Quite a few... and I would imagine every cat has a different amount. ;)
Sphynx cats are knows to many people as a "hairless cat" which they are. However, there are many other types of hairless cats. Also, not all Sphynx cats are completely hairless, there are different degrees of being hairless. The lack of hair on Sphynx cats is caused by a simple genetic mutation. They usually have hair around their nose and ears.

Hairless cats.
to me its the garfeild cats and the Asian cats (the hairless cats)
Not any cat is hairless! They have a thin layer of fuzz you cant see. But yes, if it is a PUREBRED Sphynx cat, it is "hairless"
It's a genetic mutation.
Yes, most mammals have hide and hair, even including whales, although there are some species of moles, cats, dogs, etc., that are hairless.
No they have a fuzz that covers their body.
No, there is no such thing as a hairless tiger species. Tigers have fur that helps regulate their body temperature and provides protection.
That's actually an example of two species. Cats are one, dogs are another. Each of them also has a number of varietals, dogs much more variegated than cats -- from chihuahuas all the way to Great Danes is a single species with a large number of subspecies, while cat varietals range from the hairless Sphinx to the flat-faced Persian.
Hairless cats clean themselves by licking their skin with their rough tongues, similar to how cats with fur groom themselves. They use their saliva to remove dirt and oils from their skin, keeping themselves clean and healthy.
because u dont see them on the road
