The Arrival Of My Hairless Goblin Son

so i'm a mother my cat lady potential has finally been unlocked uh and yes he's already a tumblr sensation do you see this do you see this little dweeb real nature facts about the vengus correct vegas anatomy includes rat tail big wacky goblin ears of a little grabby hands big potato butt do not be fooled the bingus is in fact a fierce murderer who thirsts for the blood and flesh of worm the size of worm is irrelevant the bengus can be found in a variety of dens that are not and have never been ikea storage son do you see dead people behind the tap story waiting to eat your toes or passed out on the person of one of his mothers because he is a needy little boy affectionate obviously so my insane cat lady potential it has finally finally come to fruition i have i have a son boy and i'm obsessed with him and i want to talk about him so this video is pretty much about my first week to two weeks i think this video will go up probably around the two-week mark of adopting a three-month-old sphinx kitten why i chose this breed the process of getting him how he's been settling in my bingo's name is officially kaushik after the cat from welcome to nightvale i don't stand welcome to nightville anymore i mean i did when i was like 13 but i just always thought that was a really cool name ever since i heard it on that show everyone in my life seems to think it's too weird and just calls him bingus but okay fine whatever fine it's cool it's great the name kaushik means darkness or it's kind of based on the hebrew word for darkness i know it's not pronounced the same way if you look it up it'll tell you the correct hebrew pronunciation but i'm just going with the pronunciation that they say on night vale uh which is pretty much exactly how it's spelled i always planned that if i got a black cat i would name it that he's technically more gray he's not really a black cat but he undoubtedly has spooky cat rights and therefore it's fine i still think the name is fitting for him even if he almost never gets called kaushik he's got a million different nicknames mostly bingus bean rotisserie chicken chicken man poopy boy poopy boys because on the second the second morning that we had him he went in his litter box in the morning and uh step stepped and accepted his little poopy and then jumped right back onto our bed and left us a little poopy footprint so now he's poopy boy and he'll never live that down but before we get into it i need to tell you about this video sponsor harry's i shave my cat with harry's razors harry's is passionate about

scheduled content i only shave my cat with harry's razors okay but i'm sorry with your best so how did i go about acquiring a poopy boy well this was the first picture that i ever saw of him and i was like that that's him that's that's my boy that's just the huge blue eyes the ears just this i saw this picture and i was like that's the most perfect cat in the entire world but like he's so perfect he's obviously objectively like this this cat that is that is that is a cat so like naturally i'm like he must have been adopted already like there's no way i'm gonna get him ships in the night alas this was the picture of the whole litter and i was like okay even even if even if the perfect boy has been spoken for i'm still interested in seeing these kittens so i messaged the breeder and i'm like hey are any of these cats still available and she's like why yes which one would you be interested in and i was like well you know ideally the one with like the little snoot and like the him but like they're all really cute and i'm okay with it if you've spoken for and she was like oh him the boy you want the boy he is available and he has these the best boy he has the best personality some of the other ones they're a little bit more independent but him he's the best boy and i was like okay i will come see him i'm coming to see him tomorrow i've been planning to wait to get a cat because we're moving at the end of this month i was just starting to look into things because like i know a lot of readers have wait lists and like i thought it was going to be a long process so i was like okay i'll just i'll go and like i'll kind of see like how things tend to go and like i have no experience sussing out breeders so i'm like okay i'll just go and like see as if i wasn't going to imprint on him the second that i saw him so i ended up with a bingus within a week of that visit and just to address a little bit of the discourse before i go any further i know there's discourse around adoption versus buying your cats from breeders absolutely adopted there's no reason to get a pet from a breeder if you can find a pet that you really connect with in a shelter but i very specifically wanted a sphinx cat i did a lot of research and it just seemed like the breed was really perfect for me i can be like a very like obsessively clean person sometimes like it bothers me a lot if my space is messy and pet like pet hair just don't vibe i really wanted a non-shedding pet and kristin has mine are cat allergies sphinx cats like no cat no cat is 100 hypoallergenic obviously but it does help a lot if they don't have any hair so and she's had no issues with him only having minor allergies if you have very severe cat allergies you will probably still be allergic to a sphinx cat i researched a few nonshooting cat breeds and for a while i really wanted a devon rex but what swayed me towards sphynx cats was all of the research i did seem to just confirm that they have really loving and dog-like personalities and i remember telling kristen this she's she's had her skepticisms about sphinx cats she just didn't want to like him for the longest time but you know she's bonded with the boy the biggest kaushik she's bonded with him it's so it's fine it's fine now but she she had a reservation she refused to believe me that they had great personalities because they ten they tend to be a little bit scary looking to some people they tend to have little like resting angry sphynx face they don't always look very friendly but everything i read was just like they're they're just the friendliest cats they have very dog-like personalities uh and i grew up with a dog a non-shedding a non-shedding dog he's parked poodle i have a picture of him right here look at him and he's ruined me forever because i really wanted i specifically wanted a non-shedding very dog-like cat so i decided i said hey the