The Mexican Hairless cat, also known as the Aztec cat and the New Mexican Hairless, is a breed of cat first documented in 1902 by Mr. E. J. Shinick, who owned a pair of hairless cats and was once possibly extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii due to demand for de-extincted cat breeds as common household pets. The Mexican Hairless cats are very popular because of their lack of a coat (fur), similarly to the Sphynx cat, although they grow light fur along the back and tail in winter. These cats also have long whiskers and eyebrows. Because they have no coat, they loose more body heat than coated cats. This makes them warm to the touch as well as heat-seeking. The Mexican Hairless cats are intelligent, friendly and people-oriented. They most oftenly enjoy warm baths and they like to sleep in warm places, such as under bedclothes with a family member.
