    i used to rent a room from a couple who had two of these cats. i believe they are called rex’s, i think they must have been developed by a sun block manafacturer to increase sales.

    twysted i think you’re thinking of devon rexes or cornish rexes — two semi-hairless varieties of cats

    completely hairless cats are called sphynx cats, or canadian hairless cats

    I hate cute tattoos. Really. However, that tattoo is disturbingly, happily cute. If I had a sphinx, I’d probably get its portrait tattooed on me too.

    Already cats are annoying drag queens of the pet world.. like they needed to be any uglier by having no fur (well, in cross breeding or some other genetic manipulation) .

    Their fur was the only thing that made them somewhat attractive, since they are soft. Without fur.. all those assets are poof, gone! No point to a cat after that..

    LOL ..sorry, i just don’t like cats. childhood trauma or something. .. its a well done tattoo though.. very realistic!

    Thats a hot lookin sphynx. The devon rex on my shoulder says not his kind, and it aint a cornish rex.

    Being a russian tattoo I would put money on it being a russian ‘don sphynx’, and not a ‘canadian sphynx’.

    Hot cattoo what more could you want?

    GORGEOUS! Bravo to the artist. What a sexy beastie! I have a little meatloaf of a Devon Rex and she looks almost exactly like this cutie. When I sketch her I still have the toughest time with those wrinkles. Kinda like drawing wrinkles in clothing, same principles, lol
