Genetic Engineering Result

Reported by Liputan6, this cat was first bred in Canada, so it is called the Canadian Hairless. Gathered from various sources, it turns out that this cat is the result of genetic engineering from domestic short-haired cats whose birth is a natural mutation and is common in several countries such as Canada, France, Morocco, and so on. Although they appear to have no fur, if you look closely, they still have fur although it is very fine.

Can Bathe More Frequently

Caring for a Sphinx is relatively easy because they have very thin fur, so there is no need to wait long for the fur to dry. So, for example, if you want to bathe them every two days, it's not a problem. They dry quickly and it's best to bathe them using oil remover and baby shampoo. Yup, even though they don't have a lot of fur, their skin produces more oil. So if they're not bathed, dust will stick to them.

Owned by Raditya Dika

The popularity of the Sphinx increased when a local artist, Raditya Dika, was known to own this cat. It's no wonder that this cat is often owned by famous artists because it's also not cheap. One ordinary cat is priced starting from Rp 10 million - Rp 25 million.

Its Body is Warmer than Most Cats

Compared to most cats, the Sphinx has a body temperature that is 4 degrees warmer than most cats. They are also animals that love to eat because they have a high metabolism due to their love for running and being very agile.
