Provide heated beds, cozy blankets, and ensure your home’s temperature is comfortable. Sphynx kittens are prone to feeling cold due to their lack of fur.
Here’s a guide to keeping your Sphynx kitten warm:
| Tip | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. Use Cozy Bedding | Provide blankets, self-warming beds, or heated cat beds to maintain warmth during naps. |
| 2. Dress in Cat-Safe Clothing | Use soft, well-fitting sweaters or shirts designed for kittens to retain body heat. |
| 3. Maintain a Warm Home | Keep the room temperature comfortable (around 70-75°F) as Sphynx kittens can get cold easily. |
| 4. Create Sunbathing Spots | Allow access to safe, sunny spots for your kitten to lounge and warm up. |
| 5. Use Heated Pads Carefully | Consider using pet-safe heated pads for extra warmth, but always supervise for safety. |
| 6. Provide Access to Your Lap | Sphynx kittens love body heat—let them snuggle with you under blankets for extra warmth. |
| 7. Monitor Temperature | Check if your kitten feels too cool by touching their ears or paws. Adjust warmth if needed. |
| 8. Avoid Drafts | Keep your kitten away from drafty windows, doors, or cold tiles that can chill them. |
