We recommend that you trim your cat Sphinx nails every seven to ten days depending on how much to cut the nail back. We prefer regular human nail clippers. Just clip the tip of making it a bit more often, once a week before bath time. Your Sphynx cat should be resting comfortably in her lap, the floor or table. Hold a paw in one hand and press a toe pad gently to extend the claw. Notice the pink tissue (the quick) on the inside of the hoof. Avoid rapid when cut the hoof. Court in which cause pain and bleeding. Remove the sharp tip below the quick (away from the tip), cut halfway between the end of the living and tip of the nail. If your cat becomes impatient, pet and praise them and go, are like children, if you give them a break or wait until another day to finish that will become a habit of being angry and not want to end. This persistent and do the job!
TIP: Use baby wipes to clean under fingernails and any other toes of the Sphinx in all those little black things hanging dirty, especially in and around the flappy piece of skin around the area of the nail.
