September 13th is celebrated as National “Bald is Beautiful” Day! Let’s take a moment to celebrate the Sphynx breed of cat. They are an affectionate breed that must be kept indoors. They lose body heat more readily compared to haired cats, and can easily be sunburned. Being one of the most hypoallergenic cat breeds makes them a good option for people with allergies, but they need to be bathed regularly. 😻