sphinx cat is the cat for me and that means that i have to go to a breeder so how in the heck does that whole process even work there are a lot of weird douchey breeders out there that are just that will charge you like three thousand dollars for like a perfect purebred specimen with no weird ugly asymmetrical markings or anything like that and i just that was not like that i did not vibe it already feels like weird enough to be like purchasing a living creature that i did not want to go to like a very weird douchey objectifying breeder like that so i weeded out those ones in my area pretty quickly um and i narrowed it down to some that seemed okay but i still wasn't gonna go to i wasn't gonna get a cat from anyone without like going to visit and seeing how they were raised and seeing the cats etc so we went to see him uh i did not know this before arriving but the breeders were a lesbian couple as well and they were they were so nice and i saw him and he was perfect and i was like that's it that's him that's my son boy sunboy aloud now having lived with him for a little while i can confirm um what she was telling me originally about him having such a good personality he's the perfect cat it felt kind of impulsive to just get a cat earlier than i had been planning um and to go through a move soon but like i chose so well he is the best cat that i have ever met in my entire life i all my friends that i go over to your house and i squish your cats i love your cats your cats are good i like cats but this this cat is the best cat my cat my cat is the best cat ever in the world he's so affectionate he loves people even even strangers he's just so friendly and even when he piss him off like the most he'll do is like the tiniest little scream in the entire world like when you hold him too long and he wants to be put down he's just like he'll never scratch or bite you like he spends all of his like sleepy sleepy nap time parts of his days curled up either like on me while i'm working hey bud you want to hold hands or right beside kristen in his little wormhole which is his diy cat jungle gym made out of a giant stuffed worm on a beanbag chair obviously uh doesn't your cat have a wormhole it can be very distracting though to be honest like how is anyone supposed to work like this how he's so cute all the time in my good christian vicinity illegal illegal absolutely illegal his most secluded spot like his only like alone time spot is under the bed in my ikea storage bin wait let me just let me show you this a boy for the first couple days that he was here i think he definitely missed his mom and his litter mates because he would go into the hallway and do like the most like sad lonely cat meow he was fine when we were around like he was super cuddly and playful whenever we were around but like it's hard to get any privacy in this apartment there's like two rooms so he would go into the hallway and we'd be out of sight for like two seconds and there was no object permanence he would just go instant emo like i cannot see mothers i cannot see mothers therefore i am alone forever mothers have abandoned me and we'd be like dude no just come back just come out of the hallway come out of the emo hallway i am happy to report at this point he no longer screams in the hallway so that's good he's overall he's settled in he seems like a very happy boy we also have our new place that we're moving to in two weeks already uh so we've taken him there a couple of times and he travels super well we've taken him in uber's and he just he doesn't care he just he just vibes in his little carrier uh the reason i'm telling you this is because i have so many so many cute videos that i want to show you that are taken at the new house and i don't want you to be like where is that so we have a porch there which is just unimaginably luxurious uh when we've been living in condos for years um and we take him out there and we we have a table and we put him in his little crate as like his baby chair at the table we also took him in a hammock with us and he was just looking looking at all the birds and the bugs and just the rustling trees and he was just so entranced by the outdoors oh he sees a bug he's learning about bugs yes he's thinking about wildlife he is wildlife geography um field trip yes he's gonna learn about the birds and the bees the bees and the binges at one point it started absolutely pouring rain and the porch is covered so we were fine um but i thought he was going to be scared by the noise and he was just like no he was just like mesmerized by the falling rain he's literally the best cat in the world so my biggest care essentials i didn't really go to ham buying him stuff before we got him because you never really know what your cat is gonna like to play with and like what their favorite spots are gonna be and what they're gonna find comfy my mom also went sugar grandma and bought him this really cute bed and yet his favorite spots to lounge during the day are ikea storage been under the bed and the wormhole so and those are both things that were pre-existing for his litter box the breeder gave me this like just really super basic box one um but he's a real he's a real digger so i figured i should i should get a covered one i also heard that some cats like privacy in their litter boxes and that's why they like covered ones as well that that part's not really a problem for him like this this will look you dead in the eyes while taking a no privacy needed because he's a poopy boy as we've established i ordered this fancy like egg spaceship looking one but it took forever to come in the mail so i ended up wearing something out of a moving box um paid like 50 for the fancy egg and the diy one works perfectly so what i've learned is just should have stuck to my original principle of not buying too much stuff until i actually know what you know his favorite toys include worm on a string this actual cat toy one that i bought from the like the dollar store which just just regular worms on a string work too if you don't have the fancy stuff from the dollar store sphynx cats of course have some special requirements um again if you're thinking of getting one do your research i don't think any of the requirements are too difficult but again maybe that's because i grew up with a dog they are more work than like a regular cat you do have to make sure that they're eating really well you do have to give them little blankets and things