Sphynx Care 
CLEANINGSince the sphynx doesn't have hair they are more susceptible of gathering oil and dirt on their skin. Thus, it's recommended bathing them weekly. Most sphynx owners prefer bathing their kittens in washroom or kitchen sinks using baby shampoo and warm running water. CLIPPING NAILSCare should be given to keep your cats nails clean of oils, dirt and litter debris. Take each toe and squeeze your fingers gently to extend each nail. Turn on a strong light while trimming their nails to help you see the nerves and blood vessels more clearly.EARSYour cats ears need to be cleaned periodically as they will develop wax build up if neglected. The lack of hair on their ears makes it easy for dust and oils to settle in. To begin cleaning their ears, use a few drops of ear cleaning solution and massage the base of the ear. Then, use Q-tips to remove the dirt and oils. Never go further down in to the ear than you can see. To clean around the inside of the ear use baby wipes. Cleaning your sphynxs ears should be done on a weekly basis.TEETH CLEANINGJust like humans, cats build tartar on their teeth too. You should clean your sphynxs teeth every 3-6 months depending on their diet. Dried food helps to keep their teeth clean. You can clean their teeth with a soft cloth and salty water or you can get special cat toothpaste from your nearest pet shop. An important indication when your sphynx needs their teeth clean is when they have chronic bad breath. Cleaning their teeth should only take a few minutes. VACCINATIONSIt is very important to provide your sphinx with proper vaccinations needs to ensure a healthy and expanded life for them. This is critical during the first few months of your kittens life. Since the sphinxes are more alert and aware of its surroundings, they're prone to stress more easily. Because of this, they may be susceptible to lower immunity then other cats. This is why vaccinations are an essential factor while caring for your sphinx. Kitten vaccinations should include two to three inoculations of the FVRCP vaccine starting at 7-8 weeks of age and spaced four weeks apart. A booster at 1 year is important as well.FOODThe Sphynx requires premium quality foods to maintain the proper nutrition. They generally have a higher metabolism in order to keep warm. Therefore, the proper balance of fat and protein must fuel them. Be sure to provide them with high quality food with wholesome ingredients. Canned food once or twice a day and dry food at all times. Kittens need to be fed more often. Also, fresh water must be available at all times.LITTER BOXSphynx kittens learn how to use a litter box very quickly in their early stages of life. However, if your sphynx require some assistance, try dragging his/her paws through the litter gently to simulate digging and covering. This will ease the learning process for them. Make sure that you never punish your cat for not using his litter box properly. Punishing your sphynx can lead to other behavior problems. Always keep the litter box clean. No one likes to use a dirty toilet. The litter box must be cleaned on a daily basis, regardless of the litter you use. Also, try to avoid changing the style of the litter box as this may confuse your cat.WARMTHSphynx need to be kept in a warmer temperature environment because of the lack of hair on their bodies. If people find it cold in a room then so will the sphynx. As a general rule, Sphynx cats are comfortable when we would be comfortable [naked]. The temperature level should be between 70-80 Degrees Fahrenheit. They are also indoor cats only. They are very susceptible to cold weather and insect bites with no hair to protect them.
