Have you EVER seen anything like this???

[moosmom]

This is Ari, now "Hairie". I feel so bad for him cuz he's, well, DIFFERENT. Some people would consider him a freak. I love him sooooo much. He's a great cat that has gone through alot. One of 50 cats found in a house in New Haven, CT.

I have since found out that Hairie is a Sphynx/Cornish Rex mix. THAT'S why his hair keeps coming back.

He's not a freak - he is unique. Looks pretty adorable to me

Poor Ari. That has to be about the ugliest cat I've ever seen! Do you remember a beer commercial with a dog named Larry? Well, Ari is the Larry of cats. I bet he's a sweetie, though. I'm so glad you adopted him.

IT LOOKS AS THOUGH HIS FUR IS SLOWLY STARTING TO GET DARKER ON THE SIDE, I WONDER IF THAT HAPPENS A LOT WITH DEVON REX AND SPHYNX CATS.
AND I WONDER HOW MUCH MORE OF THAT HANDSOME CAT WILL CHANGE COLOR
WHAT A FANTASTIC BEAUTIFUL CREATURE OF GOD!!!

Donna - he is lovely and unique.

I apologize for saying this - but his eye looks really awful, way worse than the last time I saw a pic of him. Maybe the flash hit it wrong?

Hugs to Ari.

Ari is adoreable and unique. He is a rare find and you were lucky enough to have him land in your house to live with you forever. I would kiss him and that adoreable face all day long.

I would personally take on ANYONE who says Ari is a freak! I think he's nothing short of adorable and looks so darn sweet. Donna, it's easy to see why you love him so much and I hope Ari will be a regular PT visitor.

Hi Ari! Would you ask your Meowmie to give you lots and lots of lovies from me?

[moosmom]

Smokey,

I LMAO when I read your "He is the ugliest cat I've ever seen!" He's unique.

Catty1,

His eye is the same as it's been. I put Timoptic in it 2x a day to keep it moist.

I love him so much. He's a very gentle cat who loves to sleep in a paper bag.

[jazzcat]

Yep, unique is the best way to describe him.

Maybe his hair patch will grow long and he can try a comb over. HEHEHE!

[RICHARD]

LOve him...

How's about slipping him some rogaine?

[Medusa]

No two people are the same and, thankfully, that's true in the cat world. It would be boring to find sameness. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I behold Ari's beauty and I'm sure he has a beautiful personality as well. That makes him pretty darned easy to love, yes?

[catnapper]

Oh Donna, I'm rolling here!!! What a silly looking little boy. Tell him he's handsome for me!

[moosmom]

The weird thing is the fur will grow in patches all over his body, then it falls out. I wish I had the money to get his eye fixed and make him all better, but I was told that the eye ulcer is like having a constant piece of sand in your eye. The surgery is expensive and no guarantee it'll work. I keep putting in the eye goo and it helps keep it moist.
