Canadian Hairless Cat
Hairless cats; creepy or cute?


I'm thinking of getting a hairless cat (sphinx cat, canadian hairless, whatever you want to call it). My friend breeds them and one of her cats just gave birth last night and she said (not the cat, the breeder lol) I could have one of the kittens for free. normaly she sells them for about a thousand dollars! i''ve seriously like always wanted one of these because they look so wierd and neat, but my other friend says it would be creepy. what do you think? I'm wondering if it would be wierd to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and see it lurking around. they do look pretty scary.... so would you get one? their pretty big maintenence too! you have to bathe them once a week and they cant go outside without sunscreen. I guess their skin has lots of oil on it because they dont have any hair and they get cold easily so their always snuggling and stuff.. My friend says their awesome but the other one says creepy!! help!!?!

What they lack in looks, they really do make up for in personality. The friendliest cat I've met in the span of my life was at a mom & pop record shop. The owner owns a sphynx and takes him to work with her. He willingly travels in the car with her in a pet seatbelt- THAT is how adaptable and trainable he is. I don't think he's ever met a customer he did not like. He hangs out all day in a little cat bed next to the cash register and accepts pats and treats and scritches from curious people all day long.

I wouldn't worry about what your naysayer friend thinks about hairless cats, it's your pet and ultimately your decision. Best of luck, I'm a bit jealous!

Bella Gizmos Adventures: The Hairless Sphynx Cats


$31.28


The inspirational warmth of this delightful childrens book is directed at the child who suffers from hair loss. Whether from the genetic condition, Alopecia, or from cancer treatment, hair loss for children is a traumatic experience that sets them apart from their friends and family. This wonderful story addresses the lonely feeling of sadness from the ridicule others create by pointing how Gizmo, the hairless Sphynx cat, is different, and shows the child how he learns that he is unique and rare instead of different. Then Gizmo learns that he is not alone when his Master, Jessica, brings home another hairless kitty, Bella. He learns there are other cats just like him, and the two cats become best friends. The authors wonderfully expressive illustrations bring this uplifting story to life for every child (and their friends and parents) who reads the book. Author: Pliszka, Jodi A.

Sphynx the Hairless Cats from Canada 加拿大無毛貓


Sphynx - the Facts Every Owner of This Cat Breed Should Know

In 1966 in Canada, a Domestic Shorthair gave birth to a liter of kittens with a naturally occurring mutation of hairlessness. This liter became the ancestors of today's Sphynx, created through inbreeding and crossbreeding over time. Interestingly, the same genetic mutation that causes hairlessness in a Sphynx is the same mutation that causes the curly and sometimes nearly absent coat in a Devon Rex. Oftentimes, a Devon Rex is inbred to strengthen the gene pool of the Sphynx. A Sphynx, sometimes referred to as a Canadian Hairless, is not always totally hairless; many have a fine downy coating. However, a Sphynx is the color of his skin, not his 'fur'. Contrary to popular belief, a Sphynx is not a truly hypoallergenic cat, particularly if he has a peach fuzz coating.

All Sphynx will still produce some amount of dander, the usual culprit for causing allergic reactions. However, most people with cat allergies find they are able to tolerate a Sphynx. This breed of cat is very hearty and healthy, despite its almost sickly appearance. They are muscular and slightly larger than the average cat, but do require special care due to their lack of a coat.

A Sphynx will become colder more easily than the average cat and requires the occasional bath, as they have no hair to absorb naturally occurring oils in the skin. They are also more prone to sunburn and heatstroke since they lack a protective covering. A Sphynx is a very patient and adaptable cat, making them an excellent choice for apartment dwellers and those with children or other pets. They are loyal to their families and enjoy their attention and company, which includes playing with them.

Thanks to a careful breeding program, the Sphynx breed does not suffer from any major medical concerns beyond normal health care.

There is a website that has great information on Sphynx and most other breeds of cats. It has details that pertain to a cat breeds health, grooming, living conditions, best food choices and more, the website is called: Dog And Cat Facts, and can be found at this url:
