30 Times Sphynx Cats Proved They’re Not The Best Photo-Models
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.

Shouldn't he be neutered? He is adorable but I am quite passionate about neutering.

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.
