Peterbald
cats are graceful cats of oriental type which appear to be hairless
(although they are not truly hairless).
Peterbald Cat History
At first the Peterbald breed was called the Don Sphynx, but after it was
discovered, that this cat was totally different from the Sphynx, the
name was changed to the Don Hairless. In 1993 a very oriental looking
brown mackerel tabby Don Hairless male, was mated to a tortie Oriental
female. These oriental type hairless cats were called Peterbalds.
Peterbald Cat Description
The Peterbald cat has firm, fine bones and elongated body and feet, with
delicate, elastic, warm "chamois" skin.
The skin is thin, soft, tender and fine, with pigmentation in hairless
places, and with a "drawing" in the places with residual coat. The skin
is wrinkled, easily moving along the body on the neck, under the feet
and in the groin. A fine down coat along the body is allowed, more
furry, soft, fine coat is allowed on the ears, muzzle, tail and feet.
The head is long, wedge-shaped, with flat, high cheek-bones and flat
skull. It has an almost straight profile, with slightly noticeable angle
from forehead to nose. The Peterbald is a sturdy, lean cat with a high,
long neck with running wrinkles. The body is long, muscular, cylindrical
with deep groin line. The cat's legs are long with firm, fine boning.
The muzzle is strong and so is the chin - but not a protruding chin. It
has several vertical lines/wrinkles on the forehead which diverge before
the ears nearly at right angles. The whiskers and eyebrows are wavy or
broken off near the skin. The ears are large broad at the base, high on
the head, straight set, following the line of the wedge, opening
forward. Peterbald cats have straight vertical forelegs. The paws are
oval with long agile toes. Young cats have wavy coats on their feet and
may have fine coat on the extremities until the age of two years. The
Peterbald tail is long, straight, strong and whippy. Up to one inch of
the tail tip may be covered with soft dense close lying wavy coat.
Peterbald Characteristics and Temperament
The Peterbald is a very friendly, outgoing, and very intelligent cat.
Although they are outcrossed with Siamese they are not as noisy, and
also more peaceful cats. A Peterbald cat loves his owner, and does not
mind to make friends with strangers. They are graceful cats, that get
very well along with other animals in the house. Peterbald cats can
easily stay in a small place like a flat, not like their blood brothers,
the siamese, who are just too inquisitive to stay in one place.
Special Requirements
Although one might think that ths new breed will have lots of problems
due to inbreeding etc, they are very strong, healthy cats. Peterbalds
are super cats to have as companion animals, with this extra bonus that
they do not shed! |

Cat Names: From A to Z - Cats have
very distinctive personalities, and every new kitten deserves a
name to match its looks and character. Prince might be the
perfect name for a pussycat of regal appearance—though Yogi
would be a better fit for a comical cat who always gets into
mischief. Those two plus 998 additional names fill this
entertaining and informative little book, written to inspire
soon-to-be cat owners. They'll find names to match not only
their kitten's personality, but also to reflect their own tastes
and interests, all names presented in alphabetical order. And
while trying to decide on that perfect feline name—whether it be
Pinocchio or Picasso, Hercules or Hamlet—cat owners can delight
over the dozens of enchanting, comical, and endearing color
photos of kittens at rest and at play.
