The Sphynx Cat Has the Whole Hot Dog Bun and No Regrets

AI imagesphynxhot dog bunkitchen counter

There is no hiding this crime: the pink Sphynx is standing at the kitchen counter holding a hot dog bun in both paws, taking a big bite. Her huge ears are pulled back, her golden eyes are wide, and she looks sideways as though checking that nobody has come in. Behind her are keys, a glass of water and a crowded counter.

Sphynx cats have no coat of fur, which makes them look quite different from other cats, but they are remarkably affectionate and outgoing. They often seek warmth from their people, from sunny windowsills and from blankets. They also tend to be energetic and food-motivated, and many are known to be skilled at using their clever paws to grab things.

Bread is not toxic for cats in tiny amounts, but it is not good nutrition either. Buns can also contain onion, garlic or seasonings that are harmful. Cats need meat-based food made for their needs, so human snacks should stay out of reach. Because Sphynxes have no fur, they need regular skin care and cozy spots to stay warm, and your vet can recommend a routine that suits her.

None of that matters to her at the moment. She has the bun, she has the counter, and she has a long list of excuses. The bite is already taken, and she will deal with the consequences later.
