WAAAAY OT, but I just couldīt resist showing him !!!
My newest love affair - Bashir. The friendliest and smartest cat ever!
And at a younger age...
Just to keep it a little bit "on topic", here is a photo from one of my favority waches...
Enjoy!

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Cool lookin' dude :D
What does the skin feel like on these, maybe like suede?
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:
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!
Rui
Gorgeous!! The faint markings look fantastic 8)
Like mentioned before, careful in the sun, or he'll be one sore boy.....
He's a real "dude" - and if you get bored of the Omega.....
A couple more photos...
Enjoy!
Rui
Stunner dude 8)
I suspect a coat will be required for winter?
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
I must be going blind :shock: not withstanding the fact i can't stand cats anyway but that is one strange looking little fellow, none the less im glad your happyOriginally Posted by Chris_in_the_UK
Gremlins was a great film :-)
Looks like a great pet.
You've made my cat Scooter hungry :D
Just kidding, he wouldn't hurt a fly.
Nice Scooter!
Always wanted to stroke one of these :lol: Here are my two cats, one is lazy, the other a little bugger. Can you guess which is which? :lol: :lol:
Could not resist...
Amazing looking cat Rui, my two say hi :)
Rui, Nice - Would have looked better with a Cyclops though :)
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!!
cold blooded killer...
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
Wow love those Red eyes on Britney. She is a Devil Cat.
Bit of Photoshop me thinks - But it looks fantastic
The wife just walk in and said - Oh my god WHO shaved the cat . . . . lol
And an update...
Enjoy!
Rui
Sorry I'm not a cat person. This pic makes it look like an evil zombie cat.
Very cute in a ugly kind of way!
Dont look back, youre not heading that way.
Nice cat but cant help thinking that stroking it must be like touching a ballbag.
Hi Rui, if you are thinking about popping over to old blighty for a few days, with the weather the way it is at the mo' don't worry, my wife will be more than happy to knit a luvverly coat for your beautiful cat. :lol:
Love the pic of him stretching out, kind of accentuates his otherworldly quality. Very excellent cat. Not sure about the watch though.

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:Originally Posted by Skool
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... :?
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?

THIN is the new BLACK
A Maine Coon cat if I'm not mistaken? Fine breed, good hunters, not at all common.Originally Posted by shadowman
This one's a stray tabby that I found as a kitten one day up in the Bronx. Won't let me photograph my watches in peace.

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

:lol:
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.Originally Posted by Ron Jr
Even though they don't have fur do they still spend hours cleaning themselves?
i.e. are they still unsuitable for folks with allergies?
