The Sphynx is a breed of cat developed through selective breeding starting in the 1960s, known for its lack of a coat (fur), though it is not truly hairless. The skin should have the texture of chamois, as it has a fine layer of down. Whiskers may be present, either whole or broken, or may be totally absent. The skin is the color their fur would be, and all the usual cat marking patterns (solid, point, van, tabby, tortie, etc.) may be found on Sphynx skin. Because they have no coat, they lose more body heat than coated cats. This makes them warm to the touch as well as heat-seeking. == Breed standards == * Wedge-shaped heads with prominent cheekbones * Large, almond-shaped eyes * Very large ears with no hair on inside, but soft down on outside base * Well-muscled, powerful neck of medium length * Medium length torso, barrel-chested, and full, round abdomen, sometimes called a pot belly * Paw pads thicker than other cats, giving the appearance of walking on cushions * Whiplike, tapering tail from body to tip, sometimes with a puff of fur on the tip, like a lion * Muscular body〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=TICA Sphynx breed standards )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sphynx cat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
