My Hairless Cat is a Donskoy NOT a Sphynx!

- Did you know there are other hairless cat breeds besides the Sphynx? Leela is a Donskoy which is a whole different breed! I hope this helps you understand the differences between these two amazing breeds.
I love the concept of a Donskoy; someone really said “make me a hairless cat”, then saw it and was like “nah that’s too hairless”
So they made a cat with the same hair problem as men approaching their 30s
I want a cat with hair like the King of Englands'...
no one said that

I love that donskoys grow into it, they’re kinda like getting an eevee and waiting to see what it’ll evolve into.
You said that Donkoys don't get DCM is that right?
Donskoys
Je n'aimerais pas avoir un tel chat 🥴🤢

@@lisa-ve7vd you’re opinion, hairless cats may not be your favorite cat, but it’s definitely not disgusting, its not their fault they have no hair
Leela is so cute! I love her leg warmers and backless sweater
A total 80s cat! With leg warmers like those, I feel like she needs her own line of exercise videos.
@@coriknight9073 heck yeah!
I love her look. It’s kind of the cat equivalent of a mullet. I just love her floofy paws and chest. Such a unique kitty.
Imagining Leela with a heavy Russian accent is absolutely on point. It fits her personality perfectly. 😂
Omg yes!
She is so beautiful
I wouldn’t mind a hairless cat that looks like Leela. She’s gorgeous. I love her patterns and the little soft curls she has. Very unique.
In Russia this breed is called Donskoy Sphinx, so jokes on you 😂 Leela is my soul ❤❤❤
Thank you for explaining! I honestly love Leela and the way her fur grows! Kind of reminds me of the Chinese crested dogs 😂. I would love to have one some day ❤
Thank you for explaining this. As a vet tech, I hadn’t heard of a Donskoy so I appreciate your very detailed explanation. ❤
Leela is so adorable! I love her almond shaped eyes. They are gorgeous and so expressive. You have won me over with these precious cats. 🩷🩷🩷
Never seen cats with curls before. Such a cute thing
There are quite a few curly cat breeds. Search for "rex cats"
Thank you! This was really informative. I love the way she looks 😊.
these cats are my favorite!!!!! they’re so funky and look so cute. so regal with her chest puff!
She is just beyond adorable!! I love the partial hair look. She knows she is just beautiful & can wear that look like no one else! 🐾🐾❤️❤️😺😺🐾
I think she looks fancy like she’s accessories with really cool leg warmers. ♥️
I loved this! We have 2 sphynx', and the whole genetic question fascinates me!
Watched this over & over.
They are so beautiful ❤
The major difference seems to be in the muzzle!
I’m glad I now know about donskoys! :D
Well, Donskoy is still a Sphinx, this breed is officially called “Donskoy Sphinx” 🤥
She's a Drop Dead Gorgeous Queen 👑!!!
I love how you express that there is a difference between Sphinx and Donskoy. Honestly, I learned something new today, and I appreciate it ❤
Aww she looks like such a sweetie
Ok so a bit of a tangent but I don't think it's fair to say that they're not sphynxes just from the point of language, "donskoy" is an adjective referring to the city of Rostov-on-Don (Don being the river it was built around) where they were first bread, and in the russian language the breed is usually referred to as "donskoy sphynx". I always saw them as two types of sphynxes -- I mean, the word is basically used as a synonym for "hairless [cat]" in the names of both the Canadian and the Russian Hairless
There is nothing to do with sphynx realy,, they called sphynx just cause of familyarity
@@Artem30132 sure, I know the story of how they were bred, I was mostly arguing that the word "sphynx" seems to be used interchangeably with "hairless" in regards to both breeds (and not exclusively to describe the Canadian ones) - although I'm a linguist, my knowledge about cats is pretty casual, so maybe there are purists out there who wouldn't agree
It's not a language thing. It's a genetic thing.
They are two genetically distinct types of cat with two completely different health requirements.
It's actually not fair to call them the same just because they look similar.
i totally get what you’re saying, but a sphynx is a purebred cat breed. even if a cat is hairless and has all the same features as a sphynx, it’s only a sphynx if it descends from the original cats used to breed sphynxes. just like not every small dog with pointy ears is a chihuahua
All 3 of your kitty's are adorable (even though Roswell is no longer earthbound, he will always be carried on through the memories that you've captured and shared with us). I've learned more about these two breed types in the short amount of time I've been watching your channel (I'm a new subscriber 😊)
Such cute kittes! I've also seen some people mix up peterbald and sphynx!
