They have the least fur covering of any other cat breed. Even brushing against a wall may cause scratches. Because they lack fur, sphynxes could get skin cancer. Cats don't tan, so they have no protection. Sphynxes have characteristically large ears and elongated bodies.
Folds appear around the main joints during movement.
The tail is rat like and swishy. The limbs are usually long, and the eyes, almond-shaped. Sphynxes are said to be the most affectionate of all cats. This is probably because they are so dependent on humans. If you want to get a sphynx, make sure your rooms are draft free and are well heated in the winter.
