Canadian Sphynx
Hairless heat-seeker that cuddles like a hot-water bottle
No fur, all love: Sphynx cats are warm, clownish, and glued to their people — ideal for mildly sensitive homes (no cat is fully allergen-free). Needs weekly baths, ear cleaning, and sweaters in winter.

Lacking an insulating fur coat, Sphynx cats burn rapid calories staying warm; natural pure wool caves reflect natural body heat to prevent hypothermic stress.
Without hair to absorb natural dermal oils, sebum accumulates on a Sphynx's skin and causes acne or brown marks unless gently wiped weekly.
Sphynx cats have exposed, delicate skin sensitive to indoor breezes, sunburn, and scrapes; breathable tagless cotton pullovers provide vital daily warmth.
