There are so many breeds of cats out there, but few are more eye-catching than hairless felines. Cats like the popular Sphynx claim devoted pet parents who love their unique looks. However, for those of us used to our everyday fur-clad kitties, hairless breeds can look a little freaky at first.
October 14th is Be Bald And Free Day, and it’s a perfect time to celebrate our hairless kitty friends. They’re rockin’ the bald look, and the results can be very entertaining!
Here’s a roundup of seven standout hairless cats from Instagram that you won’t be able to stop staring at.

Do you know what a Dwelf is? Well, it’s a hairless breed of cat that also comes with squat legs and elf-like ears.

5. Hairless Cats Are Chic Cats

Due to their lack of fur, hairless cats often have to bundle up to keep warm.
