Julip and Joely, thank you - Hela had a good life and so did Mo.

Sea, I'm salivating!

Joely, thank you for mentioning the sale at Nordstrom. I bought a hooded robe for my aunt - total cost was $93, including tax and shipping.
Their regular price is $144, BTW.

Kapow~ I wanted to get a Sphinx but my DH said it looked like a rat! I liked the idea of no hair. I know they are like the Chinese (?) Crested dogs in that you have to be careful they don't get sunburn etc. My friend's friend had one...they are very sweet and love to be cuddled cause they are always cold!

When I went to Petsmart just now I saw the kitties they have for adoption (I should know better than to look) there was a Siamese mix sweet 15 year old cat sitting very sad there...it's owner had passed away and the family did not want to take care of it! My heart is breaking for this kitty. It is missing it's owner and now it is going to spend possibly the rest of it's life in a cage! What is wrong with people!?! Anyone know someone who wants a sweet old kitty?

Kapow, all I know about any hairless cats is that they would LOVE, love, LOVE anything CC....yuk-ka, yuk-ka!!

My dear daughter threw me for a loop tonight. I bought her a robe and she says she wants one made of polar fleece with stars and moons on it and if I can't find one, she wants me to make her one. I asked her if she didn't want one like mom's only in a cool Sarah color and she said she wants stars and moons in polar fleece. ack!! She hasn't seen her CC robe yet as it's not here and it's for Christmas but she's going to be getting 2 robes if I can get the stars and moon one for her that we saw a couple months ago. I told her that they probably wouldn't still have it in the store but she really wants me to try.

Tess I think they still had stars and moons at Meryns a week or so ago. But that was adult sizes.. wasn't looking in Sarah's dept.

Julip - My son and I think your and Bonza's Tonks are way better looking than the ones on the CFA site! We like their faces. He noticed right off just from the pics that the Tonks were more muscular and fuller bodied than the Siamese. Well, he DID work for a cat vet for 6 mo. and hopefully will return again for their next "seasonal help" crew. He really didn't want to give up that job! The vet, of course, has all of the "show" variety of Siamese, plus she has Abyssians which we just adore, too! Last night he was holding Misha and I pushed her ears down and held her face so she looked like the show cat variety. LOL She puts up with so much, but then she GIVES so much!! DD called from college to say Misha had chewed the elbow out of one of her favorite sweaters this past weekend. Had a nasty surprise she tried to put it on today!! I'm thinking about what I can do to make sure she doesn't eat the CC coming into the house. Maybe if I spray some body spray onto it, it will have a bad taste to her, but the smell will go out unlike perfume, although I don't want to overdo it and fumigate myself! LOL Love, love, love the picture album! I've bookmarked it so I can go back and look more later!!

Hukd - You're more than welcome to come over and try on the CC! The robe is a Christmas gift for DD#1, but you can wear it until then. It's good to share, right?!!! (She'll never know! heh heh) Besides, we'll need warmth on our journey up north to clog!! :-)

Dee - Oh my lawdy! Those pics of your cat and the bunny are priceless!!! My oldest DD used to let our gerbils, hamsters and rats crawl all over Jade and she'd just sit there watching them! Misha has played with her skink (lizard) but the skink gets kind of scared and poops! She's not sure she trusts Misha and her playing with the rats when she brings them to visit, usually when she spends more than a couple of days, which is only at Christmas. Misha is declawed, but as noted above, she does like the CHEW!

From what I've read, you do have to be really careful with a Sphinx cat and you'll pay a pretty penny for one. It's not like a lot of people have them or breed them. :-)

While I was at the book store I was reading a book "101 Cataclysms:For the Love of Cats" Rachel Hale is the Anne Geddes of cat photography. She has funny little stories about the personalities of each cat and some sayings. My favorite..."Dogs think they are human. Cats think they are God."

Kapow~ wow those kitties have gone up in price. You got me interested again and I just went to a breeder's website...http://www.sphynxus.com/

"Price is $1,500 as a Pet and $2,000 as a Show Breeder.A $500 non-refundable deposit is
required to reserve a kitten." Sorry for the size...

Omigoodness! Get that kitty a blankie!!! hee hee

I do love Sphinxs - have always been intrigued by them, but I have never seen one in person. They are supposed to make wonderful pets!

Watching - thanks! Bonzai's breeder definitely bred more on the Siamese side, but he does certainly have the Tonk eyes and slightly more rounded body of the Burmese. Bonza's kits are beautiful and very Burmese-y, I've always thought. I love how P&B are so muscular and boxy - and that coloring!

