Also - what is their personality like, do they like to be busy? Are they ever cuddlers? I'll be interested to know anything you'd like to tell me.

Thank you! --- mom of a furry girl
Yes they ALL needs baths usually more then once a week. Because they have no fur the oils from the skin come out more and make them greasy and orange and can stain your furniture if left for too long. They aren't recommended for people who have allergies to cats like most people think because they do release more oil which is what people are usually allergic to, so they are worse for people with allergies to cats.
Most of them are started from a kitten at being bathed so they get used to it, I've never herd of one who freaks out when it gets bathed. They don't necissarily enjoy it but they will tolerate it. Their claws do need more attention too because there is no hair there thier nails get dirty and need to be wiped off with a cloth (they turn black at the top).
Their personalities, I don't think you can fully describe you would have to meet/own one. They are so so loving and NEED to have attention always. They are extreme cuddlers and I know mine loves to be carried around and I've herd the same about others. They are more like a little kid then a cat. My Duck cries to be picked up, he snores, he has to get baths and get dressed all like a baby. He has this err weird habit though of sucking his nipples before he falls asleep . When he gose to bed he HAS to be around people and when it's night time he has to be in a bed with someone he can't go sleep on the couch or floor like the other cats. He usually puts his 2 front paws on your neck and starts purring really loud then gose to his nipples then sleeps. He also loves to cuddle under the blankets.
He deffinatly is nothing like the other cats.
I'll add more about him as I remember more things to put.
