Instructions
Use warm water and be gentle when bathing your Sphynx
Most Sphynx cats don't like baths. Instead, wet a soft wash cloth with warm water and wring out the excess.
Place your cat on a sink counter, or in an empty sink, and hold him still. Be firm but gentle. If this is his first bath, he'll probably be a little nervous.
Rub the wash cloth over his skin. You should immediately notice the dirt washing away. Rub gently -- it's easy to irritate his skin. Be sure to clean his head and inside his ears. He should calm down and perhaps even purr as he grows accustomed to the warm water and loving attention.
Dry your Sphynx cat by wrapping him in a soft towel. Ideally, you should use a warm towel fresh from the dryer that will dry him and keep him warm.
Repeat this about every week or two and your Sphynx should have soft, clean skin.
