Sphynx cat

Sphynx kittens and their parents at first glance, reminiscent of something similar from a family of mousy, in fact, by temperament far from such comparisons. The adult Sphynx has certain enough characteristics, namely: a body of average size, brawny, round, strong.



The backbone is relatively graceful. The chest is broad, massive, rounded belly. The limbs also have an elegant structure, but muscles strong. Front legs set wide because of the broad chest. Paws oval with long toes. The tail is long, thin, hairless, but acceptable tassel at the tip (lion's tail).


Head of medium size, slightly rounded modified wedge, not much bigger in length than in width, with prominent cheekbones and a short, powerful, well-defined rounded muzzle. The profile transition. Neck medium length, muscular. Ears very large, wide-set, wide at base, completely deprived a wool. Valid slight pubescence at the base of the outside of the ear. The eyes are large, in the shape of a lemon, set at a slight angle. The distance between them slightly greater than the width of the eye. Eye color should harmonize with the color of the skin.



Coat: the skin will have minimal invisible down; she looked like a baby's skin. Sometimes retained all the sphinxes on the nose, behind ears, may be on the tip of the tail and legs to the hock joint. And in cats, usually on testicular. And also, hair may appear on these sites and body during hormonal changes (estrus, pregnancy, lactation), inappropriate feeding and low temperature maintenance. If to speak about the thesis: "no Hair and allergies will not be", then it is not so. All because of a malicious glycoprotein is the main cause of Allergy is identified in the saliva of cats and on her skin.



From these places he is transferred to the hair that accumulates. The sphinxes in this case win that easier and more often you can wash, than regular cats. On the forehead, neck and extremities are the folds. Muzzle could be a short pubescence. Vibrissae desirable. Colours: all recognized colours. Disadvantages: too strong similarities with both Devon Rex and the Cornish Rex is a severe fault.
