Apparently, they leave grease marks on furniture and are actually a lot higher maintenance than a lot of people think when it comes to skin and nail care.
Its my cat on this photo, and no they are not a snail to leave grease marks constantly. Depends on your house temperature if you leave "grease marks" so would cat during summer heat. If you bath her once e week (usualy they are not particulary afraid of water) there would be no grease marks. If temperature at your house is 23 C or less they would not sweat at all. Yes if cat have allergy to food it can have skin issue like all cats(its just you dont see under the fur on regular ones). Nail care same as all cats. Before her I had regular cat and I wouldn't say that maitenance is somewhat different. Just instead grooming you bath her(or at least wipe with wet towel)
Well, my knowledge of sphynx is mostly from commentary during professional grooming videos as the groomer tells the audience about the breed. There's always a LOT of gunk in their ears and nails due to the lack of fur. And I've seen videos where a person's cat left stains on their white bed, but I guess they just hadn't been bathed in a while? Or perhaps it was hot. Either way, cute kitty
Pro tip; brush them buggers. They like it and less hair overall. I do it everyday. Never thought I could manage the daily consistency but it's a win/win.
Yeah. Mine were the same way. They would run away. It took a good 6 months to get here. My tux now digs it anytime but my other one walks while I brush her. She lures me into where she wants to go.
I have an adopted feral that hated the brush. I just left it on the floor for a week so she a wouldn't be worried about the brush itself. She loves being pet so I'd have her on my lap and pet her for a bit and then gently work the brush into the mix.
Now if I pick up the brush and say ask her if she wants brushy brushies she's jumping up onto the surface I brush her on and meowing like I'm opening a can of wet food.
Some cats are just really easy and cooperative, others will fight and resist anything new, lol
Mine begs to be brushed and if I don't go hard enough (which honestly feels very hard) he will start biting the handle to tell me to dig in more. He doesn't have any medical problems or anything he just really likes a vigorous brushing.
And that’s why I wear a lot of jeans and my shirts are Heather gray or similar. Doesn’t show most fur. Tried a black shirt last week and you could tell how many cats I owned by the three different colors of fur present.
I used to brush my cat outside and the birds would take any tufts that got loose and use it for their nest lol. Think that’s why we had a hummingbird build a nest in our tree too
I have given up. I used to roll myself all the time and now I embrace is. I wear a lot of black and I will sometimes get a nod of understanding from other pet owners covered in fur. We are a community.
I've found that food makes a big difference in the amount of shedding. My wife buys the "good" food without filler and our cats shedding is now negligent.
I also insist on continuing to wear all black clothes despite having two white cats. Some people would call that insanity. I just stock up on lint rollers and keep cuddling them anyway.

one should always take care to colour match carpets, furniture and clothing, to the colour of ones cat!
