A healthy Sphynx is a happy Sphynx.

Sphynx cats need weekly baths since their skin produces oil that would normally be absorbed by fur. Prone to sunburn, they should stay out of direct sun and wear a sweater in cold weather. They're extremely social and don't do well left alone for long stretches. Otherwise, they're playful, athletic cats that love toys and climbing.
