      1.  The Characteristics of a Sphynx Cat

      It was in the year of 1966 that the first Sphynx was born in Canada.  However, it became famous only after a pair of them was featured as the sidekick to the villain Dr. Evil in Austin Powers movies.  According to Cat Fanciers Association, the Sphynx is the seventh most popular breed of cat.

      The Sphynx cat is indeed a special cat that is much different from the normal cats with fur as it has minimal body hair.  In fact, based on French breed standards, these cats are part dog, part child, part monkey and part cat as no matter what geneticists say, the breed has personality traits of each animal.  However though the cats have an alien appearance, they are complete cats and have the mystic and charm, just like other cats.

      It was during the first few mating of the Sphynx cat that breeders realized that the cat’s lack of hair is attributed to a recessive gene they have.  As it takes two gene copies of the trait to express itself, and if each parent has only a copy of the recessive hairless gene, then the resulting litter will produce about one in four hairless kittens. This thus made it difficult starting a large gene pool.

      However, it was found out that this hairless gene was an incomplete dominant over the Devon Rex wavy coat gene.  This thus led to the crossing of the Sphynx, American Shorthair and Devon Rex to widen the gene pool and which provided Sphinxes’ with and without coats for more than 3 decades across the United States and Europe.

      However, the Sphynx looks hairless, its skin or parts of it are covered with a fine and practically imperceptible vestigial covering.  This covering gives a chamois feel to the skin texture.  However, the heterozygous Sphynx, which have only one copy of the hairless gene, generally has more hair than the homozygous Sphinxes’ having two copies of the gene.

      Wrinkles are very common in the Sphynx cat,  however actually they are no more wrinkled than other cats.  The absence of fur on the body just makes the wrinkles more visible and of course, makes the cat feel warm and like suede when you touch him or her.

      The absence of body fur will make you think that these cats do not produce any symptoms to those allergic to cats.  However, this is not true as though these cats do not shed
