Sphynx cats are known for being affectionate, vocal, and highly intelligent—but like all cats, they thrive with proper training and socialization. Whether you’re preparing for a new kitten or managing quirky behaviors, this category offers expert tips to help your hairless companion become a confident, well-mannered family member.
At Purradox Sphynxery, we begin early training and socialization long before kittens leave for their forever homes. Our kittens are litter trained using both traditional boxes and Litter-Robots, exposed to dogs, household sounds, and daily handling to build trust and adaptability.
In this section, you’ll learn how to litter train your Sphynx, encourage positive play, prevent problem behaviors like biting or scratching, and bond with your cat using enrichment and play. We also share tips for introducing your Sphynx to other pets and keeping them mentally stimulated.
This isn’t just basic advice—it’s based on what works in real homes with real Sphynx cats. Scroll below to explore our behavior blogs, or check out our Kitten Go-Home Guide for an all-in-one overview of care, training, and transition support.
