~ Determining colors in Hairless cats & Kittens ~
*~*~*~* we need a little help here *~*~*~*

On this page you will find photos of hairless cats and kittens (Peterbald, Donskoy, Sphynx), as well as some Oriental, SIamese, and Straight coated Peterbalds (until we can get ALL colors represented by hairless cats, that is!).

We would love to eventually have photos of hairless cats in as many different colors and patterns as possible!

To determine the color of a cat that has little or no hair, you must look at the overall color of the cat, the color of its nose, the color of its paw pads, and the color of its eyes (remember, any cat 3 months or older with blue eyes is pointed, green eyes are preferred over gold, but either green or gold mean the cat is not pointed).
