False, They still produce the primary cat allergen (Fel d 1) in their saliva, dander, and urine. The lack of fur just means less allergen might get trapped and spread around.
While they don't shed hair, they still shed skin cells (dander), which is a major component of cat allergies.
Wrong! Because they lack fur to absorb their skin oils, they actuallly need more frequent bathing than most cats to prevent skin problems and stickiness. Their wrinkles also need regular cleaning to avoid infections. They also need to have their ears cleaned fairly often.
\While they definitely feel the cold more than furry cats and appreciate warm environments and sweaters, they aren't constantly shivering. They have a higher metabolism than furred cats, which helps them generate extra body heat.
While they do require specific care, like protection from extreme temperatures and regular skin cleaning, they are generally healthy and robust cats with a similar lifespan to oyher breeds.
Incorrect. Their hairlessness is due to a natural genetic mutation.
False. Their unique needs make them higher maintenance in many ways.
