April said: 'we did a lot of research before we crossed the first generation, hoping to make sure the cats are healthy and good-looking. '
The Sphinx Bobcat looks like an ordinary sphinx cat (Canadian hairless cat). It has big, round ears, a hairless body and a strong body. The only difference is the truncated tail.
Similar to barbino, the bobtail cat has a hairless body with a short leg gene. The only difference is the short tail.

April said: 'I've always wanted to breed this breed because I love the Sphinx and the bobtail. I hope to be able to share my love with those who are allergic to cat fur. They are good-looking and sticky, and will follow you wherever they go. They get along well with the children, like to play, they are very outgoing, like to communicate with people. '
April, from Jacksonville, Florida, has been dealing with Sphinx cats for the past nine years. "I fell in love with them when I first met them. I was at a cat show when a sphinx cat came up to me and gave me a kiss on the face. They were very loving. Many of the people who come here to adopt cats have no children. Cats are their children. They will show their love to them in the same way. '
April bred three generations of cats before they finally got the two special shaped cats. "We crossed the hairless cat with the American short tail cat, and after three generations, the kittens showed the hairless gene again. The hairless gene is a recessive gene, so the first generation of kittens had cats like ordinary cats, and then we selected the best of them and crossed them with hairless cats.
The best barbinos are completely hairless, with short legs and a short tail, while the Sphinx should be completely hairless, with long legs, full of muscles and a short tail. The price of the barbino Bobcat is about $3500, and the Sphinx is about $2800.

April now hopes to register the two cats as official breeds, saying: 'the registration process is difficult, but we are still working on it. They require a certain number of kittens, so we are waiting for a few more litters to be born before we can finally be certified. I've written and submitted the standards for the breed. My life is basically about these cats. It's a hobby, but also to improve these breeds and share these special cats with the world. '
