PETERBALD
ORIGIN
The Peterbald is the newest hairless breed. They are descended from the Russian Don Hairless breed with outcrosses to Oriental and Siamese cats. They are unrelated to the Sphynx, as the gene that causes the hairlessness is different.
ASPECT

They are found in a wide range of colors and patterns, including colorpoint. Eye color generally conforms to coat/skin color. Cats younger than two years of age may have a soft, wavy coat along any or all of the body. The Peterbald is accepted for championship status in its native Russia. They are accepted under New Breed and Color status in TICA.
CHARACTER
They are lively, intelligent companions.
