It’s a sphynx! It’s a Munchkin! No, wait, it’s a sphynchkin!
As popular and notable as Sphynx and Munchkin cats can be, have you ever thought about what they would look like combined?
If you have, then it’s time to meet the Dwelf cat in all its miniature beauty.
It is safe to say that they appeared after 2005, around the same time the Bambino breed started kicking about, as they are very closely related to this breed.
This stems mainly from their unique looks and stature, as they are small (dwarf) cats with adorable (elf-like) appearances.
Their most prominent features are those of the Sphynx, as they mainly look like miniature versions of those hairless cuties with the ears of the American Curl.
Currently, they are only bred in America and are quite a rare breed. Specifically “designed” and bred for a certain look, these felines can set you back anything from $1000+.
While the rumors run rampant that these types of hairless indoor cat breeds can’t grow hair, this is false. They are definitely capable and often have fine, downy hairs all over their bodies.
