their nails and inside of their toes too. Dirt and junk gets caught up in there. That black Sphynx is beautiful.
I love my Sphinx! She forgot to mention how smart they are - they respond when you talk to them, come when called and do what they are told, on a basic level. And boy do they like to cuddle!
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS you will die in seven days if you don't post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do, tomorrow will be the best day of your life
They are definitely active little kitties! Mine is VERY dog like, people even think he is a dog when they first meet him. I'll never have a "normal" cat again!
It is VERY important to notice that they are not meant to be left alone, not even for a couple of hours. Mine cries if I even go to the backyard and is left alone or without the dog. Once I left for 1 night and when I returned she was below the bed crying and didn´t eat or drink a zip of water. I felt so bad that now I take her with me or bring a pet sitter to stay home.
There are breeders all over the world at this point, I think the first documented Sphynx was in the 60's in Canada. I believe they also called the cat Canadian Hairless back then. Do a search on google for Sphynx wiki, you'll find quite a bit of info for sure. It's a very cool breed. Thinking about picking one up this Saturday.
The cat they show throughout the video is very cute.
