If you are looking for something that is a little more unique?
The Donskoy is more than your average housecat, the Don Sphynx may be the hairless cat you have been looking for. These striking cats were specially bred to be hairless for hairless cat fanciers, and they are becoming fairly popular these days. It is generally recommended that these cats be kept indoors at all times. The hairless cat does not have the same protection as other cats against both sharp objects or temperature! These cats used to be the only breed of hairless cats in existence; now, there are several other types, such as the Peterbald. Donskoy Sphynx Cats thrive on a simple, well-balanced commercial cat diet. Make sure you train your other pets not to harm your hairless cats once they enter your home. Other pets' rough play or aggression can be devastating to a Hairless Cat; they do not have the protective fur coats which protect other cats from teeth or claws and, like most cats, will not thrive under continual stress! Overall, the Donskoy Sphynx is a fascinating breed that is perfect for someone looking for something a little more exotic than the average domestic cat breed.
