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.

My name is Bailey. My new mom adopted me from a shelter where I was left. I was only there for a hours before she came in and took me home. I have a little brother, Bandit, and a new little sister, Stormy. I still don't like Stormy. I love my sleep anywere in the house, sun tanning, clucking to the birds out the window, and waking mom up so that she can move over and share the pillow. I don't like Stormy or Rupert (mom's mom's dog) or people waking me up from my naps. I also don't like the vet he squeezes my tummy and makes me fart.
