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 my name is Belle. As you can see I am very cute and cuddly. I love to sit in my mom's lap and have my ears rubbed, all the time, anytime any place. My mom adopted me from the Humane Society almost 3 years ago and am I ever glad she did. I was found under the hood of a car and was so black they thought I was a black cat. I sure clean up good, don't I? I am very spoiled, have lots of toys, can sleep where I want and get lots of love and kisses. I have a big sister (a dog) who loves me and likes to play although she's getting kind of old and likes to nap a lot.
My cousins (5 cats and a dog) live downstairs and come to my house to play lots. We have great fun except sometimes the cats pick on me. Then I run and hide on the back of the toilet behind the kleenex box. They can never find me. He he! My cousin Rusty (the dog) loves to chase me up and down the hall and he always tries to lick my ears. Then I look like I just came out of the shower with my head all a mess. Anyway, I love my life! Bye for now. P.S. Vote for me. Thanks!
