My boy is growing "fuzz"!!!! Now known as "Mr. Fuzzy Butt"

[ramanth]

Wait wait.... so a cat with fur licks itself bald when stressed, but a hairless cat GROWS hair when stressed!??!

That's crazy!!! LOL!!

Hope Ari feels less stressed soon.

Ari, I know you live in a full house, but see if you can find a quiet place to settle and rest so you aren't over stressed. Someplace like . . . a window perch, where mom gives you lots of loving and smooches!

Donna, I think the vet may be wrong on the stress verdict. I did some googling, and found this on many sites:

What causes some Sphynx to grow fuzz?

Much depends on the genetic background of the particular cat, but hormone changes may sometimes cause your sphynx to grow a small amount of fuzz as it matures. Early spay/neuter will lessen the chances of this happening. It may come and go with the changing seasons or remain intact. Mother Nature will often have the last word.

And from TCA:
It is acceptable for them to have short, tightly packed soft hair on their ears, muzzle, nose, feet, tail base and on the tip of their tail.

If I remember right, Ari is young, so maybe he is just maturing, going through hormonal changes or whatever.
