Rare Cat Breed: The Sphynx
This looks like the mummy's cat if he had one as a pet.
The Sphynx Cat was created through selective breeding back in the 1960s. Not really “hairless”, their skin is covered in fine hairs that are said to feel like chamois leather. Because of this, they lose more body heat than other cat breeds. The Sphynx is a medium-size cat. It typically weighs 6 to 12 pounds.
The Sphynx comes in all colors and patterns, including white, black, red, chocolate, lavender, various tabby patterns, tortoise shell, calico, bi-color, and pointed and mink patterns. The color is seen in the pigment of the skin as well as in whatever hair the cat has and can sometimes be hard to distinguish.
The Sphynx has been described as being more like a dog because of their friendly attitude towards strangers and they like to greet their owners at the door. They can live up to 13 to 14 years old and require a bath every 1 or 2 weeks because the oils on their body build up.

bouuuuu ugly cat....it will make me scary in the dark*
I'm not sure what i think about this cat is reallu ugly but you know you can find beauty in things not so beautiful
Right you are!
I think they smell or maybe I heard that about the hairless dog. Cats clean themselves, dogs don't
Spinx rules! The fact that they have the "invisible" fluff makes them wonderful to cuddle with! They are the softest and warmest cat you can touch! Really, they feel warmer because of the lack of thick fur. Paws up for Sphinx cutie-pies!
Hey, great pic of a cat's under paw.
Why thank you human! This is the first time someone calls my paw great...no cute, but great. Finally someone acknowledges my awesomeness. :D
