A Sphynx Cat Stands in the Milk With Her Biggest Eyes

AI imagesphynx catcaught in the actspilled milk

Milk spreads across the tile in a pale, glossy puddle, and a gray hairless Sphynx stands right in the middle with her paws wet and her huge green eyes aimed up at the camera. The big ears point forward, the wrinkled skin catching the light. A small rug and a bench sit at the edge of the room, and a spoon lies nearby, left behind by whoever last cleaned up.

Sphynx cats are famous for their lack of fur, but not for a lack of personality. They are affectionate, curious, and very people-oriented, and they tend to follow their humans around like small shadows. Because they have no coat to absorb skin oils, many need regular baths, and they like warm spots since they lose heat quickly. As for milk, most adult cats are lactose intolerant to some degree, so cow's milk can upset their stomachs. Fresh water is the better choice, and your vet can suggest safe treats if you want something special.

The tile will need a mop and the cat will need a towel, preferably a warm one. She stands there with elegant wet paws, wide-eyed and quiet, as if the milk spilled itself, which she is entirely willing to swear to. Sphynx cats do love warm laps, so the cleanup will end with a soft towel and a cuddle, and all will be forgiven.
