So, in Oregon, there’s this family who decided to add a new member to their crew—a hairless Sphinx cat! And let me tell you, the kids’ reactions to their unique new pet are absolutely priceless, and the internet can’t get enough of it!
The TikTok clip capturing the kids’ candid response to their new furry friend has gone completely viral. We’re talking over 9 million views and counting! The kids, with no filter whatsoever, express their mixed feelings about the odd-looking kitty.
Nine-year-old Amelia isn’t exactly thrilled about the idea of having a hairless cat as a pet. She’s like, “Ew, ew, oh my God, what is that?” as she takes a few steps back from the little black kitten. Meanwhile, her brother Baron looks utterly shocked and asks the million-dollar question: “Will it get hair?”
Now, the kitten causing all the commotion is Mew, a Sphinx cat known for its hairless appearance. Despite the kids’ initial reactions, Mew’s owners, Lea Hoover and her boyfriend Ben, had been dreaming of having a Sphinx cat for ages. When the opportunity arose, they didn’t hesitate to bring Mew home.
But hey, the kids were expecting a fluffy ball of fur, not a hairless cutie! Understandably, they were a bit taken aback. TikTok users totally felt for the kids, sympathizing with their surprise and maybe even disappointment.
Some comments were like, “They thought they were getting a cute fuzzy kitten and they got Dobby instead.” And you can’t blame them; one of the best things about kitties is their soft fur, right?
However, it seems the kids quickly warmed up to their new buddy. According to Lea Hoover, they got over their initial shock pretty fast, proving that sometimes, a unique pet can win over even the most skeptical hearts!
