What You Need To Know About My Favorite Cat Breed

1- They are actually known as Sphynx cats or Canadian Hairless.

2- Breed began in 1966 in Toronto, Canada.

3- The first two hairless cats to mate were a mother and a son (no joke.)

4- Skin feels like Chamois leather.

5- A Sphynx cat holds the record for oldest cat ever – it lived 34 years.

6- Breeders will charge anywhere from $1200 to $1800 for a Sphynx cat.

7- The hairless cat (Mr. Bigglesworth) that appeared in the Austin Powers movies is really named Ted NudeGent.

8- The breed needs to be bathed more often because their skin gets greasy from the secretion of body oils. Regular cats use their fur to absorb this type of oil.
