I got these pictures the other day and thought I'd share. A lot of y'all were curious about how he feels and it's so hard to explain. These pics of him in the sun really show his "fur." He has down-like fur on his body, and his paws have more velvet texured fur. His face and ears have fur like on the muzzle of a horse.

Sorry it's so big, but if I made it smaller it was hard to see.




Here is a picture of him when he was a baby... when he was a little ball of wrinkles.

Dang, he is just so adorable, I can't resist him! He has made a convert out of me for Sphynxs!


I really want to rub him and see what he feels like!

He's so adorable. All wrinkley little kitten.

He looks like he is feeling better. Glad to see that. Give him hug and kisses from me and Emmers.

I also heard they feel like a warm peach, he's a cutie! That's a great picture you caught of him. Does he have whiskers? I never thought about that but I don't see any in the picture...

I was petting one girl at a show about 4 years ago . I remember her furr felt like kind of my hubby's face after not shaving for 2 days , but not as hard .

It's so hard to describe. They're really soft... like baby skin. You can't feel his fur, except on his feeties and face/ears.

If you all lived closer I'd throw a Cupid feeling party!
He'd love the attention.


No, I don't have him back yet. The breeder sent me these. I'll have him next weekend hope, hope, hopefully!

A warm peach, warm suede, warm chamois, a suede hot water bottle... this is how I hear them described as most of the time. I'd say a warm peach with less peach fuzz. I'm sure it varies as the amount of fur on them varies.

Nope, no whiskers. I saw like, little tiny whiskers one of his brothers though. They came out an itty bitty bit.

I think I missed the post where you explained why Cupid went back to the breeder.


Ah well, those are good photos!

I have come back to this thread at least half a dozen times today. Cupid is just SO adorable!! It does look like peach fuzz, I would love to be able to rub him.
And that baby picture!! He looks like a shar pei kitten! LOL

I do have one question about Cupid. Do his claws retract? (Dumb question, I know, but in the second picture it looks like he's kneading and I can't see his claws on his right paw...)

hehehe Thanks everyone...
I feel so weird showing him like this! You guys are the best.


His claws retract. If you look reaaaaally close you can see a nail there.
