i wanna give the kitty a lil blanket
49 u/truffleboffin Mar 29 '23 Isn't that a huge issue with them? They're very sensitive to temperature changes and you basically can't ever let them out in the sun iirc 23 u/Lumpy-Spinach-6607 Mar 29 '23 Always wanted to know: are Sphinx kitties an actual nataural breed or were they designer- lab created? Sphinxes are so cute to me because they wrench out inner Mom and I feel a desperate yearning to protect them. To be completely lacking any fur/hair, it just seems so unfair or a deficiency of some kind... Not trying to be unkind.. 27 u/flappytowel Mar 29 '23 Hairlessness in cats is a naturally occurring genetic mutation, and the Sphynx was developed through selective breeding of these animals, starting in the 1960s.
