Which cat breed is right for you?
The Bambino is a relatively new designer breed created by crossing the Sphynx with the Munchkin, resulting in a hairless cat with short legs. This small breed weighs just 5–9 pounds and has the characteristic wrinkled, nearly hairless skin of the Sphynx combined with the Munchkin's shortened limbs. Their skin comes in all colors and patterns, and they may have a fine peach-fuzz covering.
Bambinos are outgoing, affectionate, and surprisingly energetic despite their short legs — they love to run, play, and explore. They are extremely social cats that crave human contact and will curl up under blankets or on laps for warmth. They get along well with children, dogs, and other cats, making them lively and entertaining companions.

The Sphynx originated in Toronto, Canada, in 1966 when a domestic cat gave birth to a hairless kitten due to a natural genetic mutation. Through careful breeding with Devon Rex and other cats, the Sphynx was established as a robust breed. Weighing 6–12 pounds, this medium-sized cat is famous for its apparent hairlessness — though most Sphynx have a fine layer of peach-fuzz that gives their skin a warm, suede-like texture. Their wrinkled skin, lemon-shaped eyes, enormous ears, and pot belly give them an unmistakable extraterrestrial appearance.
Sphynx cats are extroverted clowns that crave human attention and warmth — literally, as they seek out body heat and will burrow under blankets or curl up on any available lap. They are fearless, social, and endlessly entertaining, performing acrobatic feats and greeting everyone — including strangers — with enthusiasm. They do wonderfully with children, dogs, and other cats.
