• Sphynxes are calm about the water, some of them gladly jump into the water bath to take water treatments.
• Despite the lack of wool, sphynxes tolerate cool rooms quite well, preferring to sleep in closed and warm places in winter, and hide in the cool in summer. In the summer they love to sunbathe outdoors.
