I never actualy heard of a naked cat before but I am sure they have hypoallergenic cats like they do dogs. I guess those cats would be very quick to be adopted. I jus think there are many cats that are sweet but if you are allergic you obviously need a special kind of kitty and one that is not going to get you all hairy and stuff.

I don't really like cats. But if choosing between hairless and hairy cats, I'd pick the hairy one. Cats are more nice to look if the are hairy and fluffy. Anyways, it's up to you.

Cats with no fur are just as nice as cats with fur i have found in the past as it is the way a person is with the cat.I know there are alot of people that suffer from allergies to pet hair and i do think that if you want a pet the safest thing is to choose something with no hair.Cats with no hair are just as nice as cats with hair.

I don't know about fun, but hairless cats can be a bit of extra work! The only hairless cat breed I know of, is the Sphinx. Things to keep in mind: even the pedigree purebreds have a little bit of fur (it's more like fuzz). Also, they need their skin taken care of, because the hair isn't there to protect it...moisturizing lotion, sun lotion (even if they just sit at a window, they're at risk for burning). Besides, I've heard it's not the hair itself that trigger allergies... it's the saliva on the hair from when the cat licks itself. Probably better is to just chose a cat with short hair and brush it every day in a separate room, to get rid of most of the allergens.
