Hairless Cats – Pet tip 145
For many, just the thought of a hairless cat is enough to make them shudder. For these people, the sight of a hairless cat is shocking, and touching one is downright scary. If you are one of these people, then this article is unlikely to sway you in the other direction. However, if you are the kind of person who has always been a little bit intrigued by the unique look of hairless cats, read on. Behind their striking appearance is a fascinating background, and if you are considering making a hairless cat part of your family, there is also a plethora of information to know about the proper way to care for these beautiful creatures.
Congenital hairlessness in cats is an extremely rare trait. Essentially, a hairless cat is the result of genetic mutations in one or more of the genes which encode for normal hair development. While the word ‘mutation’ implies that this genetic condition is unwanted and accidental, there are actually many breeders who select specifically for the hairlessness trait and work to maintain the hairless lineage in their cats.

Hello, I'm Higgins.
I'm pretty laid back and nothing really seems to bother me...My brother and I are currently learning to go in the toilet. My mummy's having fun with this, and I'm doing really well!
I LOVE to be snuggled and you can pet or scratch me behind the ears and on my neck and chest, but DON'T touch my belly unless you want to playfight.
I'm an indoor cat and I'm VERY curious about outdoor things. My mummy and daddy think I used to live outdoors because I seem to know what things like birds and bugs are and I respond to them like outdoor kitties do.
For the most part, I get along well with my little brother and I love to see family and friends. I'm VERY friendly and I would probably go home with you if you asked me to come.
