I am thinking about getting a kitten from this Sphynx cat, wanting any input about this breed I can get as they are rare in my area! Thanks.

hi Mee, I have heard that they are lovely cats to keep, very affectionate..however I dont know much more about them, I did find this though on a website -
"Care and Maintenance
It is not very hard to keep Sphynxs well, but their maintenance is rather unlike to other cats.
Sphynxs sweat, their skin secrets oils to nourish the non-existent coat, so they need daily wiping with cloth and frequent bathing. But bathing is not a problem - Sphynxs don't mind it and it very easy to dry them. The ears need to be cleaned weekly. Sphynxs are not whimsy about food. But due their high metabolism Sphynxs do need more food than most other cats do. As long as they are fed well and the air temperature is comfortable for man, Sphynxs are not cold. But they like warmth and are smart enough to find it near people or under a coverlet. It would be better keep them out of draught. Of course, Sphynxs are not supposed to be kept outdoor. Besides temperature extreme, sunbeams are also hazardous for their naked skin."

I am sure you have read stuff about them already, but I thought that article was interesting.. I would go for it though
