We have been the proud owners of sphynx cats for 6 years. As many friends have said they are so ugly they are beautiful ... but naturally we don't think they are ugly at all. As much as we love our cats, we currently have 2 males, it is important to recognise that Sphynx's (or any other hairless breed) require more maintence than the average cat. They need weekly baths because they have no fur to absorb the body oils. They need weekly ear cleaning as well. They really are cuddly wonderful pets.
