About Sphynx
Sphynx cats are perhaps the rarest and most unusual breed in the Cat Fancy today. These amazing, affectionate animals are treasured by cat lovers throughout the world. The distinguished naked, wrinkled image with beautiful eyes, huge ears and warm, silky-soft skin immediately captures one's intrigue.
What is so special about Sphynx besides their unique looks?
Awesome personality
The Sphynx personality is best described as being "part dog - part monkey - part child - part cat". These felines are extremely social. They are always wanting to be around the action and excitement. Their inquisitive, alert nature make Sphynx wonderful show cats as well as pets. They are not a one-person cat. They are extremely humorous and love to clown around.
Affectionate nature
Of all the wonderful qualities of this breed, their people-oriented nature is probably the most desirable. Our Sphynx are truly the most loving, friendly, attentive, devoted, and outgoing pets one could desire. Day or night, our naked companions are ready to cuddle up in our lap, or on our shoulder, or even snuggle up under the covers! There is never a dull moment.
Intelligence
The intelligence of the Sphynx is remarkable. It seems that they not only understand everything we say to them, but will actually mind! They love to ride in cars, and we have found that they can easily be leash trained and taught to play fetch.
Patience
Patience is another virtue that our Sphynx cats possess. They have great patience and a willingness to put up with almost anything. They are highly tolerant and never aggressive. They get along quite well with other pets, including dogs, and love to play with adults and children of all ages.
No shedding, fleas or hairballs
At long last a cat that does not shed! No brushing or combing. No hair on clothes or furniture. No hairballs, fleas or ticks. A cat without fur but very pleasing to the touch - like a warm silky peach or nectarine.
Hypoallergenic (almost!)
Many people with mild allergies, like us, find that they can happily live with a Sphynx or two!
