Legs
Length in proportion with body, medium long. Hind legs slightly longer than front. Front legs widely set. Medium boning, firm und muscular.
Paws – oval with long slender, prominent toes. Pads thicker than in other breeds, giving the cat the appearance of walking on "air cushions"

Tail

Coat and skin
Texture – appears hairless, may be covered with short, fine down. Charmois-like a feeling of resistance may be felt when stroking the skin of some cats.
Wrinkles – wrinkled skin desirable especially around the muzzle, between the ears and around the soulders, although wrinkling should not be so pronoounced that it affects the cat's normal functions.
Short, soft, fine hair is allowed on the feet, across the bridge of the nose and cheekbones, at the back of the ears, the scrotum and the tip of the tail.
Colour – all colour varieties and patterns are permitted, including those with white. Any amount of white is permitted.

– males may be significantly larger so long as proper proportions are maintained,
– the Sphynx is sweet-temepred, lively, intelligent and amenable to handling.
