SPHYNX ORIGINS :

Don’t think that the Sphynx breed is caused by human genetic manipulation.

It is the pure result of nature’s magic !

In 1966, Canada (Ontario), a small naked kitten appeared in a litter of cats. This kitten, Prune, was crossed later on with it’s mother, sisters and daughters to fix the recessive naked gene (which is expressed only when both parents are carriers). Firstly, this breed was called «Moonstone Cats» and «Canadian Hairless» and finally «Sphynx».

SPHYNX LOOK :

It is often said that the Sphynx is a mixture of a cat, a dog and a monkey.

It is true that it is very surprising with all his wrinkles, large bat ears and lemon-shaped eyes !! But the biggest distinctive feature is his almost naked skin. Indeed, he often has a light down on the nose, ears and sometimes on the tail.

But the sensation of «peach skin» remains an unforgettable sensual moment...
