  1. What to Know About the Sphynx Cat If you’ve seen a Sphynx cat in person, you probably remember the experience. They’re unique pets and are characterized by their completely hairless bodies, wide-set eyes, and bat-like ears. In this article from vets Portland, OR, learn more about this fascinating cat breed. History of the Sphynx Today’s Sphynx cat originated in Toronto, Canada, in the 1960s. A pair of domestic shorthair cats there produced a hairless litter because of a random genetic mutation, and the Sphynx has been populating ever since. Today, the breed enjoys a large gene pool and these cats can be found almost anywhere. The Sphynx’s Temperament Sphynxes tend to have a high metabolic rate, so they’re high-energy, active cats. They’re very friendly, intelligent, and inquisitive, and generally make great pets for most families. They’re also good with children! The Sphynx’s Care Needs For the most part, a Sphynx cat’s care needs are the same as any other cat. However, they’ll need frequent baths to get rid of excess body oil that isn’t soaked up by fur, and they must avoid sun exposure so that they don’t get burnt. Learn more about Sphynx cats by calling your vet clinic Portland, OR. We’re here for you!
