Glossary Term: Sphynx

The Sphynx is a hairless cat breed that originated in Canada in the 1960s. This breed has a unique, wrinkled appearance, with an expressive face and a muscular, lean body. Its skin is usually a light pink color, although some have dark patches.

The Sphynx is known for its intelligence and curiosity. They also have an unusually high degree of affection and sociability with humans, as well as other cats. They are also very vocal, often meowing and chirping.

These cats need more grooming than most breeds, as their skin can easily become dry. Regular bathing and moisturizing are recommended to keep their skin healthy. They also need to be regularly monitored for any skin irritation or infection.

Sphynx cats are playful and energetic and require regular exercise. They are also very active indoors and can stay entertained with toys and climbing structures. They may also enjoy going outside, but should be supervised at all times, as they do not have fur to protect them from the sun or other dangers.

The Sphynx is a unique and friendly breed that can be a great companion for those looking for an intelligent and affectionate cat. They are also a good choice for those who are looking for a low-maintenance pet that doesn't require much grooming. With plenty of love and attention, a Sphynx can make a great addition to any home.
