#10 It is relatively easy to instill in the Don Sphynx the skills of using the tray correctly.
Moreover, with certain perseverance, representatives of this breed can be taught to use the toilet. At first, a separate toilet seat is bought for the cat, which is placed on top of the tray, and the tray itself is installed on a pile of magazines corresponding to the height of the toilet bowl. After the animal gets used to doing its business, leaning on the seat, which can take from several days to a couple of weeks, the bulky structure is removed, giving the cat a standard toilet.
#11 The lack of fur does not make the Don Sphynx a comfortable pet yet.
Firstly, the breed has the peculiarity of sweating - yes, these pseudo-Egyptians also smell. In addition, the skin of animals gives off a brownish substance, which must be removed in time. It is recommended to bathe cats at least once every two weeks using a special shampoo for hairless pets. And since the breed is prone to skin rashes, it is useful to add decoctions of herbs (string, chamomile) to the bath. By the way, the temperature of the water for washing should be at the level of 39-40 ° C. In between bathing days, the discharge and brownish bloom from the skin of the Don Sphynx are removed with a soft cloth dipped in warm water or alcohol-free wet wipes.
#12 The Donetsk residents’ tail and spine are places where acne, pimples and boils form, so they are wiped with ph-neutral lotion.
Just do not forget to rinse the treated skin with water later, so that the cat is not tempted to lick off the "cosmetics". In general, there are a lot of sebaceous glands on the tail of the Don Sphynx, which begin to work in an enhanced mode during the puberty of the animal. So if even despite your efforts, this part of the pet's body is covered with black dots (comedones), they will have to be squeezed out. Yes, it’s unpleasant for both the owner and the cat, but it’s necessary.
