Feline sphynxes were named after the Egyptian legendary sphinx (although, the cat is spelled with a "y" instead of an
"i") for their sophisticated look and graceful nature. Despite their regal appearance, they are playful and goofy pals
that sometimes act more like dogs than cats. They may look like they were pets of the pharoahs, but, in fact, they
originally hail from Canada in the 1960s.
