My wife and I like to adopt exotic, high-maintenance cats from people who didn't know what they were getting into and get overwhelmed. We've stuck to Bengals and Savannah Cats until now, but we've always wanted a Sphynx, and we found one. His owner didn't really realize how much care that breed needs, and didn't have the capacity to do it, so we took him. His name is Kevin and he looks like a tiny raw turkey. The other cats already love him.

They need a bath with shampoo every week, and need their ears, paws, eyes, and skin folds cleaned every other day or so. They're also chilly, so they need clothes, but if you don't manage the clothes well they'll get acne. He's a huge sweetheart and rides around on my shoulder. I'm making bread right now with him perched there.
