Sheba, You are a beautiful girl! I would imagine that you feel like velvet (the way Luke feels after getting a lion cut). You really do look like a sphinx statue I've seen in photos. I am so glad you have a wonderful home & as others have said, it doesnt matter one bit that you have too much hair for a show cat. Mercy, to me it looks as if you have very very little hair & no wonder you like the warmth of the sun & fireplace. Others mentioned that they adopted their cat; so did I. He was on his way to animal shelter when I saw him & Luke is a beautiful cat. Back to you Sheba, it is obvious that you have a great home & are loved. Congrats on being COTD! Kay in NC
