Rabies' vaccination may be required in your state or local area. Always watch your cat for Symptoms of Sphynx Cat Diseases.

Sphynx Diet and Feeding For Your Cats

The litter box that you provide for your Sphynx should preferably be covered, but whichever one you use be sure to keep it clean. Your cat will get unhappy if the box becomes filthy and may not use it, instead going somewhere else to the bathroom that you may not like. On a weekly basis be sure to clean the box out thoroughly and use a mixture of bleach and water to give it a sanitary scrub. This will prevent germs and bacteria from building up. When you adopt a kitten, you will need to show where you have located the box, and repeat this process several times the first day. These are intelligent animals, and they will learn quickly.

Please Note: do not use litter that contains too much DUST in order to avoid Sphynx eye allergy! "World's Best Cat Litter" is recommended for Sphynx cat litter.
