A Sphynx Cat Watched the Snow Fall From a Warm Window

Raindrops and snowflakes cling to the window, and a gray, hairless Sphynx cat sits at the sill looking outside, with large ears pointing up and a lean, elegant profile. Her wrinkled skin shows in soft folds on her neck and shoulders. Behind her the room is warm and dim, with a couch and a blanket draped across the back. The snowy yard outside is gray and quiet. She watches the weather like a tiny, thoughtful statue.

Sphynx cats have little or no fur, so they feel the cold more than most cats and often seek out warm spots. They also need skin care, since oils build up on the skin without fur, and many owners give regular baths, as advised by a vet. They are social, energetic and affectionate, and love to be near people. Keep a Sphynx indoors in winter, offer soft blankets and a heated bed, and protect her skin from sunburn at sunny windows. Your vet can recommend a care routine.

A Sphynx at a window is a study in calm. She seems fascinated by the snow, as if she is imagining what it feels like. Indoors, she is warm and safe, and that is exactly how she likes it. A cozy blanket is always nearby, and the radiator is just a short hop away, should she get chilly.
