she definitely heard you typing that. you should probably sleep with one eye open tonight.

seriously though, what a beautiful cat! the stripes! the golden eyes! she looks like the cats you'd see in pictures from the 1800s

Nah y'see all them wrinkles makes so there's more skin than it looks like. This kitty's surface area prolly comprises no more than 50% ears.

He really does look like a wrinkly little raisin, doesn't he? The interesting thing is that those waves are entirely from the curly fur, the skin under there isn't wrinkly at all! Cornish Rex is a really strange breed.

Cats make me wish I wasn't allergic to cats.

This breed (Cornish Rex) is actually pretty good for people with allergies. No cat is completely hypoallergenic, but Cornish Rex are close. Both my mom and I have pretty bad allergies to "normal" cats, but she isn't bothered at all by Casper and Mocha when she visits, as long as she doesn't touch her eyes right after petting them.
