Canadian hairless cats were bred by cat lovers in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from a litter of almost hairless kittens in 1966, specially for cat lovers who are allergic to cat hair. This kind of cat is a pet cat produced by natural gene mutation. Except for some thin and soft fetal hairs on the ears, mouth, nose, front tail and feet, other parts of the body are hairless, and the skin is wrinkled and elastic.

The auricle is huge and upright, towering above the head, with pointed ears and slightly leaning forward; Eyes are large and slightly lemon-shaped, slightly inclined, mostly blue and golden yellow; The upper corner of the eye is inclined to the ear with a large spacing.

Living environment of hairless cats
Canadian hairless cats are honest, tolerant, good-natured, easy to get close to people, loyal to their owners, and can get along well with other animals.
Canadian hairless cats sweat more than other cats, and their body temperature is 4℃ higher than that of ordinary cats, so they should keep eating to maintain their metabolism. Canadian hairless cats are very sensitive to sunlight because the white part is easy to get tanned. Because they have no hair, their ability to adjust the external temperature is poor, and they are afraid of cold and heat.
When the room temperature is kept between 25 and 30 degrees, the cat will feel very comfortable. You will feel cold when the temperature is below 20 degrees. If the indoor temperature is lower than 10 degrees, Canadian hairless cats will freeze to death. This kind of cat is suitable for apartment keeping. In summer, the owner needs to apply sunscreen to them to avoid sunburn. In winter, you need to add clothes to keep them warm.
