Sphynx Cats/kittens

[GhiaX]

Is there anything I need to know about these little strange cats.

Would they get cold outside in the UK winter, would they need to be kept indoors or have a little coat on them when they go out?

I know they are not everyone's cup of tea but I think they look lovely.

While Sphynx cats lack a coat to shed or groom, they are not maintenance free. Body oils, which would normally be absorbed by the hair, tend to build up on the skin. As a result, regular cleaning (usually in the form of bathing) is necessary; one bath a week is usually sufficient. Care should be taken to limit the Sphynx cat's exposure to outdoor sunlight at length, as they can develop sunburn and skin damage similar to that of humans. In general, Sphynx cats should never be allowed outdoors unattended, as they have limited means to conserve body heat when it is cold. In some cases, owners will dress their cats in pet-sized coats in the winter to help them conserve body heat. Their curious nature can take them into dangerous places or situations.

Ghiax I've got a sphynx called Indy. I got him at thirteen weeks old.He cost me back in 2006 just under a grand. He's a lovely cat very intelligent loves to play and adores my 4yr old lad. I shower him once a week. I use whatever I use in the shower so lynx africa,dove body wash etc he eats anything and goes out. He loves playing in the snow. If you get a kitten then they are very easy to train to walk on a lead. I used to take him everywhere. Used to get lots of attention from people which was nice. The only problems that I've had is finding a vet and a catery. I tried quite a few before they would take him. Insurance issues.

and sphynx st really stinks, no matter what is fed to them.
