What is a photogenic cat? One that has a lush coat? Majestic whiskers? Whatever your answer is, you probably weren't thinking of Sphynxes when you read my question. But don't feel bad for them. Owners of these proud felines probably wouldn't fight you on this one.
In fact, sometimes they're even mocking their pets for not being able to take a good photo, posting their unflattering snaps online for everyone to see. Some of those kitties remind us of Dobbie from Harry Potter, some look like bats, but one thing's certain: there are a lot of Sphynxes that won't be walking down the catwalk. Modeling simply isn't for them. Continue scrolling and check out Bored Panda's collection of some of the funniest Sphynx cat photos out there.

Accidently Walked In On My Sphynx Communicating Directly With The Cat Dimension
Regardless of what you think about the way Sphynxes look, chances are you couldn't resist their personality. To say they are lively would be an understatement. These felines are true acrobats, willing to perform on everything from doorways to bookshelves.
Sphynxes are very devoted and loyal. They are known for following their humans around the house, wagging their tails almost like dogs, kneading with their padded toes, and purring with delight at the joy of simply being near their beloved owners.

However, you could say they are a bit needy. Sphynxes want their humans to appreciate their efforts and demand their owner's unconditional attention.
These kitties can also be mischievous. After all, despite their unorthodox appearance, they are still entirely cats, with all the mystery and charm that has fascinated humankind for thousands of years. While Sphynxes may not be for everyone, their unique looks and irresistible temperament have won over hearts all over the world.

Another example of a cruel breeding by f****d-up people for f****d-up people. A cat without hair isn't only suffering from a difficult to maintain body-temperature but actually is sense-restricted since their hair and whiskers are sense-organs (touch).
The special look is one thing, but another is the quality of life for this animals. I am not an expert, but a quick Google search tells me they have to stay inside due to the lack of warmth or they can get a sunburn really quick. In Germany apparently there are regions where breeding this cat is not allowed. I mean, is it really worth it to have such a "toy" for the sake of the sensation? Sure, maybe there are owners who put in a lot of time and care for those animals, but still, it feels very selfish to breed animals and know they will never have the type of life they could have.
There is absolutely NOTHING that makes these cats elegant. They look like a parody of themselves, and that alone wouldn't make me angry, but it's cruelty to breed them WITHOUT WHISKERS! Skin is an organ. It's necessary for survival. Whiskers are important for cats to explore their surroundings, because they can't see well close up. About 30 cm from them, things get sharp - closer, and it's all a blurr. It's why they need whiskers and hair. Apart from the obvious, having hair to regulate the body-temperature. Also, Sphinx need to be washed regularly or their skin will suffer. And on top of that, so many pictures here show blatantly overweight cats. No, thhey're not "cute little chonks" - they are bloated. If you, for some inexplicable reason, own a sphinx, at LEAST keep them lean and agile. There's no excuse with a naked cat - you can very clearly see that it's not "the fur" that makes them look big.
