Sphynx cat

Bald domestic pet

A Sphynx cat is a breed of domestic cat distinguished by its apparent hairlessness—the result of a natural genetic mutation.

The skin is warm, soft, and often wrinkled, requiring regular bathing since there's no fur to absorb body oils.

Despite their exotic appearance, Sphynx cats are known for being affectionate and energetic: The Sphynx cat climbed into my lap seeking warmth.
