The decision to start our Elf Program was not taken lightly and there was a lot of thought before we came to the decision. After doing extensive research on the American Curl that is when I realized this outcross WILL benefit our sphynx breed more than anything. CURLED EARS from the American Curl is A SPONTANEOUS NATURAL MUTATION just like the hairless gene. Two noted geneticists, Solveig Pflueger and Roy Robinson, were contacted to study this unusual mutation of the American Curl in 1985. Referred to as a spontaneous mutation, the gene that causes the ear to curl appeared to be following a single dominant pattern. All cats in our Elf program are scanned for HCM and we also hope by using the American Curl our chances of producing HCM positive kittens will be reduced drastically.
Some feel that breeders are producing Elf Cats just to make money on a "Designer Breed"…. I believe people that say this do so because they are close minded and don't really know how beneficial it is to outcross with very healthy breeds like the AC. Any responsible breeder knows that breeding is a hobby and a lot of hard work no matter what breed. We did not start selling pet kittens until 2011 and even then there was very few going to pet homes.
Many of our first kittens stayed in our program or went to other responsible breeders working on the Elf Cats. Outcrossing is very expensive to do and starting a new breed is 100x that. Almost every breed out there was made by putting 2 breeds together at some point. We would not have a lot of our wonderful cat and dog breeds today without the determination of a few breeders working very hard for the same goal.

First attempts at breeding Sphynx began in 1966, when a black and white cat gave birth to a hairless kitten in Ontario, Canada. The owner named the hairless kitten Prune, due to the wrinkled hairless skin. Prune was bred to other cats in an attempt to create more hairless kittens.

I bought my first Spynx kitten last year from Breeder, Liz Bennett, in Glendale, Arizona. I've never owned a cat before, therefore I wanted a good, healthy kitten and a professional breeder. She had a litter almost ready to go to their new homes. We made an appointment for my wife and myself to come visit her and see the kittens and parents. Her place was very clean, which immediately put us at ease.
Then, she brought out the kittens that she had available. It was hard to decide which one to purchase because they were equally cute and cuddly. I want to say, my little "girl" is a huge part of our family now.

Sphynx are known to excitedly greet their owners at the front door when they come home – just like a dog would!

They're active and keep their people entertained with their silly antics.
Sphynx are intelligent, curious and considered the most easily trained of all cats. It goes without saying that a sphynx cat gets cold easily too. They will need something to keep them warm when it's cold outside or in the house. Even the summer air conditioner could be set too low for your feline friend.
Clothes for these little creatures are a necessity. Etsy has an entire category of "Sphynx Cat Clothes". Although some sphynx owners simply refuse to clothe them, we shouldn't feel silly about it. A shirt or a sweater will keep them more comfortable. Also, keep plenty of fleecy blankets around the house for your cat to burrow into if they get cold. Those would be perfect for a hairless cat, although Cleopatra prefers to sleep right against her mom's neck!
I wonder if they cuddle because they're cold, or because they're being affectionate? One more thing, because of their oily skin, their clothes and bedding need to be washed on a regular basis, just like our own. Cats are not generally big fans of water, and the sphynx is no different. When you own a sphynx, you need to start bathing her when she's very young so that she will get used to it. Actually, your breeder should have started bathing her before you even came into the picture or else you may face the challenge breaking her of her aversion to water. Anyway, with all that bathing, you have to be careful not to strip the natural oils from her body.
