Petting her is like petting suede or a velvet Elvis—it's not weird at all. I give her regular baths, and she sleeps in her bed next to my pillow every night, which is quite comforting. I'm all she's ever known. I've had many cats, but none like this. Sphynx are very doglike in their energy and companionship, though they are still very much cats. I am her human, and I am grateful to have her by my side. :)
