Hairless pets

Post Reply New Topic

Just read in the paper yesterday that chickens have been definitively found to descend from dinosaurs. Can't you see the resemblance to T.Rex in that little chick facing the camera?

I was watching a documentary on the BBC (I love the BBC) a few weeks ago about birds and dinosaurs. Emus look a lot like dinosaurs.
Bill Odie also did that Killer Dinosaurs series a couple of years ago.
So we have dinosaurs among us...

And we're eating them, too!

I don't dislike them...it's just every time I look at a hairless breed I shiver...they just look like they would be always sooo cold.

Especially the cats...they're always seeking out a warm place to sleep, even if they're only indoors...I would think the lack of fur would make it miserable for them.

I might eat a dinosaur later...

I wouldn't purposely go out and buy a Sphinx cat, but if I saw one cold and shivering out on the street, I would adopt it. I have a soft spot for any animal, especially a cat, needing a home. One Sphinx/Rex mix cat lived an incredible 34 years!

I had an iguana, and now I have basilisks. Does this count?

I don't think it's okay to breed Sphinx or Persian cats. The breed would have most certainly have became extinct in nature.

I have a snake and goldfish but I prefer furry animals when it comes to anything that traditionally has fur. It's nicer to stroke, and they always look a bit wrinkly and delicate when they don't have fur - I'd constantly be worried about them getting hurt or being cold. And after watching that video I'd also be concerned that their lack of eyelashes caused them problems, or something.

Also when you look at a bald cat they look really scrawny and not very cuddly - and more delicate because of it. I have rats, but dislike the look of hairless rats. Naked mole rats are scary looking, as well.

I massage my dogs head and stroke the fur the wrong way, which makes him go sleepy. I'd miss things like that if he was a baldy.

I love hairless animals. But then I have a strange idea of cuteness. And It's fun to chase stupid NTs around with them. I had a hairless rat and always wanted one of those cats with no fur.
