Best known as the scary hairless cat of everyone’s nightmares or “that thing” that Rachel brought home on Friends, Sphynx cats are the definition of why someone would not judge a creature based on how it looks. The Sphynx is actually quite docile in nature and great with strangers (with the odd exception, of course).

There are two variations of the Sphynx cat, both of which originated in the 1970s. The first came from the home of Target, Minnesota, in 1975. The other, classified as the Canadian Sphynx, was first spotted in Toronto, Ontario, three years later.
