The Sphynx or hairless cat first appeared as a genetic mutation, but has been purposefully bred since the 1960s
These cats are not completely hairless but have a fine layer of fuzz, which has been said to have a feel comparable to a chamois. They also feel warm to the touch. They also have a wrinkled appearance. They need to be bathed on occasion since they have no hair to absorb oil build up. Sphynxes should avoid direct or harsh sunlight as they can easily get sunburn.
Since they are hairless they are good for those with pet hair allergies, but not completely hypoallergenic since most allergy suffers are actually allergic to cat saliva.
Sphynxes are curious, mischievous and playful in nature.
These cats are easily cold and likes to snuggle up to a human dog, or other cat.
Kittens can go to new homes between 12-16 weeks of age. If you’re thinking to buy a kitten, please keep in mind that the hairless cat requires special care.
