What Sphynx cats are like to live with

The Sphynx is a hairless cat, though its body is covered in a fine down. The Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF), which registers pedigree cats in the UK, describes the breed as "affectionate, sociable and intelligent" and says Sphynx are very much people cats that hate being alone. It also calls them vocal, "almost to the point where you find yourselves having a two-way conversation".

Only with care. The GCCF says Sphynx are indoor cats because they burn easily in the sun, and can go out under supervision in good weather, ideally on a harness or in an enclosed garden or run.
