Category: Life with hairless cats
What is a hairless cat actually like to live with? These guides are the honest version: Sphynx cats do not shed a coat but they do leave skin oil on bedding and furniture, they are warm-seeking, extremely people-focused and often noisy, and they are not truly hypoallergenic because the Fel d 1 allergen is in saliva and skin rather than hair. We cover temperament and how well they suit families, other cats and dogs, energy levels and enrichment, the daily and weekly routine a naked cat needs, heating and bedding, travel, and the practical trade-offs that make people either adore the breed or find it too much. All of it from a household living with a cast of Sphynx and Donskoy cats every day.
