Surviving Sphynx Cat Bath Time: A Guide

Bathing a Sphynx cat is not for the faint of heart. Imagine trying to wash a slippery, bald gremlin who is convinced you’re plotting their demise. Here’s how I get through it: First, I prep like I’m about to perform surgery—quiet room, warm water (not hot!), and a towel in the sink so my cat doesn’t panic-slide into oblivion. I use unscented cat shampoo (because apparently, baby shampoo is controversial in cat circles). The real challenge: lowering her into the water. She acts like I’m lowering her into lava. I hold her gently, mutter apologies, and try not to get clawed. I use a washcloth for her body, pay special attention to the folds (prime dirt real estate), and avoid the head—she’ll never forgive me if I get her ears wet. After rinsing, I wrap her in a towel burrito, clean her ears, and bribe her with treats. She still hates me, but at least she’s clean. #SphynxCat #CatBath #PetCare #Pets #Cats
