The Sphynx Collection

One of my clients breeds Sphynx and Lykoi cats and I get to go up every few months and take some photos of the kittens. My client lets me do anything I want with them, which is a lot of fun.

They are fascinating creatures, almost alien in their appearance.In this session, we had one kitten that was a split odd-eye. An odd-eye by itself is one eye is one color, the other is another.

One of my clients/friends is Jayne Baker-Harrower, who runs the Bare Enough Sphynx Cattery in Phelan. Jayne and I met at a cat show last December when she was showing Channing, her Lykoi cat, which is one of the new breeds of cat. Lykois are called the werewolf cat, and the appearance  of their sparse fur is a natural mutation, not a designer breed. Jayne will be breeding Lykois though the first ones won't be available until next year.But her Sphynx are available and Jayne was recently contacted by Kateryna Shalayeva, lead singer of the band Stereolizza, because she wanted to use a Sphynx in her latest music video. So Jayne made the long trek to Los Angeles (with her adorable ...
