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.

Whiskers is one of those I will be loveable when I want to be cats. He comes into bed when I go to sleep, he starts to purr and I pet him. He likes to bite my facial piercing while I sleep, nice wake up call. He palys with Dexter (our dog) and bugs that crawl across the floor. He loves those laser pointers (we think he is stupid but he knows where it comes from). We bought a black and white carpet for the appartment to match his fur! One time he fell asleep on the water dish sooooo cute!
