History of breed

In 1966, Ontario (Canada) in the domestic cat kitten born without hair, he was named Prune.

When he grew up, he crossed with his own mother. In a communication received from him, and litter

were hairless and normal kittens. With further dilution was also used in close Inbreeding: Prune

crossed both her daughters and granddaughters to. As a result,obtained a stock of hairless cats of two

main types, which differ features of the constitution. In the 60-70s of the 20th century CFA created a

new interim standards cats. But received a small population was unsustainable, and in 1971 the

standard was destroyed. Kittens are born weak, sick and often die.

In 1975, Wanda (Minnesota, USA), a new hairless kitten, he was given the name

Epidermis. A year later from the same cat was born a similar cat. Both arrived in Nursery Z.Stardust.

The epidermis became the founder of the first line of hairless cats. At the end of 1970 on the streets of

Toronto, where he was born Prune, was found 3 more hairless kittens - cat and two kittens. Kitty was

in bad shape - he needed surgery operation. Therefore, in what he did not participate in breeding. But

his fame longevity, lived almost 20 years!

Both kitties, Pinky and Paloma, so they were called, came to Holland, where they rodonochalnitsami

European line of sphinxes. In order to support the existence of genetic material, hairless cats, they

were crossed with Devon - Rex. However, excessive similarities with the sphinxes deyvon Rex "get

out" so far, is regarded as a drawback this species: thin skin, short head, with rounded eyes, low set

ears and fine bone. Folded skin usually inherit the representatives of the lines originating from

Epidermis.

Sometimes the American mongrel cats, still naked kittens are born, which

subsequently used for breeding.

In Russia the first hairless cats were zaveziny in the late 20th century. It is famous Aztek Baringa

(Home name ravioli) and Nefertiti from the nursery Grandpavs. Their owner was

Tatiana Smirnova (kennel Ruaztek) from Moscow.

usually removed the number of points in judging. Eastern Promises is a strong deviation from the

standard, which turns into a physical deformity (Eg, cryptorchidism in cats - the presence of one egg

instead of two). Animals with disabilities are removed from the refereeing in the future can not be

used in breeding, but can be a great home favorite.

Nowadays there are many international feline organizations, which under the statute, are entitled to

their own standards, which differ slightly from each other. The following describes the more common
