Sphynx Kittens
Some describe the Sphynx breed as a bit like marmite. You either love it or hate it. It is perhaps one of the most extraordinary breeds and also one of the most recognisable due to the cat's distinctive lack of hair. It is a common assumption that the Sphynx is a completely hairless cat however this is not true. Although their coats certainly appear hairless, they do in fact have an extremely short fine down that feels like soft suede when stroked.
Sphynx History
Although named after an ancient mythological creature (The Sphinx), the Sphynx cat pedigree is in fact a fairly modern breed only dating back to the mid 1970s. This is almost a century later than some other cat breeds such as Abyssinian and Burmese.
Hairlessness is a rare spontaneous mutation in cats, but several early attempts in the 1960s to breed hairless offspring led to fertility problems, and it wasn't until the 1970's that a successful breeding program was established in Oregon. Due to these fertility problems the Cat Fanciers Association withdrew recognition and it was only in 1998 that they officially recognised the Sphynx for registration and competition again in the miscellaneous class and 2002 that championship status was awarded.
Today's Sphynx has been bred to normal coated cats and back again many times over the last 30 years, which has resulted in a genetically robust breed that suffers few health problems or genetic defects.
Although most Cat Fanciers welcome the Sphynx breed as an interesting addition to the world of cats, it has been rather controversial. Some would argue that hairlessness is in itself a genetic defect that should not be encouraged, but others would counter that humans are similarly deficient when compared to our primate cousins, and yet we have coped well enough.
Sphynx Appearance
The first distinctive feature you will notice about the Sphynx is its serious lack of hair and wrinkly skin. They are no wrinklier than any other breed of cat but the lack of fur accentuates the wrinkles a lot more. Wrinkles are a very desirable characteristic in competitions when it comes to the Sphynx.
The Sphynx is of medium build, males tend to be slightly larger than females and they have a bit of a belly giving the appearance they have just eaten. The Sphynx has an almost heart-shaped head with the chin much narrower than the forehead and their ears are very large compared to the size of their faces. Their eyes are oval shaped and the colour depends on the colour of their coat, hazel and green are also accepted eye colours. Their coats come in a variety of shades.
Many people assume that because the Sphynx lacks a fur coat, allergic reactions will be dramatically reduced or non existent. However, this is not the case; the dander and saliva that all domestic cats have is still present in the skin of the Sphynx. It is this and not the fur that is responsible for the allergic reactions that many people suffer from. The main difference is that your Sphynx will not moult all over your house and leave the substance you are allergic to amongst the fur.
Bathing and Grooming your Sphynx
Although the Sphynx lacks a fur coat they still need to be bathed regularly to prevent oily secretions building up on their skin. It is best to get your Sphynx used to the bath at an early age because it will be something you need to do periodically to ensure your cat's coat is well maintained and doesn't cause any irritation.
Sphynx Character and Temperament
To say that the Sphynx is a lively cat is quite and understatement, they will spend hours playing and showing off to their owners in a cute and mischievous fashion. They absolutely adore human attention and demand a lot of it but are also lovable and extremely charming. They are fun to be around, always there to greet you on your return home and will snuggle up to you when you're feeling down. It is not uncommon for a Sphynx cat or kitten to curl up under the duvet with you go off to sleep.
Sphynxes tend to get on with children and other domestic animals very well and you will be surprised at just how intelligent they are. They can be trained to do 'dog-like' activities and even be toilet trained! Sphynxes are known for their large personalities and loyalty to their owners.

The typical reaction of the Sphynx being "ugly" is often a product of unfamiliarity. But, the more you look at pictures and hilarious videos on line, the less strange it looks, and the more endearing it becomes. Try it. It has taught me a lessson in how I react around people who don't match MY definition of normal. And, what's not to love about a cat that won't leave hair all over your clothes?!

I get my precious little Sphynx at the end of April. My breeder lives quite close so i am very lucky & get to spend time with him before he comes home. He's a white odd eye (One Blue Eye, One Green), and i've already names him Noodles :) He's is GORGEOUS. BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER!! We are all different in what we like & dislike, or the world would be a VERY boring place.

