Sphynx or Kohana? Not sure, but it is so damn ugly, that it's cute

Sphynx4There is some disagreement about the breed, but you can’t say this hairless cat isn’t ugly.

 "Part monkey, part dog, part child and part cat."  This is how the French standard describes the temperament of a Sphynx.  I might have added "part pig" to that, as they eat anything that doesn't eat them first!  Sphynx have a high metabolism  and they burn a lot of calories keeping warm. Besides having extremely good appetites they are extremely loving, extremely playful, extremely demanding, and extremely soft.  Yes, soft!    Their skin feels like the soft down on a child's cheek.   Extremely good natured...  and did I hear someone say "extremely ugly?"   Too many times!  "Part bat and  part skinned rat!"  Yes, I've heard that too. So, how do you love something so "ugly"?  How do you not? (E.T. didn't do so bad.)

  Still I'm asked over and over again, "How could someone do that to a cat?"  Someone didn't... nature did!  The Sphynx is a result of a spontaneous mutation,  proving once again,  that Mother Nature has the best sense of humor!

If you are going to take pics and statements off of my website, you should try matching up the correct description with the correct cat/kitten. That is a Kohana kitten - not a Sphynx. M. Berge

I can't believe ppl have time to post such nasty comments! I just wanted to say thanks for posting about the nicer side to these animals. My dd (6) just saw a youtube vid featuring such animals but manipulated to look scary and she's been having nightmares. I pointed out that they are sweet animals and make lovely pets. I will show her this pic and read the post to her. If you know of any other nice links you could share, I'd be very grateful. Thanks. :)

i think this kitten is cute!! it is a baby and a gift of mother nature! as for the asshole who said to kill it, u were likely an ugly baby ( which this cat obviously is-a baby i mean not ugly)and u are obviously a disgusting ignorant person and no one has killed u, so if u have comments like that u should keep them to urself! it only shows how close minded and u are! so y dont u go screw urself buddy!
