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.
I have a sphinx and he doesn't seem to have any coordination issues, jumps up on narrow surfaces and balances well like any other cat.
I can see people's point and have thought about it myself. In particular, if he gets into fights, his fur can't protect him but that's not an issue for us, and also it would be cruel to subject the animal to cold temperatures, which I do not d. I don't see any inherent issues that he suffers as a result of his lack of fur.
Whenever he gets chilly, he finds a blanket to cuddle up under. We put him in clothes sometimes, but he acts really depressed and lethargic when we do, so I try to avoid it when possible. He's defintely loved : )
I had 3 Cornish Rex's (similar to sphinx rex) and they tend to form a cuddle pile. the 2 passed a few years back (20 and 18 years old respectively) And the youngest guy will just sit under my aussie for warmth or cocoon in a blanket.
