This is another photo of Cherry Jubilee. It will be used in the TICA yearbook and by Donna, her owner, to brag about her. Although a lot of people consider the Sphinx to be "exceptionally ugly",
'the reason God put fur on cats", they are very affectionate, playful and interesting creatures. No, they aren't soft and furry, making them great for people with allergies, but they don't feel as tough and leathery as they look. If you get the chance, definitely check one out. I think you will be surprised.

This is Cherry Jubilee, a champion Black Tortie and White Sphinx from the Fort Worth area. She is just one of the purebred cats I photographed this weekend. This is my favorite shot from her session. Goldie, one of my big boys was coming hesitantly down the stairs behind me and Cherry really wanted to check him out. Goldie doesn't like cats coming into the studio and was fluffed up to look much more than his 20 pounds. Cherry didn't seem anxious, just very curious. Goldie kept going so we never did find out what might have happened between them.
