The Sphynx cat is an unusual breed. They are a vision of what cats are like without their fur. It does take some time to become accustomed to how they look. Is this absence of a hair coat their best asset for people with cat allergies but still want to have a pet cat? Is the Sphynx cat hypoallergenic?
It is unfortunate but no, a Sphynx cat is not hypoallergenic. Actually, coming into contact with the Sphynx’s bare skin might induce a severe allergic response. But this absence of hair might be preventing allergens from spreading throughout your home. Therefore, a Sphynx could be a good idea for people who are okay with taking specific precautions.
Usually, you will want to bathe your Sphynx once a week to get rid of the extra oil present on the animal’s skin. This is the oil that was actually supposed to be lubricating the now absent fur.
Just as well, with the absence of ear fur, Sphynx cats will tend to be producing excessive ear wax that needs to be cleaned. And should your pet be heading outdoors, sunscreen is definitely required in the summertime and a kitty sweater and booties at wintertime.
Your pet will benefit from regular health and wellness checks at your veterinary clinic Rochester NY.
