Sphynx Standard, 05/01/2004
COAT/COLOR/PATTERN:
Length: Appears hairless. May be covered with short, fine down. May have puff of hair on tip of tail. Whiskers are sparse and short.
Texture: Chamois-like. A feeling of resistance may be felt when stroking the skin of some cats. The skin is very wrinkled in kittens.
Adults should retain as many wrinkles as possible, especially on the head, although wrinkling should not be so pronounced that it affects
the cat's normal functions.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The Sphynx appears to be a hairless cat, although it is not truly hairless. The skin should have the texture of chamois. It may be covered with very fine down which is almost
imperceptible to both the eye and the touch. On the ears, muzzle, tail, feet and scrotum, short, soft, fine hair is allowed. Lack of coat makes the cat quite warm to the touch. Whiskers
and eyebrows may be present, either whole or broken, or may be totally absent. The cat should not be small or dainty.
Males may be up to 25 percent larger so long as proper proportions are maintained. The Sphynx is sweet-tempered, lively, intelligent and above all amenable to handling.
PENALIZE:
Overall small cat.
Body that is too thin, frail-appearing or delicate or fine-boned; too cobby or foreign.
Lack of wrinkles on the head.
Straight profile, narrow head.
Non-amenable disposition.
Significant amounts of hair above the ankle.
ALLOWANCES:
Lockets.

Any indication of wavy hair or
suggestion of the Devon Rex, or
Cornish Rex in molt..
DISQUALIFY (DQ):
