Pebbles- (and vet-) approved
The author’s hairless sphynx cat, Pebbles. Photo: Courtesy of Duncan Goodwin Six years ago, I and my then boyfriend, now husband , decided to get a cat. While we both thought of ourselves more as dog people at the time, our work schedules and the tiny apartment we shared in the East Village meant a cat just made more sense. Still, we’d met enough standoffish cats over the years to know we wanted one that maybe behaved more like a dog when it came to companionship.
The shampoo Earthbath Hypo-Allergenic Cat Shampoo, 16 oz. $15 now 47% off $8 While it maybe should have come as no surprise, perhaps the biggest difference between caring for a hairless cat and one with hair is that the former require a lot more baths. Hair helps to dissipate sweat by pulling droplets away from a cat’s body — without it, that sweat just pools on Pebbles’s skin, where it dries and leaves a dirty film on her or on our possessions.
$19 at Amazon Buy $19 at Amazon Buy The ear cleaner Virbac Epi-Otic Advanced Ear Cleaner for Dogs & Cats, 4-oz $12 We have never measured Pebbles’s ears against those on other breeds, but for such a small cat , she has some pretty big ears. Due to their size — and, again, her lack of hair — those ears can also get real gunky really quickly.
$10 at Bed Bath & Beyond Buy The clothing Love Thy Beast Tie Dye Tee, Rainbow $45 Pebbles likes clothing as much as the next animal. But the reality is that, without hair, she actually needs another layer when it gets cold. There are of course any number of animal-apparel lines, and really anything that fits comfortably and isn’t too tight to prevent movement would be fine. Most recently we got her this LoveThyBeast tee, in a size extra-small, which fits her snugly without being restrictive.
