Seems kinds pointless. If you want something colourful why not go for an ocicat or something? Is this site even for real (or furreal)? *bad pun* :|

It looks real enough, you can't count anything out when you see how most people are turning normal animals into fashion accessories.

I have to admit it is pretty....BUT what about when they groom themselves? That can't be good for them...and I wonder what that poor cat went through having to sit there while this was being done. Seems cruel to do this to an animal, they have no choice, I think they should do it on themselves or a stuffed animal instead if they like it that much.

Wondered how they would ever get a cat to set still for this. :lol:

I'd never.

Animals aren't anything close to fashion accesories.

I think I like having shellie as a black cat anyway.

I do not see the advantage of altering the color of my cat. If he told me that he wanted to get painted, maybe I would do it, but he seems to be quite happy with his color. :wink:
