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 may be small, but I'm the boss of my house, no doubt about it. I keep an eye on everything Mom does and make sure she's doing it right! Plus, I always walk with a fabulous sense of purpose. Boy, can I make an entrance! I like to sleep right smack in the middle of the bed, so no one else can get in. But, I'll snuggle in if you're warm enough, and oh, I am so super cute! I make lots of noises everytime I change positions in bed, so that everyone will look at me and say "awwww." I love to chase my friend Belle around, pounce on her and cover her with my whole entire body! I play sort of rough, and Mom can't figure out how I don't get hurt, since I'm always flipping over or falling off of something! I spend a lot of time cleaning Belle, even though she finds this quite annoying. I like to clean Mom too - after all, you can never be toooo clean! I don't have time for all that hugging and snuggling that Mom likes to do. I've got places to go and things to do. But, anytime she wants me to give her a quick kiss, I oblige. I guess its ok, if it keeps her happy. Ok, I've gotta go make some more trouble!
