Sphynx
A warm, wrinkled, hairless cuddle-seeker.
The Sphynx is a hairless breed defined by warm, suede-like skin, prominent cheekbones and large ears. It arose from a natural genetic mutation in 1960s Canada and was developed through careful outcrossing. Far from aloof, it is one of the most extroverted and heat-seeking cats.

Temperamen & kepribadian
- Affectionate
- Energetic
- Mischievous
- Attention-seeking
Sphynx cats are relentlessly people-oriented, clownish and demanding of attention — they will burrow under blankets, ride on shoulders and greet guests at the door. Their high metabolism keeps them energetic and hungry, and they generally do best with company, whether human or another pet.

Perawatan bulu & harian
Lack of a coat means the skin secretes oils that would normally be absorbed by fur, so Sphynx need a weekly bath or wipe-down to prevent a greasy build-up, plus regular ear cleaning. They chill easily, need sun protection, and burn calories fast — expect a warm sweater in winter and a hearty appetite year-round.

Pertanyaan yang sering diajukan
Are Sphynx cats hypoallergenic?
No cat is truly hypoallergenic. Sphynx still produce the Fel d 1 allergen in their saliva and skin oils, so they can trigger allergies despite having no fur.
Do Sphynx cats need baths?
Yes — without fur to absorb skin oils, they need regular bathing or wiping (often weekly) to stay clean and avoid greasy skin.
