The Sphynx is similar in structure to the Devon rex, with very large ears and a pixie face. Its skin is often wrinkled and feels like soft, warm suede or chamois. It is not actually hairless instead it is covered with very short down that is difficult to see and nearly impossible to feel. Some cats and kittens do show more fur in winter on their extremities but this does disappear. It is more like fluff or down rather than what is generally considered fur.

The Sphynx is a medium-sized, muscular cat that appears well-fed but not fat. Its long, whippy tail tapers from the base to the tip. Its ears are very large and wide at the base; its eyes are large and lemon-shaped, and slant slightly to the base of the ears. The Sphynx is extremely patient, tolerant, and intelligent and very very friendly.
