When I was doing Home Health Nursing, I had a patient who had her cat shaved in the summer. It looked terrible and acted embarresed.

A friend of mine has a hairless and his name is Ozzy. Now ozzy feels very much like a sun-warmed peach. They do require some care because of the natural oils in their skin. They need to be bathed at least once a week maybe even more depending on the cat. They also should not be declawed because of the way their claws sit in the pads on their feet. This one also has a wardrobe. He has t-shirts for winter months. They get cold easily. Ozzy sits on top of the TV to keep warm. He is a character and very much loved by his family.

I agree with not getting a cat declawed as they actually amputate their toes to get the claw out, it's horrible!

Look for a very very shorthaired cat or kitten.
Some oriental shorthairs or siamese don't shed enough to notice.
Go to an animal shelter and search many times. It may take a while to find one. My last one was a black tabby. She did not have an undercoat, just a half inch long glossy outercoat. They look very sleek.

Maybe, I will just not get me a kitty right now. Maybe someday again. I feel soo bad about getting my last one declawed. I did not look into it that much.
