About the Bambino
A cross between Sphynx and Munchkin breeds, creating a hairless short-legged cat. Very new breed, developed in 2005. Bambino means baby in Italian. Despite short legs, they are surprisingly agile and fast. Need regular skin care like Sphynx cats. Warm and soft to the touch. Very social and affectionate. Still rare and controversial due to being a designer breed.
