Cat lovers all across the globe are enamored with the distinctive and intriguing Sphynx breed. We will explore the temperament, history, and physical traits of the Sphynx cat breed in this chapter, offering a thorough overview of this fascinating feline friend. The Sphynx Cat's History: Despite what many people think, Sphynx cats do not have no hair at all. Its texture is velvety and suede-like, thanks to a thin covering of downy fur. The breed's beginnings may be found in Toronto, Canada in the 1960s, when a hairless kitten called Epidermis was born to a domestic cat named Prune. The Sphynx cat breed as it exists today was founded on this kitten. The 1970s saw the start of selective breeding in an attempt to create a strong and healthy breed of hairless cats. In order to add genetic variety and improve the health and temperament of the Sphynx, breeders bred Prune's progeny with American Shorthair and Devon Rex cats. Material Properties: The primary characteristic that sets the Sphynx cat apart from other cats is that it is hairless, while some may have sparse coverings of fine hair on their nose, tail, and ears. The Sphynx's wrinkled skin, which varies in texture and hue, is visible due to its lack of hair. Many people say that the skin feels warm and velvety to the touch, like chamois cloth or a peach. Although they don't have hair, Sphynx cats are renowned for having a strong, muscular physique. Their physique is medium in size, with a rounded belly, powerful legs, and a wide chest. They have a wedge-shaped head, with huge ears, cheekbones, and expressive eyes that are blue, green, and gold in hue. Temperature and Character: Sphynx cats are well known for being extroverted and loving. They cling tightly to their human partners and are very social creatures. Sphynx cats are neither distant or hostile, in contrast to several other cat breeds. Rather, they prefer their owners' companionship and are often referred to as "velcro cats" because of their inclination to stay near. These cats are very bright and gregarious; they often look for chances to play games and have fun. They love to explore their surroundings and take in new sights and noises. They have an inquisitive and daring nature. Sphynx cats are also well-known for being talkative animals that can communicate with a range of chirps, trills, and meows.

Whether it was bathing, feeding or taking care of our animals, my family ensured that the animals got the best of everything. These animals were the centre of all our activities. There was not a single day that did not begin with a discussion about our pets. What to feed them? How to take care of a cat or dog that is ailing? What is the most nutritious thing to feed them? These were common dinner table conversations while I was growing up. So, needless to say, I have had a lot of practical training with respect to taking care of different breeds of animals.

Considered by many to be a founder of Afrofuturism, Sun Ra—aka Herman Blount—was a composer, keyboardist, bandleader, philosopher, entrepreneur, poet, and self-proclaimed extraterrestrial from Saturn. He recorded over 200 albums with his Arkestra, which, dressed in Egypto-space costumes, played everything from boogie-woogie and swing to fusion and free jazz. John Szwed's Space is the Place is the definitive biography of this musical polymath, who was one of the twentieth century's greatest avant-garde artists and intellectuals. Charting the whole of Sun Ra's life and career, Szwed outlines how after years in Chicago as a blues and swing band pianist, Sun Ra set out in the 1950s to impart his views about the galaxy, black people, and spiritual matters by performing music with the Arkestra that was as vital and innovative as it was mercurial and confounding. Szwed's readers—whether they are just discovering Sun Ra or are among the legion of poets, artists, intellectuals, and musicians who consider him a spiritual godfather—will find that, indeed, space is the place.
