Cuteh Kitteh - massive fail.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Sphynx - not really.  I prefer the Cornish or Devon Rex:



Of course the classic genetic cockup of the cat world is the Manx - or the Japanese Bobtail.

My sister had a Rex. Apart from feeling strange with his woolly coat he had the disconcerting habit of draping himself across the shoulders of a person at the dining table and then craning his neck round to try to intercept each mouth-bound forkful. As my sister and BIL are veggies this seemed a waste of time.

What the fuck is that?

Yuk!

I stayed at a campsite last year which had several of these beauties stalking around..

I went to an alarm activation at a private residence several years ago now and the owners were Bengal breeders.  They were an impressive cat. I am not a cat person but I reckon if I was, and could afford one, the Bengal would be the one for me.


If you have a proper Bengal cat, you require a licence under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act.  However, most Bengal cats in the UK are so many generations removed from the wild cat hybrid that you don't.

That could be considered a requirement for some domestic moggies anyway....  ;)
