Daily Cat Lesson #2: Does My Coat Make Me Look Fat?

🐾 Daily Cat Lesson #2: Does My Coat Make Me Look Fat?



🐾 Do cats need clothes?


Usually furry cats don't, but hairless cats are one of the exceptions where clothing can actually serve a practical purpose. Sphynx cats aren't wearing sweaters just to make the rest of us look underdressed.
Without a normal fur coat, they lose body heat more easily and often appreciate extra warmth, especially in an air-conditioned house.
A soft, comfortable sweater can help a hairless cat stay cozy, provided the cat is happy wearing it and can move freely.

🐾 Why do Sphynx cats feel so warm to the touch?


They aren't necessarily running a dramatically higher temperature; without fur between your hand and their skin, you feel their body heat directly.

🐾 Why hairless doesn't mean maintenance-free?


Without fur to absorb and distribute skin oils, Sphynx cats may need regular skin and ear care.
