Sphynx cats have a high metabolism, so they require a nutritious, slightly higher-calorie diet compared to other cats. Regular, balanced meals with quality cat food are essential. Unique to their care is skin maintenance; they need weekly baths to remove body oil build-up, as they lack fur to absorb these oils. Also, due to their hairlessness, Sphynx cats require protection from extreme temperatures and sun exposure. A warm environment and sunblock (if they go outdoors) are crucial for their well-being.
