🐈 KatzenFelis catus
✨ Wissenswertes
Despite looking naked, Sphynx cats actually have a body temperature 4°F higher than most cats — they're essentially walking hot water bottles who seek warm laps constantly.
The most famous hairless breed — warm, wrinkled skin covered in fine, peach-fuzz down. Large ears, lemon-shaped eyes, and a pot belly. Despite appearance, they're not from Egypt — they originated in Canada. Extremely affectionate, playful, and attention-seeking.
