Elves are a rather rare breed of cats that were bred as a result of crossing Sphynxes and American Curls.
These cats have an unusual appearance and can become excellent pets for lovers of exotic animals, and how to care for them - you will learn from this article.
Unusual appearance
The elves' body is completely covered with wrinkles, which are especially clearly visible around the muzzle, neck and ears. By the way, the ears are a whole other story: you are unlikely to find such ears on anyone else, because they have an unusual pointed shape with backward-curved tips.
Representatives of this breed almost completely lack eyebrows and whiskers, although short thin hair can still be found on the paws, ears, nose and tail.
Moreover, sometimes it happens that the entire body of an elf is covered with very short fluff.
Temperament
Among the distinctive features of this breed are friendliness, affection, and sociability. Elves tolerate the proximity of other pets and are friendly with children (not too intrusive).
On the downside, these cats love to climb everywhere.

Due to the lack of fur, elves require special care. To get rid of dirt, the owner of such a cat should regularly wipe the pet with a soft cloth or baby wipes.
You need to bathe your cat twice a month – no more often and no less often.
