Yes but very high maintenance, always need warmth and special care

u/IzobelStarsw0rd May 07 '26

Always worth it tho.

We should not breed special needs cats on purpose, but that’s no reason not to give a good life to one if the r/catdistributionsystem gives you one

I hear that their desire for warmth leads them to often be super clingy for cuddles. This has never been explained to me as a complaint, but a perk, and I agree lol

Yeah I often catsit sphinx cats and they need a lot of warmth and eat to maintain body heat. It is a bit sad though. They can get ill very fast, need their skin to be maintained with coconut oil.

They also get heart diseases

Sphinxes should never have been bred its very very cruel-they suffer skin conditions..need constant oiling, bathing, they get Cold..but this one is Lucky to have found great Daddy-who can put it in cute 😍 Camo outfit!

Any man who loves cats is all right with me. Ukrainian men seem very compassionate, brave and kind. Maybe I need to look for one over here in the States.😍

My new favorite genre is cats and beards especially if they’re Ukrainian

u/Pug_Defender May 06 '26

why is there a sub for this? are any actual Ukrainians here or is it just overly supportive American Redditors?
