Either this one or a style very similar. It's actually kinda cute.
BTW: She is the ultimate "cat lady".

Hi Beardy!
I saw one very similar to that for sale at a cat show. Have you ever been to a cat show? I'm not interested in the judging and all that, but it's fascinating to walk around and see all those unusual breeds that one usually sees only in books. I hear that Abyssinian cats make wonderful pets. The are supposed to be almost like dogs(very intelligent, people-oriented, affectionate and attentive). And have you ever seen those hairless cats? They look very old and naked.

Bekka, have you ever held a hairless cat (Sphynx)? While their looks aren't the greatest, they feel incredible - like very soft warm suede. They're also supposed to be very loving cats. It's said that they had to make up in personality what they lacked in looks. The one I got to play with was very sweet natured & cuddly. They seem to crave people & attention.

Iso,Remember Dr Evil of Austen Powers' movies? He had one. And then Mini-Me had one in the second one, too. (I didn't see the third yet, does Kit-ty appear there, too?)

Wendy, I never saw the Austin Power flicks - not my style - so I didn't know about their cats. While fur doesn't grow on those cats, those cats can grow on people. Owners get very defensive about their hairless kitties.
Dreamer, yes, the poor things get very cold easily & need to be strictly indoor cats. 'Cause a cat's body temperature is around 102, they make great hot water bottles for people to cuddle. One drawback is, even though they have no fur, they still have oil glands where each hair follicle would be & can leave an oily spot if they sleep on the same piece of furniture all the time.

Hi IsoM,
No, unfortunately, I have never held a Sphinx (hairless cat), but I'd like to. When I went to the cat show, I wanted to pet all of the cats, but the owners/breeders were very protective of their prized possessions! I think they have to be careful about germs being transmitted from one cat to the next, so they don't let others pet their cats. I've also heard that the Sphinxes are very affectionate, cuddly and people-oriented. I wonder whether that is some survival mechanism. I mean, it must be awfully cold without their fur coats. If humans went naked all day long, we'd probably have to be more affectionate and cuddly, too, just to stay warm!

I think few of us nowadays could eat animals that we raised from babies. When the meat's packaged & soulless, it's easy eat meat without thinking of the animal it once was. My brother was a meat-cutter for a while & his 9 year old son (he was a little dumb) didn't even believe meat came from animals! When animals are raised in big factory type farms, farmers regard them as income & don't see the personality in the animals.
When I was younger, we got some chicks & I picked one as my pet. I grew quite fond of her & was very upset when my father killed her along with the others for meat. I would never have the heart to kill an animal I knew well for food.
I have a tragic-funny story to tell that I read long ago. It's supposedly true (it was in the true life stories that the Reader's Digest carried - how much more authoritive could it be?).
A young girl had a lamb that was entered in a country fair & it won a top prize. All the meat animals were going to be auctioned afterwards, her lamb included. As the bids rose for her lamb the girl started crying. The more the bids came, the harder she cried. One kind hearted man felt sorry for her & outbid everyone else & then gave the girl her lamb back. He was so touched by her tears.
The ending of the story came about when a teacher asked her class to write about their summer experiences. The girl related her story of her lamb, the tears, & the highest bid ever made for a lamb. She was crying, not from grief of her lamb being sold, but from joy that the bidding was so high on HER lamb. The story ended with her writing "...and we had the lamb barbecued & she was delicious!"
How's that for Mary & her little lamb?

i too believe that children should be very aware
of where their food comes from.
out of respect(whether you are god fearing or not)
for their lives.and i think they should be armed with that knowledge so they can make their own choices in life.i have 5 kids-we all eat meat'

he does indeed appear in the 3rd flick. I think. can't remember. Mini-me was there for sure, and Scott. and some guy who eats his own skin flakes, ewww.
But Mr Bigglesworth was not actually a hairless cat, he was a white fluffy cat who lost his fur in an unfortunate time-travel mishap.

I LOVE Seth Green. Did you see him in "Rat Race"? If not, you owe it to yourself...

Yukky.

Really, Ms Tabby? (you have such a kitty name). Now who's a film buff?
Which was best One, Two or Three? I think Mike Myers is a genius. I had to serve my daughter a quick dinner before her basketball practice yesterday, so I got a "Lean Pocket" out of the freezer (just like a hot pocket) to heat up for her, and then I kept saying to her "What about a hot pocket?" over and over til she just shook her head and called me mentally ill... And then I kept saying: "We do not eat our kitties," over and over, it just felt good...
Goofy city.
Signing off,
Wendy

I probably laughed the most at #1, cause it was all fresh and new. #2 was too gross due to Fat Bastard and Heather Graham (she creeps me out). I might say #3 was my favorite. I was a sucker for the daddy issues theme. Seth Green is so good. Every time I see him I see Scott Evil though.

I haven't seen 3 yet, but I did see 1 and 2. I liked the first one, but the second was disgusting, with a lot of bathroom humor. By the way, why don't you like Heather Graham?

Maybe it's because I'm male, but I must say that I have absolutely no problems with Heather Graham. :)