to keep warm they're going to want to sleep under the covers with you and snuggle if you're like me and you're used to having a dog or grow up with a dog but you are living the city 20-something lifestyle and you don't really have time for a dog snake scats are a great option i think they were absolutely a great option for me and you have to bathe them every one to two weeks because they can get oily because he did start to feel a little bit oily yesterday and i was like oh oh i see now i see that i see that i see the oily goblin so i baby wiped him a little bit that's something that kind of helps to tie you over between baths but i think i'm going to give him a bath today i think i'm going to bathe the rat boy it's bingo's bath time oh i was talking to the camera not you wait i gotta get beauty guru shot this is the cutest shampoo that the store had to offer or not shampoo it's body wash you're supposed to use baby body wash on them babies have body wash yes some people say baby shampoo but i got baby body wash i'm gonna add a little bit to the water i think this is having a bubble bath okay hey hey oh how are you how are you doing in here are you good are you good oh no keeping on my it's okay you're really soapy so you better not run away right now you can't you're so slippery he's such a damn chicken oh my god i'm getting in with you by the way this is bonding you see it's okay it's okay you're okay baby okay you can move i think i got him okay okay okay okay this is so cute it's heartbreaking oh you're so angry but you're so cute you're okay he is so mad he's so mad i don't know if he enjoyed that so much uh the plot has thickened some things have happened i did ask you guys on instagram like what what would you be interested in me talking about him like what kinds of things do you want to know about having a sphinx cat and most of the stuff that i've already anticipated and addressed in the first part of this video a lot of the expected stuff and then a couple questions that are just gonna like haunt me until the day that i die like how would you meet if you just met as humans and like what what is that i'm gonna think about that forever i don't i don't know but i want to in other news we went to visit my parents we went to their house and kasich got to meet my dog i wasn't worried about him because the breeder had two big dogs i knew that he was already gonna be comfortable with dogs we were just worried about the dog because he's never like really interact he's never really met a cat ever he's 13. he's never met a cat you know we were like he's not what is he gonna do with it but he pretty much immediately accepted kasich as like this like a weird puppy i think i think he just thought it was a really weird puppy like i said he he is an elderly dog he's 13 years old and he just followed the cat around the house he just followed him everywhere like he was just babysitting this weird puppy and then we found this meme and so my sister and i and kristen have just been screaming about this for days because how did they know also well at my parents place we raided my sister's old american girl doll clothes and found some real winners in less fun news the boy is sick he has i believe an upper respiratory infection which sounds bad but is basically like the equivalent of a cold in humans and it happens mostly to cats well especially kittens um because they're they haven't been vaccinated they have their immune system still developing it happens mostly to kittens who have come from some sort of communal environment like a shelter or breeder um because they pretty much just get it from other cats so we know that he was whatever he has he was incubating this before we got him and these things usually aren't serious unless your cat like has a fever or has trouble eating which he does not he's just very sneezy and congested like sometimes especially at night you hear him breathing beside you and he sounds like so congested and it's so sad and his eyes get like really watery and crusty but he's still playing he still has his crazy hours where he just zooms all over the apartment he's still eating normally he's just goopy he's just a goopy cat i already had a very routine just like hey look at my new kitten kind of that appointment so we mentioned it when we went there and they didn't end up giving him his vaccines that he was due for because obviously his immune system is trash right now so and they also prescribed him an antibiotic which isn't helping because it's been like seven days i was trying to be optimistic at the time but looking back i don't think this vet that we went to passed the vibe check but i was still just like i have my mucousy baby take my 70 for this antibiotic which is to say i have an appointment with a different vet tomorrow so that's where i'm at with my goopy cat and i'm just really hoping that the vet that i go see tomorrow passes the vibe check it's literally right down the street from the other one update on my goopy boy he's a lot less goopy we took him to a different vet um which i think is the vet that i'm going to stay with um they confirmed that he did in fact have a respiratory infection which i'm now realizing the first vent didn't even do didn't even tell me what he thought my cat had but because i had done so much of my own research and was just kind of unconsciously just operating with that assumption this is i guess your lesson that if a vet seems shady or it isn't helping or doesn't really seem to care about your pet you don't have to go back there they don't always know better i just feel fortunate that i feel like i got a good one on the second time around they gave him some eye drops which helped so so much with his goopy eyes um they gave him a different antibiotic you are just so sleepy right now thank you so much for watching this tale of me getting a sphinx cat uh the video turned out to be a lot more eventful than i anticipated even than even i anticipated when i when i started making it there were there were there were more bodily fluids than i thought but i suppose that's parenthood and what is this what is this my actual human baby look at that oh what how you doing there bud oh you're so baby hello okay [Music]

I have lesbian friends who own a sphinx so I'd already told them about Strange Aeons adopting one, but when she said the breeders were also a lesbian couple I fucking lost it. What is the correlation between lesbians and goblincats?!
