Hair
(Click photo for a larger image)
Sphynx are hairless cats, so as a Sphynx, my most distinguishing feature is my lack of hair! However, like all Sphynx, I do have some hair on my body - most Sphynx have hair on the bridge of their nose, and Sphynx may also have hair on their ears, like I do, or other parts of the anatomy (the CFA breed standard allows for "short, fine hair may be present on the feet, outer edges of the ears, the tail, and the scrotum. The bridge of the nose should be normally coated.") As for myself, I only have hair on my nose and my ears. (You can really see my hair if you click on the image to make it larger.)

It's hair on the same places that Mr Lifecruiser has hair too!!!
*giggles x millions*
Oh, I orget to say that it's a very fotogenique pictue, coul be a cat mode pictue!
It is very cute how you have just a little bit of hair on your nose and ears!
I must confess..they freak me out just a bit.
You are a pretty cat! happy weekend :)
Wow, Do you get cold? At least you don't have to worry about getting those little pesky fleas. Happy Saturday to you
What a beautiful photo ... you are such a handsome kitty.
Take care, Meow
Ah I did wonder what your entry would be! On close examination, I see you *do* have hairs, and even some whiskers too!
Looks disgruntled at this week's Photohunt theme.
Looks like a lack of hair. Great take on the theme this week.
That is a very good picture of you, Dragonheart. As you know, I think you are so handsome!

It is funny, Dragonheart, but you were my first thought when I saw that the theme for this weekend is "hair"! =) One of my kitties has a little gotee. I should have taken his photo for this week.
Thanks for visiting Pollywog Creek and have a blessed weekend.
Interesting take on the theme. I've never seen one of these cats in real life. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of them!
Way cool! You have hair too. :) See, we learned more about sphynxes today! We learn so much from you, Dragonheart. It's fun!
Purrrrs,
Boni
Oooh how exciting, Dragonheart. Do you have any idea what you want for your birthday? And what are you going to do for the day? You'll have to let us know and we'll also want plenty of photos.
At least no fur ball for your human, :D
Have a great weekend!
Dragonheart - you look very handsome in your picture. Mom said your head looks just purrfect for kissing.
Dragonheart, we love learning more about you. Why does the breed allow for hair on certain parts of the body?
Also, Congratulations Dragonheart!! You are the winner of our 100th post contest!! Thanks for guessing. Pls. send your snail mail address (see our bloggie for details) so we can send you your prize.
Purrs,
Mr. Chen & Ollie
we love you Dragonheart!
I think your unqiue traits make you very special.
We luf yur furry little nose hairs.

