                  Though it is quickly growing in popularity,
                    the Sphynx is considered a rare exotic.
                  
                  This breed is sometimes called the
                    Canadian Sphynx because the first
                    examples of the breed to be used in
                    formal breeding programs were born
                    in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
                  The Sphynx is also known as the
                    'hairless cat', though it may have
                    some hair, rather like peach fuzz.
                    
                    In its temperament, the Sphynx is
                    amazingly confident in addition to
                    being affectionate and out-going.
                    It loves human attention and is
                    happiest when it is curled up
                    in a warm lap.
                  
                  Special Care?
                    If you are comfortable with the
                    temperature, your Sphynx will be fine.
                    However, the 
                    Sphynx does require
                    a regular bathing routine.
