“Whiskers may be present, either whole or broken, or may be totally absent.”

“Whiplike, tapering tail from body to tip, (sometimes with fur all over tail or a puff of fur on the tip, like a lion)”

Wait.. so someone actually shaved a cat? People are awful, poor animals treated as cute little toys.

No, sphinxes naturally have very short or nonexistent whiskers. Poor OP has to deal with accusations of animal cruelty every time they post, I would have given up by now

Nah! I've just learned that there's a breed called devon rex and those have fur (very short tho) and look super cool! Might even say that (in my opinion) they look better than sphinxes 👀
