🏠Cat tree and sleeping setup for a Sphynx: sizes that work
Sphynx : Keep the home around 20 to 22 degrees Celsius and offer a heated or self-warming bed (20 to 50 euros) plus fleece blankets. In winter, a well-fitted cat sweater helps it stay warm without restricting movement.
In short: Medium-sized cat (3 to 5 kg), hairless or downy skin, high energy. A velcro cat, warm and clownish, constantly seeking contact and heat. Its bare skin gets oily quickly and needs regular baths; cat sweaters and igloo beds make up for its missing coat.
A cat tree scaled to the Sphynx
An active climber, the Sphynx uses height more than floor space: a stable tree rising to a commanding lookout, with 40 cm platforms, structures its vertical territory. Put it by a window: watching the world is feline television.
Beds: several, in the right spots
With no fur, the Sphynx actively seeks warmth: a radiator hammock, a snug cave bed and a blanket up high are its winter residences — and a jumper is no joke when the thermostat drops. Washable at 60°C, ideally, for parasite control.
Scratchers and retreat zones
Allow 60 cm of height for the main vertical scratcher, set by the nap spot (cats scratch on waking, fully stretched), and pair it with an inclined or flat model: your sofa will thank you. Add one quiet hideaway per cat — everyone needs somewhere to vanish unfollowed.
