The Sphynx Baron Checked the Time and Raised an Eyebrow

Time matters to the baron, and he wants you to know it. This grey Sphynx has enormous ears, wrinkled skin, and sharp amber-green eyes. A white lace ruff rises around his neck like a cloud, and his black velvet coat has gold buttons and gold leaf embroidery. In one raised hand is an open pocket watch, its tiny gears glimmering in the candlelight. The wrinkles on his brow give him a thoughtful frown, and the lace frill around his neck is as detailed as snowflakes.

Sphynx cats are playful and outgoing, but their lack of fur means their skin needs attention. Many benefit from occasional baths to remove oil, and they should be kept warm with soft beds and blankets. They can sunburn easily, so limit time in direct sun. They also tend to eat well to stay warm, so portion control and a vet's guidance on diet are helpful. Sphynxes love company and are happiest with people nearby, so a lonely Sphynx may pick the warmest lap in the house.

Even a baron must hurry for dinner, and this one has checked the time twice. Tonight's schedule is tight: a nap, a snack, and a long cuddle. He seems pleased with every minute. A gentleman always arrives at the right time, which for a cat means whenever dinner is served.
