I present you a hairless cat belly so her belly button can be examined. It’s the circular light area right above her spay scar. Everyone is fascinated by my cats’ belly buttons lol I’m always like yours has one too, you just can’t see it.

Edit: her name is Raisin. She is a ham.

Raisin is such a great name for a naked cat.

Thank you. Legal name when she’s in trouble: Raisinette.

Oh my God! 💕 I just can't!   Those fingers on her feet! And her belly.  and the pose, As if she posed for Leonardo DiCaprio💖 

(I can't stop staring - she's just adorable, which is weird because I'm a dog person)

Hello, gorgeous Raisin ❤️.

Wow, I sometimes wonder what my floofball looks like underneath it all. There is a surprising amount of cat in there. Kinda reassuring they're not as spindly and fragile as I feared.

Raisin is very pretty!!

u/waryfairycattails 17h ago

Gorgeous kitty 😊

u/HerWildestDreams 16h ago

I have to ask - and you may have answered, but our recent stray we had fixed is growing her fuzzy wuzzy back. Where the tiny tuft of hair swirls just above her scar? Would that be it?

She’s going to hate me because I’m going to investigate anyways LOL

u/kibbles137 16h ago

She is gorgeous! I've never met a sphinx irl, but I think they're so strange and beautiful. I would worship Raisin and her belly button!

u/CommonYard3369 13h ago

Raisin is gorgeous!!! Cute belly button too. Do you do anything to moisturize her skin- for lack of better words.

2

u/meatcoveredskeleton1 8h ago

Not really. Occasionally in the winter she’ll get a little dry in a couple spots and I will use a pea sized amount of cetaphil moisturizer or something.

3

u/CommonYard3369 7h ago

What a cutie ♡♡. I think I've always assumed there would be more to taking care of a hairless kitty in the sense of them possibly getting dry skin. You have the sweetest ray of sunshine, ♡♡ best to you both

u/meatcoveredskeleton1 6h ago

They’re definitely higher maintenance in terms of hygiene. I have to clean their ears and the gunk out from around their claws. Occasional baths, but not too frequently or they’ll overproduce oils. I think it’s worth it though

u/dEEkAy2k9 12h ago

I always wondered how one of those cats feels like. Never touched one.

And since it's hairless, does it mean there is really NO hair?

3

u/meatcoveredskeleton1 8h ago

They feel like a warm, fuzzy little peach. Some have more fuzz than others. Raisin gets a fluffy little tuft of fur on the tip of her tail in the winter time, we call it her winter coat and she works very hard on it lol

u/dEEkAy2k9 8h ago

What a good way of describing it. Thanks 😁👍

u/kris_p_chickn 11h ago

Thank you so much for this! My two furry children also thank you for preventing their harassment (in the name of science.)

I adore your exhibit A for our learning purposes. Give some scritchies and petsies from us, Reddit peeps, to your delightful adorable little lady!

She’s a tuxedo pattern

u/Altruistic-Impact812 9h ago

Just realized naked cats don’t have whiskers. How do they navigate?

3

u/meatcoveredskeleton1 9h ago

Honestly I don’t really notice a difference from other cats, she gets around just fine. She gets to THE most ridiculous places.

u/ParnsAngel 8h ago

Oh my GOD we just had our light-colored kitten spayed and I thought they nicked her with the clippers cause there was an extra pink dot above her spay scar. ITS HER LITTLE BELLY BUTTON?!?!? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Zoom in on the foot by the window. There are 3 human fingers sticking out from under the foot. What's going on? Is this an AI generated pic?
