Hi! We just got Walter, our Don-Sphynx a few weeks ago. He is now about 25 weeks old.
Since we got him, he seems to be getting fuzzier. The breeder said he was born bald, and when we picked him up he had some wiry hairs about 1/2 - 3/4 inch covering his tail, and back ( I call them "old man chest hairs" because that's what they look like to me
)
But since we got him, he seems to be getting fuzzier, with hair moving up his back towards his fornt shoulders. The breeder said this would be a seasonal coat, since it's getting colder out? We do live in Canada, but of course the cat is inside! Do you think he's growing this because he's cold? He doesn't seem to shiver, and of course we keep our home warm with plenty of blankets and spots for him to cuddle up in.
I've never had a kitten before (all my previous cats were rescues already adults) so maybe I am being over protective!
Any help and opinions from you guys would be great! Thanks!
