picture I’m not too sure about
It’s on Yahoo and not graphic, just doesn’t look real.
It can’t possibly be…
(can it?!?!)
It looks wooden
Toonces??
I just like the idea of an illicit fish trade. “Excuse me, sir. Is that a halibut in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?”
The nose is clearly plastic.
FairyChatMom, you beat me to it. It looks just like Toonces from Saturday Night Live! If only it were a story about a car smuggling opperation.
And I have to agree with DemonSpawn, the nose is obviously fake. Not to mention the fur and the eyes.
If these are the cats they have on the squad, I can’t see this being a terribly effective plan.
I think he’s just taking a very big stretch while the guy rubs his head.
His nostrils are on the front of his nose.
Brave Russian cats (cue the stirring music) valiantly checking car and trucks (thrilling film clips) to protect the treasures of Mother Russia’s sturgeon from stealthy smugglers! Coming soon to a theater near you, from Miramax.
Sound track by Dimitri Shostakovitch.
Damn! Beat me to it! That -ahhh-thing is a dead ringer for Toonces.
Or CATchaturian.
Oh God even I think that’s lame.
Oh, and you can see a seam in the left ear.
Of course it’s not a real photo. Actual images of the Russian sniffer cats would put their lives and that of their families at risk.
It is a simple security precaution. Don’t you people watch television?
Yeesh that’s a creepy looking picture. It’s definitely not real. The ears have no depth, like a stuffed animal there’s just a fur panel there.
But I would also like to jump on the Toonces bandwagon.
Well here is a Toonces fan site with some images of Toonces. He sure does not look like the Russian cat.
Or Meowssorgsky.
My favorite is “The Great Furball of Kiev”, although “The Hut On Mouse Legs” is also good.
Yeah, but it’s got a Scooby-Doo tag. How cool is that, Comrade?
