What is the ideal weight for an adult Sphynx cat?

Most adult Sphynx cats are healthy between 2.7 and 5.4 kg (6–12 lb). Females tend toward the lower end of the range, males toward the upper. Body condition score is more important than a single weight number.

My Sphynx looks bony — is that normal for the breed?

Sphynx cats are naturally lean and angular, and their lack of fur means the skeletal structure is more visible than in coated breeds. However, prominent ribs or hipbones visible from a normal standing distance without any palpable fat coverage indicate underweight rather than normal breed appearance.

How do I check my Sphynx's body condition without a vet visit?

Run your fingers along the ribcage with light pressure. In an ideal-weight Sphynx (BCS 4–5/9), you should feel ribs clearly but without sharp edges. Check for a slight waist taper from above and no swinging abdominal fat pad. If uncertain, weigh your cat monthly and bring the trend to your vet.
