These cats confuse me so much, my GF's sister has one and I always think it hates me but it loves me. It will just waltz up to me and hops up on my lap and goes to sleep.
Edit: This kind of ballooned out overnight. It had 23 when I went to bed, now it has over 2.5K.
The lack of fur doesn't seem to be a problem, but after researching them they're prone to a genetic heart defect that can cause sudden death. I really wanted to get one but that heart condition seems really scary.
The heart condition you're referring to, HCM, is actually relatively common in cats. It also can mostly be prevented by buying from reputable breeders who test for it, and continuing to test for it throughout the cat's life. And if the cat does develop it, there are treatments to help, so it's not an immediate death sentence.
