Sphynx cats are truly one-of-a-kind. They tend to be a little quirky, but they are also sweet and affectionate. They thrive on closeness, crave attention, and want a special bond with you. Cuddling is one way to bond with your cat, but sometimes you just don’t have the time to curl up on the couch with your bestie. One fun, effective, and unique way to bond with your Sphynx is to wear them. Think of it like baby-wearing, but with your hairless cat! Let’s explore why wearing your Sphynx cat is one of the best ways to bond with them.
Warmth Is Comfort
Since Sphynx cats don’t have fur, they lose body heat faster than other breeds. Even though sweaters and heated blankets tend to help, your body warmth is the coziest option. Plus, when Sphynx cats are warm, it soothes them. When they start to associate that comfort with you, it’ll deepen the bond. Your cat will love the fact that you’re their own personal space heater.
Built-In Stress Relief
We all know that when life gets in the way, stress is bound to follow. Like humans, cats can become stressed, too. There are many triggers that can bring anxiety for cats, like changes in their routine, being alone a little too long, or new noises. Wearing your cat keeps them close to their favorite person, makes them feel safe, and lowers stress for them. As a bonus, having your cat close to you by wearing them can lower your stress levels, too!
The Ultimate Bonding Shortcut
Cats bond best through scent, touch, and spending time with their favorite human. Sphynx-wearing is one way to easily check all three boxes at once. By repeatedly wearing your Sphynx, you’ll build a connection, trust, and bond with your cat.
