    Kohana?

    I was browsing Sphynx pictures in Flickr and saw a post about Kohana's.
    Personally they aren't my cup of tea. Apparently they have no hair at all.
    They are so shiny and wrinkly!

    Is that ....a cat????

    I'd love him or her anyway....but the problem is, it encourages more 'experimentation'. Kitty is just a pawn, and victim....

    ETA: the kitten pics here look MORE cat-like. I guess it's just the pose of the one above. ETA2 - it's a newborn - or just a few days old! They DO start looking, er, normal after a while!

    Now this one is pretty, I don't think it looks too much different from a Sphynx but some of the other ones, well lets just say I think is is a "face only a mother could love" and if I was it's mother I would Love it despite it's wrinkledness. I am not so sure I would want to pet something that felt like a candle though

    I agree. EWWWWWW!!!!! I didn't say anything earlier because I didn't want to get rounded on.

    Genetic manipulation to improve the breed in one thing, but some of these animals are comfortable UNCOMFORTABLE (it should say) to say the least. I don't even like the pushed in faces of the Persian. Poor babies.

    Edit: I meant to say that the critters look like they might me uncomfortable, cold, etc. All for a few bucks or some thrills.

    Hey - there are only 14 of these in the world. And that first pic was not the best choice...it is a kitten just a few days old, and ANY kitten that age has closed eyes and hardly any ears showing. This breed looks like a blob at that age.

    I am SO glad I went to the site and saw older ones! Much easier to take.

    But - I wonder if the breeders would just stop propagating them...they won't because money talks.
