12 Sphynx Babies That Can Charm Even Those Who Don't Like Cats

Did you know that the natural temperature of a Sphynx’s body is actually 4 degrees warmer than that of their furry counterparts? This is why Sphynx cats can be wonderful cuddle bugs — to keep this temperature, they just love to snuggle up to their owners and hug them as often as possible. But this is not the only positive trait of these amazing kittens. Just take a look at the photos below and you’ll see everything for yourself.

Sphynxes stand out among other pets due to their lack of fur or hair—an uncommon occurrence among most mammals. These non-furry felines love to sprawl out in sunspots for warmth whenever possible. They make excellent cuddle buddies and prefer to keep warm under the covers with their owners at night. While the ancient Aztecs bred hairless cats hundreds of years ago, the sphynx cat we know today is actually a Canadian breed originating in Toronto in 1966 from a random genetic mutation leading to hairlessness. Some breeders took a liking to the hairless cat and decided to breed individuals that produced consistently hairless offspring.
