The Sphynx is the most recognizable truly hairless cat breed in the world. The breed originated in Ontario, Canada, in 1966, stemming from a natural genetic mutation in a domestic shorthair litter. Today, they are highly sought after for their intelligence and energetic nature.
Because of their high activity levels, they require ample mental stimulation and enrichment to prevent them from getting into trouble when left alone.
Despite being hairless, Sphynx cats actually have intensive grooming needs, requiring regular baths and specialized skin care to prevent dryness and maintain their overall skin health.
