Why is it different? Because it has some fine and soft lanugo on the ears, mouth, nose, front end of the tail, feet and other parts, other parts of the body are hairless, and the skin is wrinkled and elastic.

Canadian Hairless cats, also known as Sphynx cats, are bred for cat lovers who are allergic to cat fur.

The Canadian Hairless is docile, independent, non-aggressive and can get along with other cats and dogs.

Its habits.

Character.

The biggest feature of the sphinx is that it is honest, patient, good-natured, easy to get along with people, and very loyal to its owner.

Clean.

Hairless cats tend to lick themselves and clean their fur frequently. Hairless cats have many small, rough protrusions on their tongues to remove dirt.

Hairless cats use their tongues to lick their fur, stimulate the secretion of sebaceous glands, make the hair shiny and smooth, not easily wetted by water, and can also lick a small amount of vitamin D.

Cool down.

The body produces a lot of heat in hot weather or after exercising. To keep body temperature constant, excess heat must be removed from the body. Therefore, the hairless cat uses the tongue to smear saliva on the coat, and the evaporation of the water in the saliva can take away heat and play a cooling and antipyretic effect.

Hide feces.

The behavior of hairless cats to hide feces is entirely based on life instinct, inherited from ancestors.

The ancestors of hairless cats hid their feces in order to prevent predators from finding and tracking them from the smell of feces.

Unobscured.

Hairless cats have eyes that can take on a variety of colors. Like many carnivores, the eyes are forward-looking and have a wide field of vision. But hairless cats have poor ability to recognize three primary colors.

Living environment.

Hairless cats sweat more than other cats and their body temperature is 4°C higher than normal cats, so they need to eat constantly to maintain their metabolism. Very sensitive to sunlight as white areas tend to tan easily.

It needs the owner to find a suitable environment and maintain a certain temperature to raise it.

Feeding precautions.

Because it has no hair, it has poor temperature regulation to the outside world, and it is afraid of cold and heat.

Come summer, it's a good idea to apply sunscreen to your Sphynx cat to protect it from sunburn. In winter, you need to buy some clothes to keep warm.

But because of its very personal appearance, people's opinions differ.

Hairless cat lovers consider it the rarest cat breed, a rare treasure, but some people can't accept it.
