Tag: Hairless Cat

A hairless cat, also known as a Sphynx cat, is a breed of cat that is characterized by its lack of fur. While the term “hairless” might suggest that these cats are completely devoid of hair, they actually have a very fine layer of downy hair that gives them a soft, warm feeling when touched. This breed originated in Canada in the 1960s through selective breeding for the hairless trait. Sphynx cats have a unique appearance with their wrinkled skin, prominent cheekbones, and large ears. Due to their lack of fur, they require special care and attention to maintain their body temperature and skin health. They are known for being friendly, social, and affectionate pets.
