Sphynx
Sphynx cats originate in Toronto, Canada, where a genetic mutation brought about the birth of a hairless kitten. Hairless kittens were then bred with furred cats, such as the Devon Rex. The gene for hairlessness is recessive, so some offspring were hairless, while the others had fur.
Personality
Sphynx cats are curious, energetic, social, affectionate, and love people and other animals. They enjoy puzzle toys that help challenge both their brains and athleticism.
Size
Sphynx cats typically grow to 20-25cm in heigh and 33-38cm in length. They have an average weight of 4.5-5.4kg.
Care
Sphynx cat's have an average lifespan of 8 to 14 years. Sphynx cats are generally healthy cats, but they have been known to develop conditions like urticaria pigmentosa, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Sphynx cats need to have their skin moisturised with a gentle, scent-free lotion or oil. They need weekly baths with a baby shampoo or moisurising shampoo.