Oh, I did want to suggest to you to pick up a little thing of Vick's Vapor Rub and give that a try to nip Misha's chewing in the bud. Not sure how it will work for kitties, but this was the best advice we got from Daphne's trainer. She nibbled on a coffee table when she was teething when she was a puppy...after a thin swab of the Vapor Rub where she chewed before, she never pursued it again! It works great, and I have passed that tip to my friends with new puppies, with great success.

WOW - cold nights have arrived and I have finally gotten a chance to use my Janie blue throw, which has been folded on a bench by the bed since it arrived. It's purrfect for us because DH does not (ever) need another layer, so throw size really works.

And guess who is happiest? Yes, of course - the motherlode of CC™ is covering half a king bed. It's a safe bet that they will be on my side until March...

Brrrrrrrrrrr...the kitten made me shiver!! LOL Well, it could be that it started out at about 70 today although it was windy like in OZ windy!! I got all warm shopping and came out with a load and left my jacket in the car. When I came out again, it had dropped 10 degrees and was pouring rain! I had a bunch of stuff to carry in and got more wet and now after sitting (and I'm sure the temp has dropped more) my legs are getting cold and then I see that kitty! <SHIVER!!!!!> Cute lil thing though! Yeah, they sure are pricey!! I was afraid that were at least that much!

Julip - Well, Misha is a sneaky little bugger and since what she likes to chew is soft material like socks, sweaters, etc., we'd have to put that stuff on EVERY sock in the house! I noted this before, but DH noticed she doesn't touch his WORN socks!! She just goes after the freshly washed ones, so I think she'd taste a bad sock and go looking for a more tasty one! Add on sweater... robe... blanket... and I think our whole house would smell mentholated! LOL She's so bad!!! Ah..but I love her just the same!! She's so cute and cuddly when she's not naughty! heh heh

Yeah, the Tonks are more muscular and shorter than the Siamese (I can't get used to saying "Apple Head" - I'd rather just call them "old style" or "pet quality! Never could figure out that Gwynie person calling her baby Apple! Crazy celebrities! LOL!) Misha just looks so much like your Tonks since she's not skinny minny like show cats.. she's a bit of a chunk..for a Siamese anyway!

Bonza.... Oh you and Precious sure look comfy and CUTE!!!!!!!! Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

I don't know if times were mentioned before or not Sea, so..... what time do you leave or have you left today?! I keep thinking about you and your car situation! I wish those keys would have turned up for you! I'm notorious for losing them in my purse and I'll search and search and not find them (even with a huge keychain, etc!) and then all of a sudden, there they are! I've driven myself crazy doing that more than once! Or I find them in a jacket pocket... etc., etc. I guess you would have found them by now if that was the case. :-(

Keep us posted!! {{{{Sea}}}}}

Ooh, snugglicious Tonks on blue CC (with a little peek of wasabi/aqua ice)! Now I really can't wait for my Janie blue blanket to arrive tomorrow. :o) Too bad mine doesn't come with a Precious and Bonza accessory kit!

Glad to hear the Santa Anas have passed, finally! We've had late spring weather here for the past couple of days, but a cold front is dramatically pushing on in as I type!

Watching - oh yes, now I remember about the washed socks/worn socks preference lol. My dog, Daphne, loves stealing socks. Things get very quiet around here and she is nowhere to be found...which is how we know she somehow grabbed one. Then we find her hidden somewhere with the guiltiest look you can imagine, since she knows she has contraband. She likes them all, worn, unworn, you name it.

Yes, the vapor rub wouldn't be a good fix in your case, I see now lol. No stuffy noses there! :o)

I had a cat that ate wool.. socks.. and she'd always destroy just one sock in a pair. Also ate a huge hole in the back of a wool sweater.

The cats at that time were banned from the bedroom and socks and other items were banned from the rest of the house and if you left an item out, tough. I was 19 and newly married and probably didn't have an edible robe

Oh, and I'm shutting down here and will soon go check out and wait for my shuttle to the airport.

Later, gators (and bonzas and pugs and friends)

Hate to be harsh but I think people would be more attractive if they had fur faces like most cats, so it is sad to impose hairlessness on an innocent animal and that is what some breeders obviously did in the case of that breed of cat.

Thanks all for the sphinx advice. I did not realize how expensive they are! I want a new kitty but have to deal with DH allergies so I thought a sphinx might work for us. However, i am a fan of rescue kitties and don't think I'll be seeing a sphinx there!
