The sphynx

Don't be alarmed this frightful looking creature is not out to hurt you. This is the Sphynx cat, Isn't it gorgeous?
Well to begin, i can tell you're thinking Why is it hairless? 
The Sphynx appears to be a hairless cat, but it is not truly hairless. The skin texture resembles that of chamois leather. It may be covered with Wellus hair. Because the Sphynx cats have no pelt to keep them warm they huddle up against other animals and people. They even tend to cuddle up and sleep with their owners under the covers.
Even though these felines look scary, doesn't mean they can't be loved.
Never judge a book by its cover applies to these adorable cats.
Don't you go off thinking that hey i'm going to buy a hairless cat cause they look easier to take care of, WOAHHH! calm down, these cats are high maintenance when it comes to medical and grooming issues. You really have to be careful with these kitties if you're going to own one. For example, they have to be bathed every week, you cant have them out in the sun too long because they will get a sunburn, and you should cover them up when its cold outside.
These cats look easy to care for but no. You have to be very careful with them. 
And on the bright side, they're adorable, why wouldn't you want them
