With no whiskers, eyelashes, or fur coat, Sphynx cats don’t exactly share the characteristics commonly associated with feline friends. But what they lack in appearance, they make up for in love and playfulness!
Not that there’s anything unappealing about their striking look; these ‘hairless cats’ actually have a very thin layer of hair, which gives them a unique feeling that makes them all the more satisfying to pet.
It’s their uniqueness that convinces many families to take them home. That, and their unparalleled desire for human interaction and fun! No matter what age they reach, a Sphynx will always approach the world with a kitten-like sense of wonder, ready to pounce into new adventures, communicate with their owners, and initiate playtime at all times!
In this breed guide, we’ll explore the history of this iconic hairless cat and uncover what it takes to raise a Sphynx kitten.
