Pictures of Cats Sphynx Pictures and Sphynx Cats Breed Informations

Sphynx or Canadian hairless cat is a breed of rare cats that are well known for its lack of coat. Although hairless cats have been around for many centuries and have been described in many parts of the world but the first successful breed was Sphynx. Due to their hairless coat, Sphynx often keep them warm by cuddling up against other animals and humans, often intending to sleep with their owners under covers.

Despite being described as hairless cats, Sphynx is not truly hairless and the skin is often covered with a very thin layer of hair. They have a sturdy and heavy body with wedge-shaped head. They are best known for their extrovert behaviors, high level of energy, intelligence, curiosity and affectionate temperaments. Sphynx come in a wide variety of colors and marking patterns. Since they do not have any coat, Sphynx cats are literally maintenance-free. However, care should be taken to ensure that they do not remain outdoors for long time, as they can easily develop sunburns.
