Description:
The main feature of a Sphynx is its lack of a fur coat! The head of this medium sized cat resembles that of a Rex although there is no genetic relation.  The nose is short and the nose leather reflects the colour of the body. The eyes are deep set and the shape of a lemon; the eye colour should reflect the colour of the body.

Characteristics and Temperament:
The Sphynx is an outgoing cat that is very affectionate. They are very warm and soft to touch and this must one of the most appealing things about the Sphynx as to many people they are not the most attractive cats to look at.

Special Requirements:
As they have no real hair grooming is not a problem with the Spyhnx. However, because they sweat it is necessary to sponge them down regularly to remove the oily residues, otherwise sores can appear in the skin folds.
