What Sphynx cats are like to live with

The Sphynx is a hairless cat, though its body is covered in a fine down. The Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF), which registers pedigree cats in the UK, describes the breed as "affectionate, sociable and intelligent" and says Sphynx are very much people cats that hate being alone.
