Sphynx

Though rare, it has recently become one of the most in-demand cats in the U.S. The Sphynx is definitely a “people cat”. They are energetic, silly and playful, and love to be the center of attention. The Sphynx is not an outdoor cat. Because their skin is exposed, Sphynx cats need to be protected from the elements. That doesn’t mean they can’t go outside; just that they should not live outdoors.

This aline-like feline is rare, but at this moment it is one of the most wanted cats in the US. People love them not only for their looks but also because they are very affectionate and adore being the center of attention. They are also playful, acrobatic, and have a silly sense of humor.

One thing you should know now about sphynxes is that you can’t keep them outdoors. They are indoor-only cats since their lack of hair puts their lives in danger if they are left outside.
