H is for Hairless

cat photo Pity. When I look at my friend’s little pet, two words come to mind. 1. Alien and 2. Pity.

Meet Patches, the hairless cat. No, Patches was not born (randomly) missing the hair gene. Patches was bred that way. Those with allergies probably really appreciate hairless cats. I just feel sorry for them because they are missing something that cats themselves probably value a lot. Patches doesn’t even have whiskers! Well, I did see a mini-whisker on the one side. I wonder if hairless cats feel confused?

I just think hairless cats look really strange and awkward. But Patches is a wonderful cat, don’t get me wrong. She warmed up to me right away. She has a warm and gentle personality. And the longer I look at her face, the more beauty I see, to be honest. I confess it’s taken  some looking, though. cat 2

My girlfriend actually owns two hairless cats. Mom and daughter. If you think Patches looks strange, you should see Phoebe. Her hair is starting to grow back, so she has a few little tufts growing here and there. Unfortunately (or perhaps, fortunately), I didn’t get a photo of her.

Nice thing about hairless cats is, you can dress them up when you take them out. If you dare take them out. ;)

Patches reminds me that it’s what’s inside that counts. And that everything is beautiful..in its own way.

    Cat fur is my favorite part of a cat!

    I'm sure he's a wonderful companion. I do wonder, how do you know if he's scowling...he must look like that all the time. ;-) www.dianeweidenbenner.com My "G" word is about our kitty, Gracie.

    Wow! Patches is cute in a very unconventional way! I once pet a pair of hairless cats at Petco and thought they were sweethearts. Although, a bit "sticky"? You can't run your hand over them smoothly! LOL! Thanks for visiting my blog for the A to Z Challenge! ~ Angela, Whole Foods Living, http://www.wholefoodsliving.blogspot.com/

    Lanny looked and said, "I think I am going to cry."

    That is some cat! But I could see loving it. I bet it's soft, even if it isn't furry.
