The Sphynx Ship Captain Wore a Tricorn Hat and Faced the Open Sea

AI imagesphynx catnapoleonic portraitship captain

Big ears peek out beneath a black tricorn hat with a gold anchor emblem on this Sphynx cat's head, and wide amber eyes look out from a wrinkled pink face. A white cravat sits under the chin, and the navy blue coat has gold trim at the lapels and a fringed epaulette at the shoulder. The background is a dark, moody brown. Captain Biscuit gazes out as though he has charted a course across a rough sea, and the sea has behaved. The hat sits perfectly even on that warm, hairless head.

Sphynx cats have almost no fur, only a fine peach-like fuzz, and that makes some special care necessary. Their skin can get oily, so they may need regular baths, and because they cannot keep warm with fur, they often seek out blankets, sweaters and warm laps. They also need protection from strong sun, and your vet can advise on skin care. Sphynx cats tend to be outgoing, active and affectionate, and they often follow their people around. They need steady meals, since they burn energy to stay warm. Provide climbing spots and warm resting places for them.

A captain does not need fur to command respect. The hat is sharp, the coat is neat, and the sea is calm for as long as he says it is. Should the winds change, the crew can count on a very warm first mate.
