Sphynx (Cat): Hairless Cats
built 278 days ago
General Description: The Sphynx appears to be a hairless cat, although it is not truly hairless. The cat should not be small or dainty. Males may be up to 25% larger as long as proper proportions are maintained. The Sphynx is sweet-tempered, lively, intelligent and above all, amenable to handling.

The Sphynx cat... called the "hairless cat", is not really hairless, but is covered with a soft, suede-like coat, which some believe make it less prone to allergens. The Sphynx is lively and playful, and needs lots of extra attention and care by its human companions.

The sphynx is a rarity in the cat world and even the animal world. It’s a naturally hairless cat. The origin of the first sphynx kitten can be traced back to a natural mutation that happened way back in the 60s

There is ... the dominant gene mutation that results in a hairless cat named Don Sphynx (Russia 1987) and the Hawaiian Hairless (or Kohana Kat). This mutation was noticed in 2002 in Hawaii. The hairlessness is different as there are no hair follicles as opposed to no hair or very little downy hair.

If you decide to get a Sphynx Cat, you probably wouldn’t want to name her Fluffy. This hairless cat is friendly, entertaining, and velvety! These felines make exceptional pets and are probably considered rock stars in the animal kingdom.
