What is a "Sphynx cat"?

The Sphynx cat, also known as the Canadian Sphynx, is a unique and distinctive breed known for its lack of fur and wrinkled skin. They have a sleek, muscular body with large ears and almond-shaped eyes that are usually a striking color, such as green or blue. The absence of fur means that their skin is visible and can be various colors and patterns, giving them a truly unique appearance. Despite their hairless appearance, Sphynx cats have a velvety soft skin that is warm to the touch. They are known for their affectionate and social nature, often seeking close contact with their human companions. Sphynx cats are highly active and playful, and they require regular grooming to keep their skin clean and healthy. They are often described as "velcro" cats, as they enjoy being close to their owners and are known to cuddle and seek warmth. Sphynx cats are also known for their extroverted personalities, often entertaining their owners with their playful antics and curiosity.
