  8. How are Sphynx cats with other pets?
    This is hard to answer. Generally, as a breed and given how affectionate they are I would say you have a better chance of a Sphynx cat getting along with other pets than a different breed of cat. But then each one is different and may or may not like any given pet or person. https://www.royaltykitten.com/

    They definitely do not like to be alone, that was one of the reasons we got two. So it is always good for them to have a buddy if you are going to be away at work all day.
