Who would own one?

You'd have to keep the little bugger covered in sunscreen, especially if it's light coloured. It's not pretty when cats gets skin cancer
What about in winter? Will you knit it a little jersey to keep warm? Or make a suit out of fake fur, so it looks like a real cat.

So in summing up: Most of those who posted here actually only like the fur - after all that is the thing that is missing on the cat that seems to be the basis for their judgement.

In that case those people should, instead of having/buying a cat, grab a handful of pink batts, spray them a tabby colour and sit with that in your lap - saves fleas, furballs, vomitted lizards and piss on you bikes wheels.

And if you run over the fekker it will be easy to 'reconstitute' it back into shape.

Looks cool, I'd have two!
Do you pat them or iron them?

We have the devon rex (little bit of fur) Best cat we have ever had good character. The sphinx is alot work though needs sun block almost all year long and got to be realy carefull in the winter even with the devon rex you have to be carefull in the winter and summer. But they are realy good pets more like dogs than pets!

I think it's cute in a weird sort of way... if you want one... get it... if no-one else likes it then at least you know it'll love you more!!

I'd have that for shock value, plus it won't moult.
Although I've just heard about a Norwegian Wood cat (?) they love water, they even have slightly webbed paws. Platypus?
It even shares shower time with the family.

Why do the bloody things need sunblock? Surely if they're Egyptian they're used to the odd bit of sun. But if you really want to protect it from the sun, stick it in a bag then you wont have to look at the ugly fucker either.

I've just heard about a Norwegian Wood cat .

Do they suffer from dry rot?
...or priapism?

[Oakie]

I'm surprised that no-one has brought up that thing about people resembling their pets .... or is pets resembling their owners? Whatever ....

I know its thread dredging, but if anyone can get me in contact with a breeder or know if they are even bred in NZ. Can't let MS know, but if I have one, it cant be kicked out......

The whole point of a cat is its fur - that lovely soft fur that you can pat and feel better about your life! Naked cats? You may as well just stroke a man...! (Now there's a thought!)

But if I was allergic to cats (heaven forbid), I'd have one of these because at least it is still a cat.