Lol... I did wonder what the hairless cat would do for the hair theme! Yup, peachfuzz hair is still hair...
I love your photo. You are so adorable. Perfect for our theme!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Drop by if get a chance, I have mine posted.
Handsome as ever, Dragonheart. We were reading dis and hadda ask mom what a scrotum was, den we blushed and sed "oh" mom sez hoohaa bag is better-hehehe
I came by to visit you for your hair theme and got caught up in reading more about you. You are a very unique and interesting little guy.
You picked the right photo for this week ;)
There are those cute whiskers you have!!! Is that considered hair???
Puuurrrrrs,
Stella
You're a dazzler kiddo - a real dazzler.
Thanks for dropping by,
Frances
What a furry nose! And we likes yer ear tufts! Fanks fer not showing da other "parts" of yer body wifout hairs. :)
if i had a cat i would match make u on a blind date :) however cats have sharp vision so it will probably not work hahahahahahahaha
Dragonheart, you are the cutest. Very nice take on the Hair theme. Now if someone ask us about Sphynx Cats we can tell them lots of neat stuff and that we know one personally.
Your Florida friends,
Samantha & Tigger
nose hair? haha, that's funny - but then again, the cat at least has a warm nose :D And I see that also the whiskers are more or less nonexistent.
Thanks for visiting me :)
wow--what a wonderful shot!!
Hello, Dragonheart, how are you today? You're look well and you're very knowledgeable. I learn a lot every time I visit you.
Another lovely photo of you.
Dragonheart, you are just so cute! Thanks for sharing with us.
I didn't realize there was hair on your nose, DH. Lovely picture!
You are so cute - and that is a fabulous photo!
That is a beautiful picutre Dragonheart. I know I am supposed to be looking at hair, but I can't get past your eyes!
Dragonheart, you are an absolute fabulous kitty. I am just mesmerized by your large luminous eyes...
Dragonheart, as usual beautiful, although you have a little frown today. Everyone loves you even if you don't have much hair.
After some major twisting & turning, I checked and I, too, have "short, fine hair present on the feet, outer edges of the ears, the tail, and the scrotum" ... I must be a Sphynx!!
Rocky
Ahhh...was wondering what you would post today for this week's theme!! Very good!
Happy Weekend.
Hi there Dragonheart--
My momma said to tell you that you are living proof that (almost) bald guys are sexy.
Your (really embarrassed) buddy--Jimmy Joe
I see tufties on your ears and when I enlarge, little hairs on your nose! Cute!
You are very handsome Dragonheart, and I love your gorgeous eyes!
Dragonhert- you always make me laugh.
We humans try to get the hair OUT of our ears (at least the men do anyway)
best "hair" picture so far!
the fur on your nose looks adorable. very cute!
Hi DH - looking good! I especially like the hair on the bridge of you nose. Do you like to have it rubbed? I like having my nose rubbed, it makes me very sleepy. FAZ
Cute photo and yes, I see hair! :)
Thanks for visiting me. I love your cat, don't suppose there's a problem with cat hair at your house.
Mama Bear
You are so lovely, if you ever feel like you want some hair you can always come and borrow some of my extensions hehe
I thought Dragonheart might participate in the Hair photo. Great pic as always!
Thanks for checking out my yorkie photos.
What a handsome picture of you, Dragonheart!
Purrs and snuggles from Marilyn.
You are such a good lookin' feller!
Kittyhugs and purrs from MaoMao.
You're going to be one handsome mancat, Dragonheart! (Just don't let Miss Millie see your pics, 'cause I don't know if I can compete.)
Well this is the strangest thing! I just happened to come back after visiting yesterday, and leaving a comment, and lo and behold, theres no comment from me! WTH? Now comment! I'm so sorry sweetie, I try and get to your photo hunt first day always...Dragonheart, you sweet little thing..hugs and kisses
I think the hair on your ears looks very distinguished.
You have an international following!! Who is Captain Lifecrusier? I'm going to the captain's page to find out.
Beautful picture!
We still love your ear tufts the best!
I could see your ear hairs in the small photo, Dragonheart, then I went to the big one and wow, you do have hair on your cute wee nose. You are so handsome. (don't ever tell Shadow I said that as I always tell him he's the handsomest tom cat in the world).
Thanks for visiting my hairy post today.
You are very beautiful, Dragonheart!!
Please come and join us at our big lizard BBQ - plenty of lizards to eat!

Great "hair," Dragonheart! Yours is furry unique and special. When I biggify your photo, I can see all of the fine hairs. I'll bet that you're soft.
DMM
Like it is with the human head... God only created a certain number of perfect kitty bodies... all the rest he had to give hair to. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi dragonheart --
What do you in the winter and other colder day in Germany? Do you get given coats to wear?
Cute pic!
Very expressive eyes!
Neat - thank you for showing your hair on the nose and on the ears. I could see the hairs on your eyes even without enlarging the picture :)
Have a great Sunday.
You have no problems shedding around in the whole appartment/house.
Oh my. Are those wrinkles on your head? Your photos are always so interesting to see.
Dragonheart - you have such lovely hair on your nose.
A fantastic entry
Cute shot.
Dragonheart, you still have more hair than my husband! Great photo!
The only lack of hair I like better is my husband's head! ;-)
Mine is up late!
