    When people first come to my house, my sphynx runs right up to greet them and I often get asked "Is that a cat?". I've heard he looks like an alien, ET, a rat, Yoda, etc. Sphynx aren't actually quite hairless, they are covered in a fine down, and petting them is like touching the softest suede you can imagine. My guy has a HUGE personality, and he is the best cat I've ever met hands down.

    I know he's probably your baby and very sweet, but that is a SCARY picture! Looks demonic! If I woke up and saw that looking down at me I'd probably wet the bed!

    Le gasp!! its not demonic its so adorable!! I have always wanted a sphynx but I was a lucky woman when my kitty Mr.Kits chose me! He was a stray and worm filled and just so pathetic looking it was sad that anyone would abandon him. What was more shocking is when I brought him to the vets they said he was already fixed :noway: I was all happy about it, but still upset that people can get pets and just throw them away....BUT ANYWAYS!!! He is my fluffy ball of joy and is a real cuddlier. I also have a Shiba Inu dog, he looks like a little fox and is a hyper out of control treat hound :). ( if I could figure out how to add pics I would add one but dunno how)

    LOL I call this his Mr Burns (from the Simpsons) impression. Plotting to take over the world! In reality, he was fast asleep and when I called his name, he half opened his eyes and looked at me. He is the absolute sweetest and very social. He is always in the middle of the action, and his main goal every day is to find someone willing to let him curl up with them for as long as possible.

    I once had a hairless rat named Ruby who ended up being pregnant and having 11 babies. I kept the two hairless girl rats and named em Jade and Opal. They were awesome pet!

    Yay for all of the rats. I've had lots of rats and also ferrets. Right now I have cats but I plan to get some prairie dogs and a few more rats when I get a bigger place.

    Those Benegals are just so adorable! Other than a Dogue De Bordeaux and DDB x Neo Mastiff x Aussie Bulldog, I have seven pythons... being an Aussie, they're all Australian pythons, we can't own "exotics". I used to have two bearded dragons, too, but sold them a little while back when we moved to a new house.

    Do you mean strange pets as in rare pets? Or strange pets as in they act strange? I have 2 English bulldogs, they aren't rare but they are strange. Love my bullies!

    lol. I actually own The Rat Stash & now work closely with Guinea Pig Market sewing hammocks & hideys for small animals. I myself own 3 cats & 3 rats that have pretty much taken over my life. <3

    I guess my avatar pretty much sums me up. :p

    KaleidoscopeE: Smeezes & hoodies... those melt my heart. So glad to see a fellow member with the same love for rats.

    Sunshinestate: Beautiful piggies. I owned just one when I was little but sadly did not have the knowledge of proper care and housing that I do now. Since working with the Market I now see a lot more photos & videos of happy piggies popcorning around, and they really do look like such wonderful, interesting pets. I love all the "wheeking".

    You're on Goosemoose, aren't you? I'm SatiricalWoman on there! And, I *think* I have your page "like" on FB too. Small world.

    lol. how funny. Yes, I am certainly on Goosemoose, RatShack forum, you name it. Small world indeed. I think many of the die-hard rat owners tend to find their way to Goosemoose eventually. There is just such a wealth of knowledge and experience there.
