My top three favorite cat breeds are the Maine Coon, the Ragdoll, and the Sphynx cat. That lineup makes no sense, but it&#8217;s just how I feel! Fluffy cats are awesome, but there&#8217;s something special about the hairless babies, too!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Well, at least I wanted one until I saw this video. The Sphynx cat in this home decided it wasn&#8217;t warm enough, so he turned the heat all the way up to 90 degrees. His mom says he &#8220;yearns for the Sahara,&#8221; and she is 100% correct:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I grew up in a &#8220;never even look at the thermostat&#8221; household, so to see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@eyecanthus\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:@eyecanthus;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;@eyecanthus&quot;}\" class=\"link \">@eyecanthus<\/a> so freely messing with it is crazy! If I turned the heat up to 90 degrees, even for a second, I think my life would have flashed before my eyes!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/paradepets.com\/pet-news\/maine-coon-shares-fur-with-sphynx-kitten\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Fluffy Maine Coon \u2018Shares His Fur\u2019 With Chilly Sphynx Kitten;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Related&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Related: Fluffy Maine Coon \u2018Shares His Fur\u2019 With Chilly Sphynx Kitten<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This boy is pretty new to his home and to TikTok, but already, we can tell that he&#8217;s a lot to handle. In this video, he&#8217;s become &#8220;inhabited by the spirit of an immigrant father,&#8221; turning the thermostat up as high as it will go. He&#8217;s lucky she was right there to notice!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In other videos, the cat is committing other crimes. Namely, he&#8217;s decided he wants to be a pro-wrestler. The first person on his list, of course, is mom. She was not expecting any of this when she adopted him, but it&#8217;s what she got:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That is the funniest thing ever. Though this exact thing hasn&#8217;t happened to me, I know all about getting a pet, thinking you&#8217;re getting a baby, and instead getting an absolute menace. If your pet is a brat, you&#8217;ve done a great job!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Sphynx Cats Need to Stay Warm<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This cat definitely wasn&#8217;t aware that what he was doing would make the house warmer: he probably just saw a fun screen and decided to play with it. However, the way it played out definitely tracks. Sphynx cats love to be warm!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Sphynx cat lying in a fluffy pet bed.Image via Shutterstock &amp;sol; Gera Photo\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/g2YONABtkj5RdJKWBw4BRw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/parade_pets_articles_328\/24c468a6bd05b083bc829dfbef64d8b3\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>Sphynx cat lying in a fluffy pet bed.Image via Shutterstock &amp;sol; Gera Photo<\/p>\n<p><span>(Image via Shutterstock &amp;sol; Gera Photo)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sphynx cats have a layer of &#8220;peach fuzz.&#8221; They&#8217;re able to keep warm to a certain extent, but they need some help.
