Donskoy are affectionate, intelligent, and easy-going. They demand lots of attention and interaction. The Donskoy also gets along well with other pets. It is now thought the same gene that causes degrees of hairlessness in the Donskoy also causes alterations in cat personality, making them calmer the less hair they have.

About Donskoy
The Donskoy cat, also known as Don Sphynx or Russian Hairless, is a hairless cat breed of Russian origin. It is not related to the better-known Sphynx cat whose characteristic hairlessness is caused by a recessive mutation in the keratin 71 gene. The Donskoy's hairlessness, on the other hand, is caused by a dominant mutation.
