Owning a Sphynx is a bundle of work and delight. Its sparsely curly hair is unlike any other cat. It owes this peculiar feature to a recessive gene. There’s more to their hair than its unique look, it’s coated by an oily substance secreted by its skin that gives the sphynx cat its distinct greasy fur. And since its coat is sparse, most of this oil ends up on the surface of their skin giving the breed its signature greasy look. The oil helps the feline maintain a healthy skin and hair coat. But sometimes, the grease accumulates in their nail beds. The grease often ends up in furniture, posts, walls, and any surface your cat may have come into contact with. To keep your pet’s skin healthy and prevent drying, it is a good idea to consult with your local Vet clinic McHenry IL about your pet’s grooming needs.
