Hey, guys!
What's up?
It's Mike.
The other day, we got a little visit from our neighbor,
and she had a little request.
Well, she was going away for the weekend,
and she wanted us to watch after her sphinx cat.
You know, those hairless, terrifying little beasts?
And the only thing I could think was,
I don't want to be followed around the house
by a little tiger fetus all day.
But of course Zoya was like, come on, it's a cat,
and it's just for the weekend, lets do
it, several other things.
I kinda-- I zoned out after awhile.
And I said no, no, bad, bad-- she hates that-- bad.
No cat.
No cat.
Bad.
Eventually, Zoya got real fed up and just walked away,
and I turned to my neighbor and said,
I'm not watching your sphinx cat.
Sphinx cats are wild animals.

Sphinx cats are hairless because of genetic mutation and cross
breeding.
And it's not like a cool, superhero genetic mutation.
They're just bald.
Did you know you've got to wash these things like once
a week because their skin is prone to bacteria,
and excretes things like oils, and it
makes me things like freaked out?
Any creepy naked animal who excretes things from its skin
is going to be a general no from me.
We're going to need hand sanitizer just to pet it.
Having one of these things is a lot
like having one of those old school Woolly Willy games.
Only replace the magnets with germs and excretions.
Here's a fun fact, compared to other cats,
their ears produce an abundance of dark earwax.
This is making literally any other breed
of cat not that bad of an idea.
Because of its hairlessness, is extremely sensitive to the sun,
and extremely sensitive to the cold.
That's fun.
It's a fun knock-out collabo.
So we've got sunburn on one side, hypothermia on the other,
you combine them both, you just have
a pissed off, uncomfortable pet.
Major, if you can't handle it, ***.
Sphinx cats defecate, the poops, twice as much as normal cats.
Every new fact is making me want one of these a lot more.
Sphinx cats, like a lot of other cats,
require a series of vaccines.
They get them at six to eight weeks, 11 to 13 weeks,
and 16 to 18 weeks.
Not to mention the shots that we're
going to need to get rid of all the scabies.
Just real quick, are we babysitting a cat,
or a bag of diseases?
Not to mention, if you end up falling
in love with this thing, it's going
to cost me anywhere from 8 to $1,500, which
is one of many reasons why we can't baby
sit our neighbor's sphinx cat.
