The Sphynx is a medium sized, strong cat. The adult males are larger than adult females. Sphynx have good muscle development and should have a bit of a pot belly. Their facial expression is friendly and open eyed.
Sphynx love to be the center of attention.They prefer human companionship over other animals. Due to the lack of hair that would absorb natural body oils, the Sphynx need periodic bathing and ear cleaning. It is said people who suffer allergies to cat dander can tolerate living with Sphynx cats. However, depending on the type and severity of the allergic reactions, there are still people who cannot live with this breed.

Pricing on Sphynx varies from breeder to breeder but generally the pricing on an Sphynx depends on type, applicable markings and bloodlines.
Typically breeders of all breeds of kittens release their kittens somewhere between twelve and sixteen weeks of age. The reasoning behind keeping a kitten until after twelve weeks is that kittens have had their basic inoculations. This gives them time to develop the physical and social stability needed to make a smooth transition into their new environment. It is never recommended that a breeder release a kitten before twelve weeks of age as the kittens need this time to develop properly. Releasing a kitten prior to twelve weeks of age is against the law in many states. It is also recommended that you keep all pedigreed cats and kittens indoors and that they be spayed or neutered. Cats and kittens of all ages also need suitable surfaces for scratching, such as scratching posts. Scratching is a natural behavior of the cat breed and declawing a cat is not recommended and is not accepted by the Cat Fanciers Association.
