00:23

friendly she will not stop

00:25

purring she's doing this little kind of

00:28

coughing breathing thing which the

00:30

owners are aware of and she's already

00:32

seen a vet for it so if you see her

00:34

doing that there's nothing to be

00:36

concerned about the vet says that she is

00:38

00:40

00:49

00:54

kitten yes you

00:56

are what a good kitty what a good girl

01:01

you

01:01

[Music]

01:02

are you're like a mega purr I don't

01:07

think I've ever seen a cat purse so

01:11

much these nails don't really need to be

01:16

clipped look at her she just wants to

01:18

rub into me look at her oh my God you're

01:21

so

01:25

sweet

01:28

yeah Sphinx are actually one of my

01:30

all-time favorite cat breeds this is her

01:33

first bath today and she will be getting

01:35

lots and lots of baths in her whole life

01:39

so let's see how you do

01:41

this good

01:44

kitty good

01:47

kitty this sponge was way too big for

01:50

you I

01:52

seriously underestimated

01:54

how freaking small you were going to

01:58

be

02:07

it's okay it's okay okay we're just

02:09

going to we're just going to rub you up

02:12

okay I'm going to get rid of that

02:14

sponge so Sphinx have really really

02:18

wonderful personalities they are unlike

02:20

most cat breeds they are extremely

02:23

loving and affectionate and one of the

02:26

reasons why they are like that is

02:27

because they don't have any hair so they

02:29

are often very cold so they love

02:32

snuggling up to their humans because

02:34

their humans give them warmth right so

02:37

that's one of the reasons but they are

02:39

just one of your naturally far more

02:42

relaxed cat breeds than pretty well any

02:46

I'm not going to say any other breed but

02:48

they're pretty high up there every

02:49

Sphinx cat I've ever met has been just

02:52

an absolute pleasure to work with and

02:55

I've met them in their home environments

02:57

as well and they're just such great cats

03:00

oh don't

03:03

cry I know you're going to be cold but

03:06

the water is nice and

03:09

warm the reason why these cats have to

03:12

be bathed they're they're actually

03:14

supposed to be bathed weekly is because

03:17

they don't have any fur so the oils on

03:19

their skin attract a lot of dirt and

03:21

dust and then it can cause kind of like

03:24

blackheads all over their body where the

03:26

dirt and dust will get stuck in their

03:28

pores so they actually do need to be

03:31

bathed once a week in order to keep them

03:32

clean but the good news is that when you

03:35

bathe them from a young age they're very

03:37

used to it and most people do not have a

03:40

problem caring for their Sphinx

03:43

cats another thing is that their nail

03:46

beds need to be cleaned out you can

03:48

either put them in a bathtub or you can

03:50

use just a cloth or a wipe because their

03:55

nail beds get the most dirty out of any

03:58

other part of their body so in between

04:00

their nails then you have to retract

04:02

their claws and clean all of that she's

04:05

fairly clean obviously because she is

04:07

brand

04:09

new okay where you going

04:12

ma'am yeah it's okay it's basically over

04:16

it's basically

04:20

over so I'm going to take her out of

04:22

here this is just soapy water then I'm

04:24

going to just give her a quick rinse to

04:26

make sure there's no soap sitting on her

04:28

coat

04:30

I am using just a little bit of nasty

04:32

Critter today in here because that is

04:34

safe for puppies and

04:36

kittens okay I'm taking you out I'm

04:39

taking you

04:41

out just want to make sure there's no

04:44

soap on you Missy M no

04:47

soap nice and

04:55

[Music]

04:58

clean

05:00

oh you are so freaking

05:04

sweet I love the Sphinx maybe I'll get a

05:07

sphinx now I'm going to wipe her

05:10

down with a hypoallergenic wipe for dogs

05:14

and

05:17

cats as you can see lots of dirt grime

05:20

gunk coming out of her ears so I notice

05:23

that her ears are still quite

05:27

dirty but I can only get them clean

05:30

if she stays

05:34

still

05:36

sory they're

05:40

gunky obviously you don't want to go too

05:42

far down CU you don't want to go into

05:45

the ear

05:53

canal and this isn't infection this is

05:55

just wax and

05:58

dirt come here they don't have the hair

06:02

in their ears kind of like

06:04

people

06:06

oh

06:09

where it prevents the dirt from going

06:15

in the owner just cleaned her ears out

06:18

last night

06:21

too that's

06:28

gross

06:30

she doesn't like it but she's so

06:33

good oh my gosh I don't think I'm going

06:36

to be able to get this out with four

06:38

Q-tips I'm going to need more that's

06:58

gross

07:02

I'm

07:16

sorry cannot believe how much Gunk you

07:18

got in

07:20

there okay well that's a lot better than

07:23

when you came

07:25

in so right before I was about to send

07:28

her home I realized that her nail beds

07:30

were still dirty so this is what I got

07:34

out of her nail

07:35

beds all of this that's one side and

07:39

that's the other side that's how dirty

07:41

they were I literally thought it was

07:43

just the color of her nails and then I

07:45

realized that it wasn't and it was

07:47

actually all

07:48

dirt getting a sphinx cat is definitely

07:51

a high maintenance pet don't think

07:53

because they don't have any fur that

07:55

they aren't high maintenance sure

07:56

they're not going to shed all over your

07:58

house and another important thing to

08:00

note is that just because they don't

08:02

have any fur doesn't mean that people

08:04

who are allergic to cats won't be

08:06

allergic to a hairless cat they

08:08

absolutely will be allergic to a

08:09

hairless cat these cats are not

08:11

hypoallergenic they still produce dander

08:13

and protein in their saliva that people

08:16

are allergic to and because they lick

08:19

themselves that protein goes all over

08:20

their skin and so can still cause an

08:23

allergic reaction to people who are

08:25

allergic to cats oh but you won't

08:28

shuttle over someone's house and that is

08:29

a plus Miss Cute Kitten here is all

08:32

finished she did great for her first

08:34
