A sphynx cat owner has taken the internet by surprise after finding out their hairless feline wasn’t just gaining weight—she was pregnant.
The viral moment was shared by TikTok user Xena, known as @famoussphynx. In the video, which has gathered 9.3 million views and 1.6 million likes, the cat is seen licking her round belly before the clip jumps to a shot of two newborn kittens cuddled beside her.
“Wondering why my cat is getting so fat,” reads the text in the video. The caption adds, “Thought I was feeding her too much,” followed by a note confirming, “Yes, we are keeping parents and babies.”
Sphynx cats are known for their hairless appearance and wrinkled skin. They are affectionate, intelligent, and playful, according to pet care site Purina. Despite lacking fur, they need regular grooming to manage skin oils.
Cat pregnancies last about 63 to 65 days. Signs include a growing belly, a bigger appetite, and more loving behavior, as noted by Cats Protection. Experts recommend giving pregnant cats extra care and a quiet, safe space to prepare for birth.
With proper care, sphynx cats can live 13 to 15 years or more. Their health depends on factors like diet, genetics, and regular vet visits. While their hairless nature requires special attention, many owners appreciate their loving and energetic personality.
TikTok users flooded the comments with affection and humor. One wrote, “The raw chicken had more chickens.” Another said, “They’re disgustingly cute.” A third added, “I love how there’s zero wrinkles on her belly—full capacity.”
Others came to the defense of the often-misunderstood breed. “Why do people find hairless cats ugly? They’re adorable,” one user said. Another added, “I will never understand how people hate on hairless cats.”
The unexpected twist and the kittens’ arrival left viewers charmed—and laughing.
