Author: Sudarsan Chakraborty

The sphynx is a hairless cat that has won the hearts of many. Representatives of the breed belong to the companion class. Consequently, they need attention and are entirely unlike independent cats that seek to keep a distance from humans. The animal is interaction-oriented, loves to sit on his lap, gets along quickly with other animals in the apartment, and gets along well with children, even the smallest ones.

The sphynx breed has several branches. For instance, the Canadian sphynx, dwelf, and elf. They all deserve recognition, and therefore many want to make such a little friend for themselves. The modern cattery "Hairless Galaxy" offers purchasing such a pet. Here all the cats are distinguished by excellent health and top pedigree — the foremost thing is to choose a friend to your liking.

Key qualities

Sphynxes are beautiful pets. Those who decided to purchase them made an excellent choice. These animals have the following qualities:

  • Balanced character. Sphynx cats are non-aggressive. Therefore, they calmly get along with people of all ages and animals of all sizes.

  • High intelligence. The pet easily remembers simple commands, quickly learns to use the tray and scratching post, unmistakably reacts to the change in intonation in the voice, and deftly adjusts to the owner's mood.

  • Playfulness. Sphinxes love to hunt fake mice, run after a feather on a fishing rod and play fetch.

  • Poor tolerance for loneliness. To reduce the stress of frequent separation from the owner, the sphinx needs the company of other people or animals.

How to choose a nursery to buy a Sphynx

To purchase a Sphynx, it is essential to choose a good cattery. To do this, you should better follow these tips:

  • Ask to show the family of the cat. Check pedigrees and title certificates of them. Monitor the regularity of new blood flow. Selection does not have to be linear. The close relationship of individuals can lead to degeneration of breed traits and genetic diseases.

  • Check the age at weaning. Sphynx kittens are ready to move to a new home in 3 months. They already eat solid food at this age and are accustomed to the tray, clipping, and bathing. Weaning early from the mother can trigger a range of psychological disorders and weight loss.

  • Assess the kittens' appearance and behavior. Pedigree sphynxes should be playful and agile. The skin should be free from damage and scratching. Ears should be free from excess secretions and foreign smells. Eyes should have no tear paths in the corners.

Sphynxes are delicate animals and therefore require careful care. Choosing a suitable cattery that meets all the buyer's requirements, you can safely choose the cat you like. Experts will help you select the best kitty so that she becomes a real friend for the family.
