    Which breed of cat is that Rui? I'm not familiar with that one at all.

    Cool lookin' dude :D

    What does the skin feel like on these, maybe like suede?

    Re: WAAAAY OT, but I just couldīt resist showing!

    the breed is called a Hairless Sphynx. from what i've heard, you have to be careful with them as they can get easily sunburned.

    Scary looking cat. :shock:

    Re: WAAAAY OT, but I just couldīt resist showing!

    As Denizen said, itīs a Sphynx, and yes the skin is a very soft suede-like.

    He may look scary, but his personality is the opposite - he is the sweetest possible cat!

    I'm so intrigued to touch a hairless sphynx! They look like they've grown up near a nuclear reactor!!


    I feel a cat thread coming on!


    This is Britney. She is a Devil Cat!! :evil: But super cute when she isn't being naughty!!

    On a similar theme to the OP... Not sure what it is with this hairless thing, but here's the wife's Chinese Crestd hairless dog...

    Never thought I'd take to it, but she's quite cute in real life.... The Mrs ain't bad either :D :D

    Nice cat but cant help thinking that stroking it must be like touching a ballbag.

    Re: WAAAAY OT, but I just couldīt resist showing!

    Love the pic of him stretching out, kind of accentuates his otherworldly quality. Very excellent cat. Not sure about the watch though.

    Re: WAAAAY OT, but I just couldīt resist showing!

    Following the sad demise of the former matrimonial cat, my kids have a new kitten:



    Cookie.

    He's grown a bit since that photo, yet still manages to climb the Christmas tree. To the top.

    Now that was funny... :lol:



    I like cats, I have three...

    Neo, had his annual jabs today and was weighed... a stone and a half, big cat though, eight years old...



    Smokey, pedigree British Blue, cost an arm and a leg, lazy bastard...



    Buki, pedigree Marbled Bengal, another expensive one but you know how it works, she gets a cat, I get a watch...

    Don't seem to have a photo of him, I'll take one tomorrow, little shit that one...

    By the way, there's something just plain weird about a cat with no fur... :?

    Re: WAAAAY OT, but I just couldīt resist showing!

    Now I love Omegas, but I'm not the greastest fan of cats, but yours puts that watch in the shade. A cat with mega attitude, and great eyes. Thanks for posting the pics

    Some beautiful cats here, we have a couple but they are rescue cats so look pretty average.
    To the OP, beauty in an ugly kinda way. Just out of curiosity what sort of money do these cats range?

    Are they both Russian Blues? And from the same breeder - real variety in both of them!

    Gorgeous looking animal Rui. As it happens I am familiar with Sphynxes. Another interesting one is the Turkish Van Cat that swims and doesn’t like to climb trees. There are some really interesting stories involved with the breed going back to Noah’s Ark. And look at those eyes.

    We have two: an all white and an all black. It wasn't on purpose, both mostly chose us (five year apart).

    This is Loki, a 9 month old six toed polydactyl mongrel. Younger in this photo, he's now quite a large beast.

    Not a cat person at all.

    So could we please keep the furry critters OUT of Watch Talk, please!

    Dogs are okay though

    I am familiar with these. While they certainly are different, I would not want one around me either ....... well, or any cat for that matter.

    Re: WAAAAY OT, but I just couldīt resist showing!

    Even though they don't have fur do they still spend hours cleaning themselves?
    i.e. are they still unsuitable for folks with allergies?
