Hairless cats feel like a warm peach, or a chamois hot water bottle. When you make them happy, they respond with a full body blush. So adorable. "You pinked the kitty!" Meeting one in person was much nicer than I had expected, because they look wrinkly and shriveled and odd.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Herding cats for fun

I look more rad than Lutheranism
It's a sphinx cat, damnit!
I know they're called that, but I tend to refer to them as hairless cats, because most *other* people don't know they're called sphinx cats. Force of habit.
A queen. Her name is Ripley. Nic and I are both in love - we think she's stunning.
Oh, they're lovely. If I got a kitty, it would be a sphinx. And Katerina Bee is right -- they're like a sueded hot water bottle. With muscles.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Heh. The only oddity is that they don't jump with the same classic elegance of their hairier cousins; the lack of whiskers and eyebrows make it tricky.

No whiskers? Huh.

No whiskers, no brows. But every muscle, sleek and visible. Gorgeous cats.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
I fear I am not large with Amber love myself.
I read one one high recommendation from a friend ( 9 Princes in Amber , I think) and just didn't spark to it.
I think I might be more of a short story fan, though. Any particular collections to recommend?

Dunno about the collections, but Betsy's right, and "A Rose for Ecclesiastes" is quite brilliant.

Astarte, all the short stories are good. He's astonishing at it. Some are more pastiche, some are deeply heroic and human (my taste runs toward these), some are universal puzzles - they're all superb.

I've been trying to think of something constructive to say about all this week's drabbles but I'm coming up with nothing. They're just amazing and ita's makes me homesick for a place I've never been.
For my own Blue drabble, all I can think of is the Blue's Clues theme. I'm leaving that one alone. At least I've got another few days.
