The Baron Studied His Pocket Watch and Decided the Court Was Late
With large pointed ears and sharp golden eyes, the gray Sphynx baron peers sideways as though the time has run out. His skin is soft and wrinkled, with a silvery-blue sheen, and a lace cravat is tucked under a crisp white collar. He wears a teal velvet coat with gold braided trim and fringed epaulettes, with a rich burgundy waistcoat embroidered in gold underneath. In one hand he holds a pocket watch, its tiny gold gears just visible. Behind him are patterned green wallpaper and carved wooden paneling.
Sphynx cats look unusual, but they are curious, affectionate, and eager for attention. With little fur to insulate them, they feel the cold more than most cats and often seek warm spots or cuddle up with their people. Their skin produces oil that would normally be absorbed by fur, so regular bathing, as advised by your vet, can help keep them comfortable. Their large ears may need gentle cleaning as well. Because they like to be involved, many Sphynx cats get bored easily, so interactive play, climbing places, and plenty of company are a good idea.
The baron is running late, or perhaps he is simply making everyone else run late on purpose. Either way, the schedule belongs to him alone, and nobody in the whole house dares argue with that stare, which could stop a clock all by itself.
