7. Buyer is expected to be knowledgeable in generally accepted traits and characteristics
of the Sphynx cat, including understanding that a degree of hairlessness varies and that
no Sphynx cat is completely hairless. Hormones, genetics and nutrition play an
important role in hairlessness, causing varying degrees of fur on different parts of the
body. It is also understood that although a kitten may be almost hairless when sold, it is
possible that it can develop some hair after being neutered/spayed and as it grows
older. Therefore, it is impossible to guarantee that any Sphynx kitten will not grow some
hair at some point during its life.
