Kohona Love

Jack sent this feline family to me. They're kohona sphynx cats, and they remind us all of the Christmas spirit with their unconditional love for each other. They also remind me to add a nice winter coat to my Christmas list - they must be freezing. You try walking around with no clothes on, and completely shaved. Do it in private, though. We don't want to see that.

Harry and Fuzzy

Sharla and Steven are two pet owners who know exactly what this blog is about. They love their hairless guinea piggies - named Harry and Fuzzy - and are proud to share them here, with you.

So say hello to these two new residents of Ugly Overload. You will never meet another pirate / cowboy combo quite like them.

Thanks for the photos, Sharla and Steven.

BTW, these two hail from Hawaii. Is there some sort of hairless gene running rampant over there? Between these critters and the kohona cats, I'm beginning to see a disturbing trend.

Rest and Play

Some of you may remember my post on kohona cats. These are a very rare breed, native (in a sense, at least) to Hawaii. Well, Tiffany saw this post, an wanted to send along a photo of her kitty. You've gotta love pet owner pride.

This sequence shows him at rest and at play. Tiffany, does he ever open his eyes? And what is he doing in the second photo? Is he really flipping us all off? Bad cat!

Thanks for the photos, Tiffany.

Abominations in Paradise

Below is the photo of a truly hairless cat. This kitten is a kohona sphynx, one of only a few cats that bear the hairless genetic trait that has only been found on Hawaii. See folks, even paradise can produce abominations.

Thanks for the link, Phlimm.
