To
most people, hairlessness is a denial of everything
that cats are about. In cats with normal coats, the
hair regulates body temperature. The Sphynx's lack
of hair causes it to sweat and also makes it warm
to the touch. Sphynx
lovers feel this is one of the most rare and unusual
breeds in the cat fancy today…Sphynx are pure
enchantment.

History
The
gene of hairlessness has appeared as a spontaneous
mutation several times during the past century,
in well documented occurrences in Europe,
Australia and America. The most famous early
hairless cats are probably the two cats owned
by a New Mexico resident that have come to
be known as the "Hairless Mexican".
Most sources agree that the first breeding
program for hairless cats was initiated in
Canada in 1966, when a domestic shorthaired
cat produced a hairless kitten. These early
cats were at first called "The Canadian
Hairless", "Moonstone Cats" and "Canadian
Sphynx" - with time, "Sphynx" became
the official name.
The
Sphynx cats that we have today descend from
a couple of domestic shorthair farm cats
that produced a hairless kitten. The hairless
kitten named "Epidermis" was put
into a successful breeding program in Oregon.
The Sphynx cat became a recognized breed
in the mid 1970's. It is interesting, however,
that the history of the Mexican Aztecs contains
stories of a breed of hairless cats which
in winter developed a slight growth of hair
on the back and along the ridge of the tail.
Some modern Sphynxes have the same characteristics.
Breeding
programs in the United States and the Netherlands
were based on this original line but have
also continued to include hairless cats that
appeared spontaneously among domestic cats.
The Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) accepted
this unusual looking breed for registration
and competition in the Miscellaneous Class
in February 1998.
The
Sphynx breed was developed with the help
of the Devon Rex, which sometimes occur with
sparse fur. The hairlessness, so called,
because in fact the mature Sphynx has a very
short downy coat which can be felt or seen
only with difficulty, but no true eyebrows
or whiskers - which is caused by a recessive
gene. The mutation changed not only the hair
length but also the body type, so that the
Sphynx does not merely look like a domestic
cat without hair - it looks like an entirely
different species. |
