Egyptian Sphinx cats are hairless. Very unique cats. With lots of sweaters. lol

For those who have long haired cats, Angoras, Himalayan and such,they know how much hair they brush off their fur babies.

Giving it to birds to help line their nests beats tossing it in the trash.

That's why I will only ever have short-haired cats. They take care of themselves. I don't have time to sit around brushing a cat.

Mind you, I like cats a lot. But not enough to spend that much time on them.

That's a neat idea for a use for all that cat hair though. I'm sure the birds like when I sweep the dog hair off the carport. There sure isn't a big pile of dog hair just outside the carport, where I usually sweep it to. Something's happening to it.

My Siberian Forest Cat and Norwegian Forest cat are not that difficult and time-consuming to comb/brush. The Maine Coon I had was terribly time-consuming to keep properly combed/brushed. :eek:

Yes I have a blue point cat... I believe that's the breed ...she has blue eyes and gray paw pads not pink et cetera, and she's rather pretty although a bit plain, being cream and Cocoa colored... And she does have fairly long fur, which I'm constantly picking off of her body and out of her mouth and off the carpet ... and brushing off of my furniture and clothes as well LOL. So I do understand in some ways the attraction of a hairless cat, but I just can't get over how unlike a cat they really look. I see pictures of them at work, and I cannot ever really get used to not seeing fur on a cat. I am sorry to say they do not look very attractive to me without any fur.

Lol, so if someone doesn't like cats without fur, would they be accused of being a Fur-ist? (Biased against naked cats?!) 😂

I think those little furless crinkle cats are cute, but I guess I think of them as a separate species from regular fur-on cats. 😬😸

Crinkle cats?

All cats do that with their skin where it bends. You just don't see it usually because of the fur.

Shoot, we do that with our skin where it bends. Ever look at the back of your finger joints?

Yes, I know.

But I saw a YouTube short of an owner who gently touched her furless cats at the base of it's tail, and its smooth back rippled up just like a crinkle cut French fry. 😁😸

That's mean! How would she like it if somebody poked her at that spot just above the hip where the nerve plexus is?

I hope the cat bit her...

Have you ever thought about dying a cat purple to match the rest of your color scheme?

The reason I ask is, I once saw an article about some popular woman who liked pink so much that everything she owned was pink. She even had a white cat that she regularly washed in a pink dye bath.

You probably shouldn't do it to the cat in this particular picture. That cat looks like you would get a face full of claws if you tried it. I don't know, just the impression I get. But you could get a more wimpy cat, probably white, and dye it purple.

No, I cannot say I have ever seriously considered dying my cat, or any animal for that matter, though
I have heard stories, especially in my early days as a photo finisher, about people who had unnaturally
coloured pets, and how the printers tried and tried to no avail to get the animal to look normal, not realizing
it was supposed to look rather bizarre LOL. And these days with anything goes, it has only gotten more bizarre...

And you are right about Luna... her claws are an ever-present danger, as are her teeth...
