Sphinxes have a very unusual and interesting appearance.
But these cats also require special care.
After all, some mistakes in caring for these pets can have a negative impact on their condition.
Cold and drafts
These hairless cats require special living conditions.
They do not like high humidity in the room. Also, cold and drafts are contraindicated for sphinxes.
Therefore, it is important to ensure that the animal does not become overcooled, otherwise this may lead to health problems.
If the room is quite cold, it is advisable to dress your pet in special clothing.
In this case, the cat's bed should be placed as far as possible from doors, drafts and radiators.
Ultraviolet and burns
Cats often like to bask in the sun. But in the case of sphinxes, in this situation, it is necessary to take into account a number of nuances.
The skin of these animals is very delicate. Therefore, ultraviolet light can harm it and cause burns.
So the time the animal spends in the sun needs to be measured and ensured to be moderate.
Nutritional errors
These cats require a lot of calories, because their accelerated metabolism may cause them to have an increased appetite.
But you shouldn't overfeed your pet. In this case, you need to keep to the limit, otherwise it can lead to obesity.
You should be careful when feeding sphinxes table food.
After all, some products are strictly contraindicated for them. In particular, this concerns salty, spicy, fatty, smoked and sweet dishes.
