Sphynx - is a breed of cat developed through selective
breeding starting in the 1960s, known for its lack of a coat (fur), though it
is not truly hairless. The skin should have the texture of chamois, as it has a
fine layer of down. Whiskers may be present, either whole or broken, or may be
totally absent. The skin is the color their fur would be, and all the usual cat
marking patterns (solid, point, van, tabby, tortie, etc.) may be found on
Sphynx skin. Because they have no coat, they lose more body heat than coated
cats. This makes them warm to the touch as well as heat-seeking.
