Peterbald Cat VS. Sphynx Cat.

What are the differences between these two cat breeds?


The Peterbald is a mixed breed cat–a cross between the Donskoy and Oriental Shorthair breeds. These felines are known for being affectionate, outgoing, and loyal. The breed gets the “Peter” in the name from Saint Petersburg and the “bald,” of course, from their mostly hairless coats. The Peterbald is a hairless cat who has a reputation as being exceptionally loyal to the humans in their life.

It’s a good thing that the hairless Sphynx loves attention because he draws it wherever he goes. He is demanding human attention and will do anything for a laugh. You may find these cats in shelters and rescues, so remember to always adopt! Don’t shop if you’re looking to add one of these cats to your home!


The Peterbald is usually hairless, although sometimes the breed will possess a very short and almost fuzzy layer of coat. The Peterbald comes in a wide range of colors. When it comes to grooming, a totally hairless Peterbald will require bathing at least once a week. This is to get rid of any oils that accumulate on the skin. Also, consult with your vet about using felinefriendly sunscreen, especially if the cat has access to the outdoors. In terms of climate, most Peterbald cats prefer warmer weather rather than cold environments. It's best to keep the breed indoors so that it can find warm and cozy spots to lounge around in.

Bald, wrinkled, and potbellied, the Sphynx is sometimes proclaimed to be ugly, but only by those who have a shallow understanding of beauty. His unusual body shape and the physiological and emotional warmth he emits are what attract people to him. Much like an apricot, the hard, muscular body of the Sphynx can be smooth or covered with a fine, soft down. The nose, toes, ears, and tail may also have a light covering of fur. To hug him is to melt into the warmth of his suedelike coat. A Sphynx does not have a higher body temperature than other cats, but it seems like it because there is no fur to serve as insulation.

A broad chest and a wellrounded abdomen give him the appearance of having eaten just a little too much at dinnertime, but he should not be fat. Supporting the body are firm, muscular legs set on oval paws with long, slender toes. A long, slender, flexible tail is described as whiplike. A Sphynx with a little tuft of fur on the end of the tail is said to have a lion tail. Sphynx kittens are heavily wrinkled, but as they grow the wrinkles smooth out, although some remain throughout the cat’s life. A Sphynx should not be so wrinkled that eyesight or other functions are compromised.

The head of the Sphynx is a modified wedge shape, slightly longer than it is wide, with prominent cheekbones, large ears, and large, lemonshaped eyes. Whiskers and eyebrows are sparse to nonexistent. The Sphynx comes in all colors and patterns, including white, black, red, chocolate, lavender, various tabby patterns, tortoiseshell, calico, bicolor, and pointed and mink patterns. The color is seen in the pigment of the skin as well as in whatever hair the cat has and can sometimes be difficult to distinguish.
