Cat Coloring Pages: The Sphynx is a unique and attention-grabbing breed of cat known for its lack of fur. While it may seem like the Sphynx is completely bald, they actually have a thin layer of soft down that covers their body. This absence of fur means that their body temperature can be slightly higher than other cat breeds, making them feel warm to the touch. Due to their lack of fur, Sphynx cats require additional care to maintain their skin health, such as regular bathing to remove oils and prevent skin infections. Despite their distinct appearance, the Sphynx is not hypoallergenic as it is not the fur that causes allergies but rather the proteins found in a cat's saliva and skin. Sphynx cats are highly social and affectionate creatures that thrive on human companionship, making them ideal pets for those seeking constant affection and interaction.
