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 Foebe and I got adopted four years ago. I love to head butt anyone who would like to pet me (even when they don't know they will)! I love to go after bugs, but especially flies...it is so much fun to just jump and ketch them! I love to stretch out in the sun and sleep all day...to greet my owners when they arrive home from work.
I like to go as high as I can wherever I can....even though I am not suppose too. I also like to just curl up in front of the fireplace or when my owner puts a pillow on her lap.....prrrrr, nice and cozy!!!
But I hate it when my owner tries to cut my nails or even worse...give me a bath, brrrrrr, cold and wet!
