Do you dress your sphynx in clothes?

Jakes wardrobe is bigger than mine!

No.

My cat has 1 'sweater' I had bought so she could go outside and investigate the surroundings of our holiday home we were going to. It was a real struggle to get her in it and she seemed almost unable to move. So I realized she'd not a big fan of clothing and that was the first and last time she wore anything besides her harness.

Honestly, I think some kinds of clothes impede the movement of cats and make them uncomfortable. Of course I guess it depends how early you start with it and how often you make them wear it.

Clothes to keep warm (such as a sweater to go outside) I find okay. But clothes just to 'dress them up' are in my opinion quite unnecessary (not to say the ridiculous-word) .

Please do! I'm about to adopt my second and I'd like to dress them in coordinating clothes! I'm silly, I know. But I did it to my 2 sons too!!

After a bath all my kids laugh because Savannah is naked Most of the time she has a shirt or hoodie on

Folks dress their pooches in clothes. I don't see anything wrong with dressing our cats up also. Especially because Sphynx need to be kept warm Of course, as long as the clothing isn't too tight & restricting

 

[Werandra]

I don't have a Sphynx just yet, but I already have clothes for a future one!

Love the pic of Jake sitting up on your legs. Sooo cute! Nice jacket too

 

[Boonecat]

No because having a Sphynx that pretends to be dead once he's dressed is only cute for a few minutes

Savannah came to my home in her hydrant Shirt and I decided she needed some new ones.

Her Skull n Roses Hoodie

I removed the skirt LOL didnt bother her at all though

Doesn't even mind when the hoodie goes on her ears.
She loves her shirts and right now needs to be warm. Never thought I would dress my 4 legged babies

Soooo cute, Savannah

Here is a photo of Nofuratu's new improved, larger closet. It is 4 feet long. He also has a trunk full of costumes. He did have a large doll size armoir and dresser but they couldnt hold it all......I spend more on his clothes than my own...LOL...of course I buy my stuff at thrift stores......

HA, I love it!!!

I will get my baby in July and plan to dress her up. I am hoping it won't take long to train her since she will still be a baby.

Hi Mamijo,
if you start young with dressing them, they become use to it! We dod not dress ours, but many members do.

 

[deerod021]

I personally dont dress them, I like them just how they are, NAKED!

 

[skamp anders]

Mine were dressed for there trip to us, about 8 hours in a car. But they don't like it. Gillette walks like she is totally weak and can't climb or jump. Wilkinson walks normal, just doesn't like to put it on. But today she has to to make her stop licking her belly and throat. She has got dry skin and a really rough tongue, no perfect combination. I put Coco oil and clothes on her so I hope the skin will relax.

spencer is not really a clothes kind of boy. he will wear a t shirt but nothing sweater like, he licks and licks haha.

baldwin hates wearing clothes. it just sits there and will not move until i take them off him. i always have clothes on my dog though

Baldwin does look like a very serious feline

 

[Ladybug]

Ours LOVE to be dressed, I think they are much warmer and very comfortable! They run around alot more when they are clothed.

 

[Sphynxaholic]

I just put on Tyler's first sweater and at first I thought he hated it because he fell over on his side and just looked pathetic .... but... a few seconds latter he was running around like nothing was different! Now he is all snuggly laying down looking oh so happy! I THINK he likes it, I wish he could tell me so.

 

[toms4marisa]

I sure hope Dante likes to wear clothes bc i've bought enough to last him a life time. all different sizes mostly ones he can grow into and all different styles (polo/hoodie/sweater/vest/t-shirts/everything!!) I'll be sure to post pictures of him all dressed up!

 

[bthomas]

Elvis has a couple shirts and sweaters, but he is too tiny for all but his pjs. Look for the pic I posted, hilarious!

 

[Timmy & the Twins]

Timmy has to hand knit sweaters a friend made. He doesn't mind wearing them too much. He had a fleece coat but it no longer fits. I have had a terrible time finding any clothes for him. All of the dog clothes are either too short or too big. I haven't found any place near me (Michigan) that specifically sell clothes for cats. I saw pictures here on the lair of a cat in a argyle sweater vest with tie and it was the cutest thing I have ever seen. His owner said it came from Target. I've never seen anything like it at the stores in my area. Oh well, too bad! I'm sure I'll find something eventually. Until then Timmy will just have to run around buck naked. He has a flock coating so he's not really naked anyway.

I voted no for a few reasons. One is that I have a hard time finding things to fit him properly. I also worry about leaving him dressed and unsupervised. Also, he loves to burrow and has a few favorite blankets so I never worry about him being cold. I do have a little jacket that he wears when we go to the vets and he has towles and blankets to snuggle in then as well. But other than that we dont even own any clothes for him.

 

[NYYoda]

Yes,
to keep him comfortable, he has no issue to tolerate/wear it

 

[elleinad8050]

i have not dressed my sphynx to date because i havent found anything i particularly liked but i must say i am quite interested in the sphynx sweaters made here: Nikki's Nifftys by nicolesuder on Etsy

you can even special order the measurements and they arent that pricey.

 

[Crinkuls]

I sometimes put my 2 Sphynx in t-shirts if the house hasnt got to the correct temperature in the morning ie been a cold night. They dont mind at all as the breeder "jumper(sweater) trained" them before i got them. They have a few knitted jumpers in case they have to go to vets/cattery and its cold but my house is generally very warm so they dont need any clothes on at all.
