I’m the owner of the two cats at the bottom of the page (Pixel & Willow). It’s nice to see someone with a clear opinion about these cats, other then “OMG they’re ugly!” In fact they are actually, but that’s only skindeep.
I’m not going to debate the ethics of breeding a mutation (have you seen some of the dogs people keep?). I’m much to biased for the weird and strange. I’d even love a robot if it could show affection and have big eyes (wall-E).
The first time I saw one of these creatures on Flickr I was sold. They aroused my curiosity and soon after I learned they were good for people with allergies. Being allergic to any kind of animal (except for the odd turtle and goldfish) I never had a pet in my life. So that’s how I got these two.

They are very affectionate in nature and often behave like small children. And boy are they smart. The most fun we have is talking to them, because they tend to respond with just the right meow to get you ROFL-ing in no time.

Like I said before, the looks are only skindeep, it’s the personality of them that gets to you. Here’s a tip if you feel up to it. Find someone who has one or two of them, not a breeder or a catshow. But someone who actually lives with them. Spend some time there and get to know the creatures. You’ll be surprised how they grow on you, and if you still don’t like it, no worries. They don’t leave any hair on you!!

Luke, that is so awesome about the sweaters! (Of course, some cats, like Mr Bun, are all friendy-like even when they’re warm :))

ps, please provide pic of cat in sweater.