I looked up Peterbalds. It seems like maybe they’re a cross between a Donskoy and an Oriental Shorthair? (They have that same hair losing gene and same coat patterns.) Which is SUPER CUTE. I love Oriental Shorthairs because of their HUGE ears and their little triangular faces 😂❤
@@everlasting9292 yes they are hairless oriental shorthairs 😀 I've had oriental shorthairs my whole life, my mom was a oriental and Siamese breeder, and now as an adult I still have to have orientals haha 😂They are just amazing. I would love to have a peterbald some day but they are really rare in my country.
I so love her she as absoutly beautiful, trying so hard for my Roswell yep I claimed him long ago, thank you Lindsey, love peace and blessings you’re SO SMART! ✌️🙏🏽❤️💕😿😭
This is very informative!
Thank you for a lovely lesson, dear Lindsey Kuzmin! 😻
Just tell them, "none of the above, she's a Naked Mole Rat wearing chaps!!" (In the cutest way of course 😺🥰💕)
You are the perfect mommy for your beautiful hairless trio..I loved this video. It was so interesting and educational.
Донской (Donskoy) is an adjective, so she is still sphynx, Донской сфинкс ☺️💕😸
She’s such a beautiful cat
BB LEELA! I love her coat, it’s like she’s wearing pants on ALL her legs.
I've never heard of Donskoy until I saw Leela. She is so cute with her furry boots.
She's so cute I love her attitude n stomps
She’s so precious with her little beard.
She’s beautiful! I would love a Donskoy, are you in Canada? Having troubles finding a breeder!
Beautiful baby! Thank you for sharing the information!
Keep the breeds healthy.... thank you for that important info ❤
They're, actually kinda cute. Bushy half fluff goof. Gimme gimme.
I love her she’s so beautiful 💗💖
I LOVE LEELA!!!! I love the way she looks.
She's gorgeous
I think she’s beautiful. Love her look.
i love Leelahs boots with the fur
Leela was a cute kitten and I love her tuffs hair.
She's pretty and really chill..
Actually it's still a sphynx, it's full breed name is donskoy sphynx. Maybe we have different traditions in breed naming. Yet in russia, where these (donskoy) cats are originated from, there are many sphynxes (breed types) with different body type: donskoy, canadian, peterbald. I'm not an expert on dna though. But skin/fur types you mentioned refers to all of them.
Peterbald is offbreed of Donskoy, they are related. Sphynx is completely different unrelated breed. DNA difference here is very important. Active gene means only one parent has to have half the gene and any cat bred with Donskoy will loose hair with 50% chance. Passive gene means BOTH parents has to have the same full gene pair and Sphynx bred with any cat with hair will most likely result in a hairy cat (unless hairy parent has a hidden bold Sphynx gene, which is unlikely). Moreover, the genes for Donskoy and Sphynx boldness are completely different and do not form a pair. Crossing Donskoy with Sphynx with 50% chance may result in a full hair cat as it would lack the active half bold gene of Donskoy but there would be only one half of the required Sphynx's full passive gene. The other 50% would be kittens with Donskoy hair traits.
She's a cutie ❤
Thank you for this video! I now have changed my mind on getting a Canadian and will be getting a rubber don this year!
She looks like shed fit in the old Cats musical.
You are so wellinformed.Thanks for sharing.
Shes so beautiful inside and out! ❤️
I love her! I think she's beautiful!! 💗💗💗💗💗💗
But we love both your cats. Leela is too cute ❤❤
Baby Leela 🥰 soooo lovely
I actually love her patchy hair
Aww so sweet 🥰 I still prefer my floofy ragdoll but I wanted a living stuffy toy 😂
We were told our kitten was a Sphinx/Devon Rex cross. Initially he had a beautiful curly coat that he ended up losing except for his legs and patches here and there. We thought he was just really strange until my daughter came across your video. Did some more research and now we are certain he is not a Sphinx at all but rather a Donskoy😂 We finally have something to tell people when they ask us about our 'strange cat'
Omg! Does your kitty have crinkly whiskers??
