Where are our Sphynx lovers at?
These cats are definitely more dog like with their affection, friendliness, and craving of human companionship.
However, please do your research before purchasing one and only purchase from a reputable breeder that provides health scans and information from both parents, or rescuing one.
They can accrue very high veterinary bills due to HCM, which is Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. This heart condition causes the walls of the heart to thicken and make it harder to pump blood. This condition is very serious and cannot go untreated and monitored once diagnosed. 
They require routine nail trims as they have no fur between their toe beans to help prevent their nails from injuring themselves.
They also can be very picky on which litter they prefer, as many litters get stuck between their toe beans and are uncomfortable for them.
Due to also not liking litter stuck between their toe beans, they also don’t always bury their business, so investing in a self cleaning cat box is key.
They also produce skin oils, that can leave residue on blankets and other items that they come in contact with, which would require more loads of laundry, and also require occasional cleaning of their skin.
They also need routine ear cleanings due to buildup.
You’re also going to incur higher heating costs, at the as these cats need to be kept warmer.
And, NEVER let your sphinx outside, unless it is in a fully enclosed patio, and you have taken steps to properly protect their skin from the sun.
Enjoy these pictures of our rescue Sphynx, Meeko. These cats do make amazing companions even though they are high maintenance.
