Nude cats, like the Sphynx, may seem cute and special, but behind their hairless appearance lies a painful truth. These cats are the result of genetic engineering and often bear the consequences of these interventions. Although breeding nude cats is prohibited in some countries, it is still illegal. In this blog post, I'll discuss why it's ethically irresponsible to buy a nude cat, and provide care tips for those who already have a nude cat in their home.
