Hmm, looks like a Cornish Rex, which is not a hairless breed BTW. My folks had an adult male but I’ve never seen a kitten. Short, silky, wavy fur that lays very close to the skin giving the impression of hairlessness. Bizarre uncatlike bahavior but that may have just have been him. He seemed far more sent oriented than visual. he came to be quite affectionate while my folks had him so I see the kitten as more cute than terrifying. ---

That kitten looks precious. I will have to get one when I find a bigger place. ---

My co-workers must think I’m nuts!!! As for the OP, I think that’s the cutest ugly thing ever! And it did remind me of Joey on Friends. Joey: What is THAT?! Rachel: It’s a Cat! Ross: _horrified_ Why is it inside out??? ---

Kitten looks like a dedgum Moonie. What’s it going to cough up? Suntan lotion? ---

About the whiskers: Mother cats trim down the whiskers on their kittens so they don’t get poked by them when the kittens feed. With the skin colour… I know a few species of cat have patches of blue skin… ---

Awww. Lookit the cute little kitten! 😃 I think it’s adorable. (I’m a cat person, can you tell?). My brother thinks it’s kinda cute, my sister thinks it’s disgusting. Is that breed of cat particularily uncommon? ---

It’s composed of extended interviews with four people: a topiarist, a robot specialist, a lion tamer, and a guy who is apparently the world’s leading expert on the naked mole rat. Very strange movie. _We now return you to your regularly scheduled discussion of hairless pussies._ ---