Love them! I have 3 Sphynx cats, 2 boys and a little girl ranging from 5-7 years old. They have beautiful natures and are great characters, very mischevious at times. If you don't like cats don't get a Sphynx as they are very in your face and attention seeking. They aren't good looking kittens only a mother would love them but as they get older they become more beautiful and really quite elegant the way they carry themselves. Very affectionate and good for a play and a cuddle, wouldn't be without mine now. If you are out at work all day and considering getting a Sphynx you will need to get 2 as they have to have company. Hope this helps!

Hello, I had a Sphynx for the past year and sadly lost him yesterday to a terrible disease. He was gone in less than a week due to kidney failure which resulted in jaundice. I miss him so much. They have the most wonderful personality, they're playful and affectionate like you've never seen it. I am thinking to get another one, not just now though as I need to get through the death of my cat first, but for those who are looking, be careful where you get from, make sure you see the parents as it's perhaps a mistake I made when i got mine.

I think they try really hard to attain attention is due to the fact that they are very unattractive, while the cute attractive cats don't care for too much attention because people give it to them alot because of their cuteness. In short= Ugly ones have to work harder.

I have a three-year-old sphinx which I looked into when I found out my cat-loving boyfriend had never owned a cat due to his hair allergies. The sphinx cat provokes no allergies, and of all the cats I've ever owned, is by far the smartest, cutest, and most affectionate one. He's also strikingly beautiful - muscular and limber, in a dark blue color that I've never seen before. Truly something to brag about - you never end the sentence with "I have a cat." There is always something more exceptional to say about them!

If people are really stupid enough to buy a pet based upon looks solely without doing research on the breed, they do not deserve a pet. The Sphynx has a great rep as a sweet and loving pet. The lack of fur only adds charm. Also, judging from some of the comments on here it would propably be accurate to note that the Spynx is more intelligent than some people.

If people are really stupid enough to buy a pet based upon looks solely without doing research on the breed, they do not deserve a pet. The Sphynx has a great rep as a sweet and loving pet. The lack of fur only adds charm. Also, judging from some of the comments on here it would propably be accurate to note that the Spynx is more intelligent than some people.

I have had cats my whole life and now I am proud to say I have 2 of these little guys. They are now almost 2 years old. They are by far the most intelligent cats I have ever owned and the sweetness factor is off the charts. Always wanting to snuggle or play. They are very needy boys. I have had several problems with their eyes and ears, but at the moment, we are good....I love my little hairless buddies!

Acquired a Sphynx 15 months ago, have had great fun with him, love his personality took him to a cat show was disappointed with comments from judges. I would not "change a hair on his head" as they say.

I am blessed to own 2 Sphynx cats and they are wonderful friends! They feel dreamy to touch and they have huge personalities. I have also had Devon and Cornish Rex cats as well... love the way they all look. Not your standard, boring, sleepy kind of a cat!

I love these cats! I don't see why people think they're ugly. I think being wrinkly is cool.It doesn't matter how it looks it's their personality which counts.

I love my cat, everyone who has seen him in a pic thought he was ugly but when they meet him in person they think he is gorgeous, even just for his personality. So meet a Sphynx before you make the call that they are ugly!!!!!

It's been my experience that people that say Sphynx are ugly haven't had the opportunity to see on in person. After the opportunity most people change their narrow view.

Stylish cat, classic ancient forms and most important - great, intelligent, people-loving personality. A gem in the cat kindom, along with devon/cornish rexes. A gift of gods

Aw! They are so cute, I love this breed. They are expensive though, and rare, which is a good thing because you don't see them out in the alley ways begging for food. Not that any cat should be home-less..........

Okay, It seems wierd, but I think its cute! Even though it dosen't have fur dosen't mean it's beautiful! I don't care if nobody agrees with me. I love cats! Fur or not!

they're so ugly...and slightly unpopular but that's a good thing because they're very loved amongst their owners. there aren't any sphynx alley cats.
