How to Care for a Sphynx Cat in Washington’s Climate
Washington’s climate is unique—damp winters, rainy springs, and chilly evenings. Here’s how to care for your Sphynx kitten in Seattle.
Keep Them Warm
With no fur, Sphynx cats are sensitive to temperature.
Invest in:
Heated cat beds.
Soft sweaters for chilly Seattle mornings.
Cozy blankets in every room.
Bathing & Skincare
Oil buildup is natural on Sphynx skin. Bi-Weekly baths with gentle, pet-safe shampoo are a must. Wipe downs between baths help in Washington’s humid months.
Sun Protection. On rare sunny days, your Sphynx’s skin is vulnerable. Limit outdoor exposure and use pet-safe sunscreen if needed.
Nutrition
High-quality protein diets support their skin and energy levels. Hydration is especially important when indoor heating dries out the air.
