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.

I just like only Mom! No Not-Moms!! I'm very handsome, as you can see, and I'm really a very nice person. Mom says I don't have a nasty bone in my whole big body; I put up with my "little sister" Althea - she likes to ambush me, and roll me right off my paws. I play with her & never growl or hiss at her. Mom says I'm the very perfect big brother. I like my treats at night before going to bed - and will wake Mom up in the morning if my breakfast is late. I like to go outside sometimes, but Mom makes me wear a harness with lots of tags to make noise - but I always come when she calls me (unless there's a Not-Mom in the yard or house!) I don't like thunder or the telephone ringing, and I hide from those noises. Mom loves me lots & lots, and I love her,too, but I sure wish she wouldn't do all that mooshy stuff like kissin' me.
