We\u2019ve all heard of the Sphynx<\/a>, yes? You know, the classic hairless cat that steals the show everywhere they go? But did you know that there is another hairless cat breed that is thought to precede the Sphynx?<\/p>\n

The breed is known as the Mexican Hairless Cat. Although, this cat is actually extinct<\/strong> (if it even existed at all), so note that the height, weight, etc., is just speculation based on similar breeds such as the Sphynx that still exist today.<\/p>\n
