Sphynx Cats Grow Winter Coats: Splendid Photos Of Not-So-Hairless Cats

Winter is here, and that means it's time to make sure that our favorite wrinkly baby yodas, also known as sphynx cats, stay warm and dry this holiday season. This awwdorable cat species is world famous for having virtually no hair, so imagine our surprise when we learned that during the winter time, many sphynx cats actually do grow tiny and awwdorable winter coats to keep themselves warm! That's right, these hairless cats don't always remain so hairless all winter long, sometimes they have a trick up their sleeve!

While we can all agree that normally sphynx cats look super cute working their lack of hair, we certainly were curious to see what they look like when they start growing their winter coats, and the photos that we found certainly don't disappoint! These super cute kitties can often manage to grow some very impressive peach fuzz to warm them through the holiday season. Take a below if you'd like to see the true miracle of Christmas: hairless cats growing hair out of sheer willpower.

So we all know what a typical sphynx cat looks like...

Aww, just look at this bald little baby sitting there, looking like a smol rotisserie chicken mixed with a bat. All jokes aside, these hairless cats are super awwdorable, but we want to see what they look like when they grow hair! In a way, we've seen thousands of cats with fur, but what about a half hairless and half furry cat? Let's take a look!

But did you know that some sphynx cats grow hair?

Oh. my. word. Just look at this precious baby sphynx cat. Have you ever seen a cat grow hair like this? It's worth noting that most of the time, sphynx cats just grow a little bit of peach fuzz all over their bodies, or on their tails, and this guy has quite an interesting assortment of fur, but he's just so cute!

That's right, hairless cats can grow hair for a variety of reasons, but it's especially common to see during the winter season!

Growing a winter coat can be helpful, because sphynx cats can get pretty chilly in the wintertime.

True, what these cats call a 'winter coat' might not look like much, but for a naked cat it's definitely something!

Even if your sphynx cat does grow fur, you may still need to dress them in clothing to keep them warm. Stay safe out there!
