A hairy question

[GizmosMommy]

So I was wondering when I get Gizmo fixed if that could make him grow hair...like hairy hair not fuzz? Through the reading I have been doing on here I see that some ppl have hairy sphynx cats and I was wondering how common that was and if certain things can trigger it?? Gizz has fuzz on his paws and tail and feet, but its very light fuzz...Im just wondering

My boy been neutered and his not hairy at all.

I don't know perhaps some of the more experience will chime in I just know it didn't make my boy hairy but every kitty is different!

Darwin is exactly the same as before he was fixed...fuzz on his nose, ears, and feet. I think the amount of hair has more to do with diet ( I read something about Iams causing hair growth in Sphynx), environment (being cold), and genetics.

I have heard that unaltered female Sphynx can gain and lose hair at different points of their cycle but I have never heard about a male Sphynx getting more hair after getting neutered. I would also be curious to know if anyone has experienced this though.

Not at all. It is the hormones that cause the hair. I'm sure Giz will be perfect
