I just discovered how you can tell the "color" of sphynx (at the last cat show) - on the nose is a bit of fur with the color. Was asking how to tell white from cream - breeder told me look at the nose - the white ones had a tiny bit of white fur.
And yes you can tell calico/bicolor/tabby from the markings on the body - skin is usually black/pink, or blue/pink with patches. Kinda weird looking sometimes.
I've felt them - they are much warmer/hotter to the touch then ordinary cats (I think body temp is 2-3 degrees warmer). Kinda like a suede feeling to the skin. You either like the touch or you don't
What a face! She is just gorgeous. I just love the expression and her eyes!
I had the pleasure of meeting 3 sphpynx at the Dover cat show and they were amazing! I am still trying to up load the photos, but will post, eventually!
I can't say that I have ever seen a naked cat and said "oh it's so cute," but I actually thought that when I saw the picture. What a pretty cat you have!!!! I LOVE her eyes!!!!!
I had the pleasure of seeing and petting a sphynx last Saturday. It was at a pet costume contest for Alien Daze festival. I was very smitten. He was such a mellow kitty amid all the PA's, dogs, and crowd. I loved his eyes, he looked me straight back in the eye and I kinda, sorta fell in love!
He was so soft and I wanted to snuggle with him, but his mommy wasn't letting go!
