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.

Hi catlovers, my name is Marsha. I was rescued on a cold & wet October day with mud caked paws from a swamp road. I sleep right on top of my human Mom, even though I've been here for 13 years almost, I'm still very worried about being cast out again, which I'm promised never will happen. I love my IAMS soft cat food, hate it when it sits for more than an hour though. I like also to sit on top of the stereo as I hate cool weather. Favourite toy, my humans fingers and toes under the sheets. I've been widowed 3 times, but I'm hoping my human Dad will allow me to have another kitty husband, I miss my last big boy so much.
