Donskoy Cat

The first thing everyone notices about me my obvious lack of hair. But I'm not exactly bald my breed actually has four different types of coats that range from total baldness to a sparse growth here and there.

The totally bald, completely hairless of our breed is known as the Rubber Bald. Yea, I know, not such a flattering name. But it is accurate a Donskoy with this type of coat remains utterly hairless forever and as the name implies, the skin tends to have the appearance and even the texture of rubber. This hairless beauty is the most prized of all Donskoy coats.

The second, slightly less hairless of us is called Flock. A Donskoy having this type of coat appears to be hairless at first glance, but actually sports an extremely thin and soft coat that feels very much like the Chamois cloth that's used to wash glass surfaces.

The third, slightly more hairy of us is called Velour. A Donskoy having this type of coat is commonly born with wispy hairs on its body and an apparent bald spot on its head that's similar to a monk's cap. These wispy hairs either remain after its first birthday or completely disappear by that time, giving it our breed's signature bald appearance.

Finally, the fourth and most hairy of our breed is called Brush. A Donskoy having this type of coat has a few sparse growths of hair on its body, save for the back, neck and head. Interestingly, these hairs become very noticeable during the winter and are shed off during the warmer months. Pretty cool, eh

All of us regardless of our amount of hair have medium-sized bodies and are fairly graceful in appearance.

And while my hairless, wrinkly physique may give me a somewhat fragile look, I am actually quite well-muscled and flaunt very strong bones. Plus, my skin's not wrinkled all over. Try touching me my skin actually feels soft and velvety. The crinkliest areas of my body are really only my groin, neck, underbelly, sides of the legs as well as my stomach.

I am perfect for cat buffs who want an extremely sociable and affectionate feline who is always up for play and interaction. The ideal human companion(s) will dedicate time daily to have a game or two as well as give me loads of cuddling and nuzzling while at it.

And just so we're clear: I am a cat who craves companionship. I do not do well when left alone for long periods of time. You might even come home to see me pining away in misery from feeling ignored or isolated.

If you really must be away, make sure you get me some friends. I'm open to dogs, ferrets, other cats and even the occasional guinea pig or hamster.
