(Who is Bingus?) Bingus the cat is a hairless sphynx cat popularized by the internet in March of 2020 by an Instagram post. (The person who posted the Bingus Instagram post has allegedly deleted their account due to privacy.) However, his popularity really took off in September 2020 after a viral Reddit post and several other social media shares contained him in memes. The catchy phrase "hi Bingus" became widely used, and he quickly became an internet sensation. (How do I get one?) Buy him from adoption homes, a household that does not want him anymore and is looking to give him away, or just on the internet. (How much does he cost?) Generally you can pay around 1000-5000 dollars for a Bingus, unless a house is giving him away for free. (Can I get one from the wild for free?) No. It is illegal to take a Bingus/sphynx cat from the wild and adopt it into your home. They are a specific breed of DOMESTIC cat and taking one out of its natural habitat without proper permission is against the law in

The United States:
Canada:
The European Union:
Australia: South Africa. (ETC ETC.) If you are interested in buying a Bingus cat, please do more research wherever else you can. (Should I get one?) Yes. If you have disposable income and are looking to adopt a pet, Bingus would be a great choice, if you want a cute, silly, and exotic pet. (Why is he hairless?) Because he is a sphynx cat, which is known for its lack of fur. The hairlessness of sphynx cats are because of a genetic mutation that effects the development of hair follicles, this breed was developed through selective breeding to enhance and maintain this unique trait. (How do I take care of my Bingus?) Ahem... lets get a little fancy, this is gonna be a long one.

Taking care of Bingus, or any Sphynx cat, is an adventure in itself. Their unique appearance and loving nature require a bit of special attention, but it’s worth every bit of effort. Here’s a fun and engaging guide to keep Bingus happy and healthy:

Bingus's Royal Care Routine

The Royal Bath: Because Bingus is a hairless wonder, he needs regular baths to keep his skin clean and free of oils. Aim for a weekly bath with a gentle cat shampoo. Remember to rinse thoroughly to avoid any residue that could irritate his skin.

Warmth and Comfort: Bingus lacks fur to keep him warm, so it’s essential to provide cozy, warm spots for him to nap. Think soft blankets, heated beds, and a sunny perch by the window where he can soak up the rays.

Skin TLC: Without fur, Bingus's skin is more exposed, so keep an eye out for any signs of irritation or dryness. A gentle wipe down with a damp cloth between baths can help manage oil buildup and keep his skin healthy.

Ear Care: Sphynx cats tend to have oilier ears, which can lead to wax buildup. Regularly check Bingus's ears and clean them with a vet-recommended solution to prevent infections.

Nail Maintenance: Trim Bingus's nails regularly, as he won’t have fur to protect against accidental scratches. A cozy cat tree or scratching post will also help him keep his claws in good shape.

Diet and Hydration: Provide a balanced diet rich in nutrients to support his energy levels and overall health. Always ensure fresh water is available, as hydration is key to keeping his skin supple.

Playtime and Socialization: Bingus is an affectionate and social kitty, so make sure he gets plenty of playtime and interaction. Toys, interactive games, and cuddles will keep him entertained and happy.

Regular Vet Visits: Schedule regular check-ups with the vet to monitor Bingus's health. Vaccinations, dental care, and routine health screenings are crucial for his well-being.

Taking care of Bingus might seem like a royal duty, but his quirky personality and endless affection make every moment worthwhile. Enjoy the journey of being his devoted caretaker! I hope this page helped! (Sorry if it sucks i've never written a page before.)