Such gorgeous babies~
I have never heard of a donskoy before so i thank you for teaching me something new
I love Leela's furry pants!!!
Wow. What an education. U explained it purrfectly😜 and made it so much fun. Couldnt wait for the next pics & info. Ive had cats form many, many years, have aquired lots of info, but never even heard of the Donskoy Breed!🙀 Thanks for all that grt info & esp learned so much anout Miss Leela❤🤍🤍🤎🤎🤍🤍
(Side note: I just love your voice. So succinct, and at the same time very warm. You can tell that you love passing on all thst your videos entail (your precious Babies, Sphynx/hairless care/how to impeccably care for our furrbabies etc. All in awesome, colorful to look at style throughout your home (❤ the rug, blankets etc) & there is not a better outfitted pet anywhere! (Its painful to see animals clothed by people who have no sense of how the pet can't stand it, even tho its written all over their face. This is never the case on your channel. Babies are dressed to the hilt and love their incredibly snuggly bathrobes, buried in snuggle blankets, COLORFULL ear covers for protection during "spa time" as you feed them delicious goo to duvert any possible stress etc.. And u take as much time ad it takes, with kindness, love & empathy to get your cats use to harnesses & carriages so they can have a much better, bigger & fun quality of life.
I know this is long, but its only because aaaalll of these things are so true!!
Lllooove your videos and your little ones. You are an amazing Mama to them.😇😺😸😸😸
Thanx for sharing it with all of us!! & putting all that love and kindness out in this world!!!
Love the video and the spreading of the information about this breed of cat. ❤❤❤❤
I love both sphinx and donskoy's they look like my weird cat tinkerbell I found her in an ally and after a few years she lost half her hair she is super intelligent
My girlfriend has a "rubber" type donskoy and she is literally the happiest cat ive ever met. And i love the way she feels. Sphinx also come in patchy coats. It just depends what else is in their genetic code that still has fur.
What cuties!!
I love donskoys! Smile they are, as far as I know, the only hairless cat with a dominant gene!
She’s beautiful! ❤😊❤
She's so Beautiful ❤
I love her
He certainly does!
Love her curly whiskers
Do they have any known health problems like sphinxes do? The heart thing is the main reason putting me off a sphinx, and those fuzzy boots are adorable!
Gorgeous 🥰 so majestic ❤️
She is so cute 🥰
If I had a cat like that I would name it Pants
I’m obsessed with her🥹🥹🥹
❤ she is so beautiful.
the thumbnail made me think this was a shitpost 💀💀💀
What a sweet kittymew❤
Omg she's so pretty
Leela is beautiful!
She’s got legwarmers
I would ADORE a Donskoy but all my cats have been rescues. Maybe some day I'll discover one to rescue though!
Theres a breed called Canadian Sphinx?.... we have to start building a monument!
She’s so cute 🥰
Today I learned about Donskoys. Thanks
Leela is so pretty Thank you I did not know this information Very interesting!😊
Really cute. I think she is really pretty. ❤
Your cat looks like a mythical creature from anime
Great educational vid. Thanks! ❤
She's wearing two pairs of pants. ❤️
We love them they are beautiful❤️💕😿love you miss you Roswell, love peace and blessings , thank you for your smarts,, I hate hcm
I do kinda love Leela's coat, though. The photo of the brush type after hair loss you showed just looked kinda stupid but Leela nails that medium amount a lot better. It doesn't look like she was shaved in some areas and left as is in others, you know?
She’s awesome 🤩😻😻👍
Cats without hair : _multiple breeds with pronounced differences_
Cats with hair : “what breed is your cat?” “Cat”
She really looks a lot like Russian blues without hair on her face.
So sad that the Donskoy and Sphinx breeds are prone to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I lost a domestic shorthair Tortie to the condition at 5 years old, and to add to the horror of her death, it was my birthday and she died in my arms. FHCM is a curse on all mammals, including us. But we can be fixed with a heart transplant. Not so for our beloved pets. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
She mentioned in the video that Donskoy don't carry the gene for HCM (which I'm assuming is an abbreviation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), I'm sorry for your loss though.
@@i_dont_xard Any mammal can developed the disease. The Donskoy breed may be lacking the FHCM gene, but genetics has a way of affecting any animal by plain old chromosomal mutation. Plain and simple … none of us are safe because of the way genetics works. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
…what a strange creature 😆
