Scottish folds are not super active felines, so you won't find them climbing your curtains or leaping back and forth across your living room furniture. F.

She was the first hairless kitten in the world. A.

From darkly colored black sphynx cats to patterned tortoiseshell kittens, there's no shortage of variety. D. These beautiful baldies are curious, outgoing, super smart, and aren't shy about communicating their needs-literally. E. Sphynx cats are silly, fun-loving, natural-born entertainers who will clown around to get your attention F. Because sphynxes are always walking around in the nude, these cats tend to be sensitive to the sun and the cold and if you live in a cold climate, keep your kitty warm with a fuzzy sweater or coat.
