Hairless cats, unlike their furry counterparts, do not have fur or undercoat that would protect their bodies from drafts and temperature changes.
Therefore, clothing is vital for sphinxes.
Below you will find 5 tips that will help you make the right choice among the variety of pet clothing offered by modern pet stores, veterinary clinics and private craftsmen.
Requirements that cat clothes must meet
1. Clothes should be selected taking into account the size of the animal. A suit or jumpsuit that is too big or too small can cause discomfort to the sphinx and will not be able to fully perform its functions.
2. If the suit has rigid elements, it is better to refuse to buy it. They restrict the cat's movements and can lead to injuries. Make sure that the clothes stretch - this will make it more comfortable for the pet.
3. In addition, you should be able to give your cat's "bow" a quick wash, since clothing gets dirty from daily excretions, and the suit should be easy to wash and dry within 1-2 hours.
4. Particular attention should be paid to the collar of the clothing. It should be loose, without laces or ribbons on the neck, since such elements increase the risk of strangulation.
5. Decorative elements must be securely attached to the fabric, and threads must not stick out so that your pet does not tear them off or swallow them.
